What is viscose fiber?
Viscose fiber is a type of man-made fiber. It is a viscous solution obtained by chemically reacting natural fiber with carbon disulfide after alkalization and then dissolving it in dilute alkali solution. It can be obtained after further processing. Viscose fiber. It is the earliest man-made textile fiber to appear. Viscose has the characteristics of cotton and linen, but its functions are inferior to cotton and linen in all aspects.
Viscose filament is also called rayon and is often used to make silk-like products. Viscose short fibers are more common, such as artificial wool. , it is an indispensable material in wool spinning. Artificial wool is widely used. Artificial cotton and artificial wool are all made of viscose fiber.
Advantages of viscose fiber
1. The feel and luster of viscose fiber are good, and its softness is similar to cotton.
2. Good moisture absorption and air permeability are the main characteristics of viscose fiber. Because the chemical composition of viscose is very similar to cotton, all aspects of performance are very close to cotton.
3. Viscose is easy to dye, even easier to dye than fibers such as cotton and linen, which can greatly reduce processing costs and is not easy to fade after dyeing.
Disadvantages of viscose fiber
1. Viscose fiber has poor elasticity and easily leaves wrinkles.
2. Viscose fiber has poor wet fastness. After the clothes are folded, they will leave creases and are difficult to recover.
3. Viscose fiber is easy to shrink, which seriously affects the life of the fabric, and it is easy to pill after washing.
4. Derivatives produced during the viscose production process will pollute the environment.
Key points for washing viscose fiber:
1. Do not soak for a long time when washing, preferably not more than 15 minutes, otherwise it will shrink and deteriorate. .
2. Do not use too much force when washing, as it will cause fluff and cracks.
3. The water temperature should be lower than 35 degrees Celsius, and neutral cleaning fluid should be used.
4. Do not dry in an environment exposed to the sun. The fabric will easily deteriorate and shorten its life.
