Viscose

Viscose is produced from a natural raw material – cellulose obtained from pine, beech and spruce trees. In the initial stage of production, the technological process resembles that observed in paper factories. The wood is finely ground, and the resulting mass is formed into sheets, which are then subjected to further chemical reactions until they become liquid. After centrifugation, the liquid is poured in a thin stream into sulphuric acid, where it solidifies into a thread. Then yarn is created. Finished? Almost. Depending on the weave and a number of other factors, viscose can be given different properties.


CARE

Although viscose is very similar to cotton, it is important to remember that its fibres have lower tensile strength, especially when wet. Therefore, viscose garments can be machine washed at up to 30°C, but with a gentle spin cycle or by hand. Do not stretch the garments when hanging them up or washing them by hand. Iron on the reverse side at a temperature of up to 110°C.


ADVANTAGES OF VISCOSE

Viscose is a hygienic and natural fibre that is kind to the skin. It is airy, "breathes" and absorbs water, so you will not sweat or overheat in it. It is often used as an additive to other fibres - its composition gives softness, lightness, breathability and a delicate feel. Synthetic fibres breathe thanks to the addition of viscose fibres. Viscose fibres are used in the production of fabrics with different weaves, which translates into the production of fabrics with different qualities and feels.
