Viscose Rayon
Viscose Rayon is a regenerated cellulosic fiber. It is a manmade fiber and it is re-produced from cellulose. Viscose Rayon is also called artificial silk, wood silk, art silk, and many more. Mainly viscose rayon is used as the alternative to natural silk fiber. Day by day the demand for the viscose rayon is increasing rapidly.
Although viscose rayon is a manmade fiber and it is produced by a spinning process. In this spinning process, the pulp is the raw material that is produced from the wood, seed hair, bast, leaf, grasses, and bamboo which contain cellulose.
Process Flow Chart In Viscose Rayon Production:
Viscose Rayon is produced from the materials which are produced naturally but it is converted into viscose rayon by blending the natural materials with some chemical agents. The process sequence of Viscose Rayon is given below:

We know that, a chart can say the full process and it is a short form of explanation. This is the basic structure. I will write about the chemistry of viscose rayon production in one of my blogs, I think that’s will help you to understand the full process.
What is the difference between Viscose spool spinning process and continuous spinning?
If explanations of topics given in flow chat are show, it will be more understandable
