Rayon Fabric

Rayon fabric is neither made from natural fiber nor from synthetic. It is made by regenerating natural materials into a usable form. It is economical and can be found in cotton-like end uses or that of sumptuous velvets and taffetas. The fabric absorbs moisture more than cotton and has a good breathable quality. It is soft to skin and is comfortable to wear. It is non-static and never pills.

Rayon was developed in France in the 1890s and was then named as 'artificial silk'. In the year 1924, it was named as 'rayon' and was officially adopted by the textile industry. It is made from wood pulp, which is a naturally-occurring cellulose-based raw material. Hence, the properties of rayon fabric are similar to natural cellulose fibers like cotton or linen.
