Rayon is a semi-synthetic material. It is made from natural fiber, but they are chemically treated to turn them into usable material. The natural fibers are extracted from wood pulp and are also known as viscose fibers. This is why in some places, Rayon is known as viscose.
The production of rayon is more economical than that of natural fibers like silk and cotton. This affordability benefits manufacturers and consumers alike, making high-quality, luxurious-looking products accessible at a fraction of the cost.
