mauve cotton fabric

According to an article by Joe Schwarcz, PhD, published by McGill University’s Office for Science and Society, rayon is the first synthetic fiber. Until the late 19th century, you must be moneyed to enjoy the luxury of silk. After all, 5000 silkworm cocoons are needed to produce a kilo of the fiber, not to mention the labor-intensive process that went into harvesting, extracting, and spinning them. All that made silk very expensive.

There are mainly three types of rayon that vary in the manufacturing process, fiber properties, and applications.

For example, various forms of production methods are combined to treat flame-retardant fiber fabrics with waterproof and oil-repellent treatments; flame-retardant fiber yarns are interwoven with conductive fibers to produce antistatic flame-retardant fibers; flame-retardant fibers and high-performance fibers are used Blended and interwoven to produce high-temperature-resistant fabrics; flame-retardant fibers are blended with fibers such as cotton, viscose, etc. to improve the comfort of the final product and reduce costs.
