Rayon Fabric
Rayon is a man-made cellulosic fiber that is made from naturally occurring materials such as wood and agricultural products, which are chemically processed to form the fibers. It was first developed as a substitute for silk, and is known for its drapability and softness, as well as its ability to absorb dye easily. Rayon is used in a wide variety of textile products, including clothing, upholstery, and industrial fabrics.
Drapability: Rayon fabric has a smooth, soft, and flowing quality that makes it ideal for creating clothing that drapes well on the body, such as dresses and skirts.
Absorbency: Rayon is highly absorbent, making it cool and comfortable to wear in warm weather. It can absorb up to 20 times its own weight in moisture.
Luster: Rayon fibers have a natural luster, which can give fabric made from them a subtle sheen.
Versatility: Rayon is versatile, it can be made into a variety of fabrics that mimic the look and feel of natural fibers like cotton, linen, and silk, but at a lower cost.
Comfort: Rayon fabrics are soft, smooth, and cool to the touch, making them comfortable to wear against the skin.
Hypoallergenic: Rayon is hypoallergenic, which means it's less likely to cause an allergic reaction in people with sensitive skin.
Easy care: Rayon fabrics are easy to care for, they are generally machine washable and can be ironed at low heat.
-Economical: Rayon is cheaper than natural fibers and silk, making it an affordable option for many textile products.
It should be mentioned that Rayon, being a cellulosic fiber, is less durable than synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon and more delicate than cotton, linen or wool. It needs gentle care and attention to prevent damage like shrinkage, color fading, and loss of shape.
