Lesson 08 : Rayon

Production of Rayon

The production of rayon basically is converting the cellulosic raw materials chemically into another form, which is then changed into cellulose again in purified form. Two principle types of rayon produced are:

• Cuprammonium
• Viscose rayon

High wet modulus rayon is also produced whenever more wet strength is required.
