DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Rayon is an artificially produced fibre made of cellulose. Rayon is produced by pressing the cellulose product (viscose) through nozzles into an acid bath. These continuous filaments, called rayon, are cut together to the desired size. Due to the relationship between rayon and cotton, the fields of application of the two fabrics are similar.
Rayon is used in cosmetic formulations such as masks and powders. Rayon increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products; reduces the bulk density of cosmetic products.
