Viskoosid

Viskoosid is a term often used in the context of viscose rayon, a regenerated cellulose fiber. Viscose itself is a viscous liquid that is extruded through a spinneret into a chemical bath to form cellulose filaments. This process is the basis for creating rayon, a versatile textile material. Viscose rayon is known for its softness, absorbency, and ability to drape well, making it a popular choice for clothing, home furnishings, and various industrial applications. It is derived from natural sources, typically wood pulp, but undergoes significant chemical processing to be transformed into a usable fiber. The production of viscose involves dissolving cellulose in a chemical solution, often using carbon disulfide, and then regenerating it into a solid form. While the source material is renewable, the chemical processes involved can have environmental implications, leading to ongoing research and development in more sustainable production methods. The term "viskoosid" might also be encountered in less common contexts, but its primary association remains with the production of viscose rayon.
