Viscose is a regenerated cellulose fibre — often referred to as artificial silk — derived from beech wood pulp. Like cotton, it is cellulose-based in composition, and this structural similarity gives viscose many of the same characteristics: softness, breathability, and excellent moisture absorption.
During production, cellulose is converted into a fluid form with minimal alteration to its molecular structure, then extruded into filaments that are chemically identical to the original cellulose. The result is a high-quality, versatile textile raw material with a distinctive lustre — commonly used in fabrics where a refined, silky appearance is desired.
