Types of Rayon

 Types of Rayon:

Based on the method of manufacture, at 

present there are two principal types of 

rayon. 

1. Rayon or Viscose

2. High Wet Modulus Rayon (regener-

ated rayon)

In High Wet Modulus Rayon (HWM), the 

original material (cellulose) is changed 

chemically into another form, which is then 

changed or regenerated into cellulose again. 

These changes produce the final product 

that is purified cellulose in the fibre form.
