Presentation transcript:

Rayon is a lustrous fibre, so it is often used for formal wear. Rayon may be treated with a delustring finish to reduce the lustre of the fabric. LUSTRE

Rayon has good drapeability. DRAPE

Abrasion resistance is fair and rayon resists pill formation. ABRASION RESISTANCE

Rayon has low to medium strength but the strength reduces by % when wet, causing it to stretch easily STRENGTH

Rayon is highly absorbent, as it is an amorphous fibre. ABSORBENCY

The elongation of rayon is low to moderate. ELONGATION

Rayon is a good conductor of heat and therefore is a cool fibre, suitable for summer clothing. Rayon is highly flammable due to its cellulosic nature THERMAL PROPERTIES

Rayon has poor resiliency, as it is inelastic. RESILIENCY

Rayon has poor dimensional stability. This is evident in hemlines on rayon garments, which will often drop out of shape. DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

Rayon has poor elasticity due to large percentage of amorphous regions. ELASTICITY

Rayon is damaged by acids. Strong alkalis may disintegrate rayon. EFFECT OF CHEMICALS

Rayon is sun resistant. SUN RESISTANCE

Colour fastness is dependent on the dyestuff used to dye the fibre or fabric. COLOUR FASTNESS

Rayon fabric will shrink more than cotton fabrics. SHRINK RESISTANCE

Rayon is damaged by silverfish and mildew. RESISTANCE TO BIOLOGICAL ATTACK
