Viscose is a type of RAYON, a synthetic fabric made from cellulose. It is a semi-synthetic material, meaning it is made from natural sources but is processed and altered to create a new material. Viscose is known for its softness, drape, and absorbency, making it a popular choice for clothing and other textiles. It is also used in the production of carpets, upholstery, and other home furnishings.
