Viscose (Viscosa)
Definition
What is viscose?
A semi-synthetic fiber made from regenerated cellulose, derived from wood pulp or bamboo. Viscose is also known as rayon in the United States. In Spanish-speaking markets, the fabric is commonly referred to as 'tela viscosa.' Viscose drapes well, absorbs moisture, and has a soft, silky hand feel. DTF transfers can be applied to viscose and viscose-blend garments at lower temperatures (275–290°F) with lighter pressure to avoid damaging the delicate fibers.
