Believe it or not rayon is one of the
oldest man-made fibres; it's production began in France in 1880s as
an alternative to silk. The ability to mass produce cheap fabric made
rayon a household name and its still used to day as a cheap
substitute for silk and cotton. Technically speaking ray isn't a
man-made fibre as it derives from naturally occurring cellulose, but
since cellulose requires numerous production techniques to make rayon
it's classified as a man-made fibre.
This soft fluid fabric is typically
used in the clothing industry, however, as it's a substitute for silk
and cotton it can also be used to make soft furnishings, including
curtain lining or as an alternative other soft furnishing that can be
made using silk or cotton.
