Talk:Viscose

Is it truly becoming less common because it's polluting? I consider myself to be a concious shopper, and I never knew rayon to be polluting so I can't imagine the average shopper knowing this and choosing other fabrics because of it.

viscose translate to used for cheap clothing. The women's catalogues in particular are full of viscose products. Perhaps the preparation is now less polluting? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.124.16.33 (talk) 12:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The article suggests that the phasing out is due to compliance costs,

not consumer pressure; event the version you are commenting on. --Belg4mit (talk) 05:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Viscose is a soft, stretchy, non-iron and light material, it is ideal for tight shirts :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.177.218.34 (talk) 13:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Dope?

Sorry, but in the article, it is stated that dope is added to viscose during its creation. I am uncertain as to what this means in the context. If it actually makes sense in the context, could someone explain what 'dope' is in this case to me? And if it is not supposed to be there, could someone fix it? Thank you, -Liwolf1 (talk) 00:19, 29 August 2010 (UTC) The writer is saying that cellulose acetate in acetone is added to viscose to reduce the lustre and make a matt rayon. That might be so in some products, Courtaulds would use TiO2.Peterrivington (talk) 18:53, 1 August 2011 (UTC)}
