Subject field(s)
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

A yarn or fabric spun from rayon staple.

OBS

Long continuous filaments of acetate or rayon will produce fabrics which may have smooth or crepe-effect surfaces. Either filament can be adapted for other effects by cutting it into short uniform lengths from 1/2 to 9 inches. These lengths are spun into yarns ... According to the amount of twist inserted in the spinning process, this spun yarn can be made stronger, less lustrous, and adaptable to napping and other finishes, thus producing fabrics that resemble wool, linen, or cotton. Such short-staple stock can also be combined with any of the natural fibers ...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
DEF

Fibres discontinues à base de cellulose régénérée obtenues industriellement.

CONT

La matière textile se présente soit sous forme de filaments continus (rayonne [en France : viscose]), soit sous forme de fibres coupées ou craquées à partir des filaments continus (fibranne).

OBS

Ces fibres ont une excellente résistance à l'usure et à la lumière et se teignent très facilement. De plus, elles déplaisent aux mites. Elles permettent de fabriquer des étoffes très variées, allant de la soierie au style rustique.

OBS

Nom légal, en France, depuis 1941, de toutes les matières textiles artificielles constituées par des fibres courtes. Les fibrannes ne sont pas fabriquées directement à la filière, mais sont filées avec des fibres obtenues par coupure de fils sortant de la filière : [...] la fibranne ne doit pas être confondue avec la rayonne, produite directement à la filière [...].
