Show eliminate elasticity through improved process an improved process for the finishing of viscose rayon fabrics which is expected further to stimulate the steady expansion of the use of rayon in the apparel field has been developed the new development which involves the control of elasticity in rayon much in the same mariner manner as izing controls the shrinkage of cotton textiles will be made available to rayon finishers soon the elimination of extreme elasticity in rayon is based on a chemical formula and application of the process to the finishing of viscose fabrics does not require additional machinery this feature and the fact that both rayon finishers and consumers have desired some development which would eliminate both the shrinking and stretching characteristics acte of rayon apparel likely will result in a substantial demand for the process while it is generally recognized that izing as applied to cotton is still on the upgrade the increasing tendency to substitute rayon for cotton was beginning to have a retarding effect it is estimated that upwards of two thirds of the cotton mills employing the izing process have in recent years substituted in varying proportion of capacity the weaving of rayon for cotton |
