Rayon is a major feedstock in the manufacture of carbon fibre. Grasim of India is the major producer of rayon in the world which is claiming 24% market share.


Modal and Tencel fibres are generally used varieties of rayon which is produced by Lenzing AG, based in northern Austria. Lyocell is the common name for Tencel which is made by a little various solvent revival procedures, and is well thought-out a different fiber by the United States FTC.

Nylon is a synthetically-produced fabric. It was first developed as a substitute for imported silk. Women's stockings were the first commercial use of nylon. Because it has strong fibers that are also stretchy, nylon is used to make many different things including clothing, upholstery and carpet, rope, tents and fishing line.

Polyester fibres are extremely strong, durable and resistant to most chemicals. They do not stretch, shrink and are resistant to wrinkles, mildew and abrasion. Polyester is quick drying and always retains its shape
