The best known artificial fiber is viscose, but there are others.
The particularity of the artificial fiber is that it is obtained from vegetable pulp following a chemical treatment.
Modal, lyocell and viscose are the most present on the market.
To counter the problem of ecology some artificial fibers are obtained through a treatment with recyclable organic solvents.
These fibers are often found mixed with other fibers, whether natural or synthetic, for their low cost and some of their properties such as the shine of viscose.
