Cupra

…It was the dream of chemists to create a fiber similar to silk thread, and in 1882 nitrated rayon was invented. In 1892, viscose rayon was made, and in 1904, industrial production began. Even today, it is produced in large quantities around the world. Cuprammonium rayon is called Cupra or Bemberg (product name). The manufacturing process was invented in 1890, earlier than the viscose method, and it was first industrialized in 1897. Bemberg is a high-quality rayon that looks and feels like natural silk thread, but because of its high production costs, it is produced in much smaller quantities than viscose rayon. …

Thiele invented the stretch spinning method in 1901 that practical threads could be made. …
