What is Cupro?

It is a regenerated fiber made mainly from cotton linter. It is generally used as a lining material.

Cotton linters are the short fibers that grow on cotton seeds and remain after the fibers that become cotton are harvested.

The name cupro comes from the abbreviation for “cupurammonium rayon.

The name comes from the fact that it is manufactured using a copper ammonia solution.

What are the characteristics of Cupro?

The features are as follows.

  • It has an elegant luster similar to silk.
  • High water absorbency.
  • Wrinkle resistance.
  • Less discoloration due to ultraviolet rays.
  • Static electricity is difficult to generate.
  • It expands and contracts a little when it gets wet.
  • High cost (because only a few companies in the world manufacture cupra).

So what is Bemberg?

It is also known by the name “Bemberg,” which comes from the German company Bemberg, which developed the technology for cupro.

Bemberg industrialized and commercialized cupro in 1919.

In Japan, Asahi Kasei introduced the technology in 1928, and started production in 1931.

Today, Asahi Kasei uses this name and is the only manufacturer to produce cupro and sell it worldwide.

In other words, cupro = bemberg.
