An hourglass and montage of household products introduce DuPont’s vision of materials that make modern life more livable. The film then explains rayon as a textile fiber rather than merely a fabric, following viscose rayon manufacture from softened cellulose through liquid streams, solid filaments, and yarn. It also highlights rayon’s varied finishes, color effects, and use in tire cords.
