Study on TENCEL

From wood to fiber.
TENCEL comes from nature and makes use of photosynthesis.
Wood pulp converted into square chips of 1” & dissolve LIGNING & HEMICELLULOSE  from it, only cellulose remains.
The will carry on DRY JET WET spinning.
It get bleached & solvent add to form paste which will force through spinnerates.
The solvent recycled 99% from lyocell.
There is little waste product, this process is relatively eco friendly.  

Ecological production Closed loop processThe unique closed loop process makes TENCEL the fiber of the future since the solvent used is recycled by almost 100% in the closed loop process. This special process received the "European Award for the Environment" from the European Union.

Softer than silk
On the day that the fiber TENCEL was invented, a new chapter was written in the history of fibers. Textiles of TENCEL are more absorbent than cotton, softer than silk and cooler than linen.

  One of the properties of Tencel is its potential to fibrillate. Fibrillation is where the wet fiber, through abrasive action, develops micro-fibrils (or tiny fibers) on its surface (see micro photo, right top).
By manipulating or controlling fibrillation, a variety of different fabric finishes may be achieved. The surface fibers of standard Tencel are fibrillated to produce a luxurious, soft-touch fabric with a peach skin surface. This is the usual recognized quality of the fiber.A more recently developed fiber, Tencel, has a non-fibrillated surface finish. (see photo, right bottom)
      Developed primarily for the knitwear market, has a subtle surface luster, excellent print definition and high tear and burst strength for woven and knitted fabrics. Also enhances laundering performance and shape retention of garments using this fiber.
