EXPERIENCE TENCEL®

Motivated by the belief that fiber production and ecological responsibility could go hand in hand, researchers spent over a decade perfecting and innovative fiber that set a new benchmark for fashion and function-TENCEL. The introduction of TENCEL in 1992 changed the very definition of cellulosic fibers. Soft but strong, naturally comfortable but technologically advanced, high-performance but ecologically sound, TENCEL offers a unique combination of the most desirable properties of both man-made and natural fibers.

But TENCEL is more than just a fiber. It is a global organization with a vast knowledge base and extensive resources-an organization dedicated to the development of TENCEL fiber applications and performance, as well as to environmentally sound manufacturing processes. Backed by experienced research and marketing teams committed to leveraging the fiber’s extraordinary distinctiveness into new market opportunities, TENCEL leads the new generation of fashion fabrics that perform.

Never before have nature and technology worked in such perfect harmony to create a textile product that anticipates and exceeds the challenges of demanding modern lifestyles. TENCEL - a revolution in fiber aesthetics, performance and marketing.

What is TENCEL® ?

TENCEL® is the first new fiber in forty years. It is the answer for modern consumers who want the comfort and luxury of a natural fiber with the practicality of a man-made fiber.

TENCEL® is produced via a highly refined and sophisticated technical process. This fiber is twisted or spun into yarns, which are woven or knitted into fabrics and garments. Whether in 100% or in blends with other fibers, it allows you to create fabrics that are desirable, of high quality and truly perform.

TENCEL® is increasingly used in nonwoven products.

There are currently two types of branded TENCEL® lyocell:

  • Standard fibrillating TENCEL
  • TENCEL A100 (a non-fibrillating variant)

Together they have the potential for a broad range of products for every fashion textile application.

STANDARD TENCEL

 

Fibrillation is unique to standard TENCEL. It creates TENCEL's special, luxurious hand. Manipulating or controlling fibrillation produces a wide variety of aesthetics, from a soft, suede-like or peach-touch surface to one that's clean, smooth and silky. Primary applications are garment-processed denim, shirting and piece-dyed and yarn-dyed fabrics for tailored apparel and soft separates.


TENCEL A100

 

TENCEL A100 is a non-fibrillating variant of TENCEL. Its aesthetic is different from standard TENCEL's, but it has the same, unparalleled performance. What makes TENCEL A100 special is its high affinity for dyes. TENCEL A100 is a canvas for vibrant colors, in solid fabrics and prints, particularly a perfect black that stays true wash after wash. Plus, its processing produces less effluent, uses less dyestuff and is more cost-effective. Primary applications are cut-and-sew knits for tops, activewear and intimate apparel, as well as knitwear and wovens for shirting, sportswear and home furnishings textiles.

MORE PERFORMANCE

Soft but strong, TENCEL® proves that aesthetics need not be sacrificed for durability and performance, Its durability exceeds that of most natural or man-made fibers, which translates into quality yarns and fabrics and clothes that resist wear and tear .And its cellulosic base allows for the breathability nature intended. TENCEL is the first man-made cellulosic fiber stronger than cotton. Dry or wet, and that approaches the dry strength of polyester. TENCLE’s strength in denim is as rugged as all cottons that weigh considerably more. TENCEL’s enhanced strength. Sophisticated handle and relaxed. washed appearance make it the ideal fiber for today’s contemporary casual lifestyle. Even the lightest weight TENCEL fabrics, such as voile and gauze, offer exceptional performance.

Travel-ready. Many TENCEL garments are good for travel-unpacked clothes quickly shed wrinkles, and washed clothes dry rapidly.

Comfortable stretch. TENCEL’s unique structural differences enable high levels of comfort stretch to be engineered into TENCEL® Natural Stretch fabrics. TENCEL Natural Stretch not only has better memory and stronger recovery than other cellulosics,but also meets the wash test standards developed for elastane-containing fabrics and can be made from blends with nylon, polyester and some other cellulosic fibers.

Options, TENCEL fiber readily hosts a variety of functional. topical finishes for home and apparel textile markets with critical performance requirements. Compared to other cellulosic fibers, TENCEL needs smaller amounts of these finishes to achieve equally effective results. Value-added options like water-repellent and stain-resistant agents readily take to TENCEL Standard resin finishes allow TENCEL fabrics to hold long-lasting pleats or trouser leg creases. Anti-allergens and anti-microbials open TENCEL to a variety of home textile uses including bedding. mattress ticking and towels.

 MORE ECOLOGICAL    

After fourteen years of  extensive research, TENCEL® was developed using a breakthrough ecologically responsible production process, establishing TENCEL as the world leader in cellulose fiber technology. TENCEL's fiber production has far less impact on the environment than cotton, modal, polynosic or viscose. TENCEL A100's fabric processing requires less dyestuff and produces less effluent. TENCEL  fiber is naturally breathable, absorbent and biodegradable.

TENCEL® is a man-made cellulosic fiber derived from wood pulp , natural and renewble resource that is harvested from managed, self-sustaining forests. Unklike most cotton farming, puip forestry requires limited use of pesticides and herbicide .And the trees used for pulp yield about seven times more cellulose per hectare than cotton. TENCEL's pulp suppliers exercise responsible forest stewardship and are accredited by associations such us the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).

The synergy between nature and technology is most impressive in TENCEL's "closed loop," solvent spinning manufacturing process. A nontoxic solvent, amine oxide, dissolves that is filtered and then extruded and waste is negligible---more than 99.9% of the solvent is recycled. Inherently a much cleaner process than viscose manufacture, TENCEL production significantly reduces emissions and consumes less energy. TENCEL produces its fiber to meet the strict conditions laid down by the ISO14001 environmental management standard.

TENCEL® is produced via an advanced 'closed loop' solvent spinning process, with minimal impact on the environment and economical use of energy and water. It uses a non-toxic solvent which is continually recycled.

Furthermore, TENCEL's success in meeting contaminant level restrictions prompted the International Association for Researching and Testing in the field of Textile Technology to certify. TENCEL® to use  the prestigious Oeko-Tex, Confidence in Textiles label. Only manufacturers who comply whit strict testing and meet stringent standards are allowed to place the Oeko-Tex label on their products.

MORE COMFORT

TENCEL®  means comfort--relaxed but sophisticated. It has the breathability and absorbency of a natural fiber, the durability and easy-care performance of a man-made, and a smoothness, resilience and drape unique to TENCEL. From fluid knits to supple, tailored wovens, TENCEL can dress customers for any occasion with ease. It is the very signature of today's lifestyle focus for contemporary men's women's and home fashions.

MORE SOFTNESS

TENCEL is acclaimed for its luxurious softness.No need to break in a new pair of TENCEL jeans or chinos. The fiber's innate structure produces a sensual, suede-like, peach touch. TENCEL is also a perfect partner for blending with other natural and man-made fibers. Its soft natural character enhances their feel, improves their performance and expands their end uses.

MORE COLOR

As an enhanced cellulosic fiber, TENCEL has a special ability to bring true, brilliant, long-lasting color to apparel and home textile. TENCEL A100's great affinity for dyes means superb vibrancy and depth of color and textiles that look new after repeated washings. And no other cellulosic fiber can achieve TENCEL A100's perfect, permanent black, wash after wash.

MORE EASY-CARE

TENCEL does not require any special handling because it retains it shape, color and appearance, wash after wash, with minimal shrinkage. This means effortless, easy care. TENCEL can be machine-washed and dried or dry cleaned depending on garment care instructions.

MORE VERSATILITY

TENCEL's relaxed luxury originates in nature but it is technologically engineered. This permits a multitude of attitudes and appearance-from silky, fluid knits to rugged denims; from slinky eveningwear to moern tailorings.

TENCEL has a unique ability to enhance other fibers without overpowering them. A helpful companion to any fiber, TENCEL is an essential ingredient for seasonless, multifiber blends, improving their overall performance.

  • With cotton: TENCEL softens, adds strength and increases performance.
  • With linen: TENCEL reduces creasing and increases softness and strength with out detracting from linen's own character.
  • With wool: TENCEL preserves the wool aesthetic while contributing washability, softness and subtle luster.
  • With polyester or Nylon: TENCEL lends a more natural hand, increasing comfort and breathability without diminishing performance.
  • With stretch fibers: TENCEL augments the feeling of comfort and ease.
  • With silk and cashmere: TENCEL affords an even more luxurious hand and improves performance.
