Improving product quality thanks to technology innovation

Courtaulds is a famous textile chemical company in the world with an annual turnover of more than 2 billion pounds, providing jobs for 17,000 people in 45 countries around the world. Courtaulds grew out of a small English silk weaving business in 1816 and became famous in the early 20th century after taking a pioneering step in the production of semi-synthetic viscose fibers. This man-made fiber is still playing an important role in the textile industry.

TENCEL is the brand name of Courtaulds for a synthetic fiber derived from plants, produced through a revolutionary technology: the cellulose technology. Courtaulds has undergone a long period of continuous improvement in the manufacturing process, while researching and developing a system that converts natural cellulose (woodpulp) into woven fibers with distinctive properties and properties that suit a wide variety of products.

The cellulose technology line begins with the selection of materials. Tencel fabric is made from cotton fibers extracted from natural trees of the Kim family such as eucalyptus, bamboo, and has a spongy stem with cenllulo fibers, especially from Khuynh Diep. The raw materials are pulverized and then spun according to Nano technology, also known as environmental technology, so it is very safe and user-friendly.

The outstanding features of TENCEL fabrics are highly degradable in the soil, do not cause environmental pollution, the amino oxide solvents used in the production process are completely harmless to humans or reusable. many times.

In fact, TENCEL fabric has the structure and properties of cotton, but has the added advantages such as no shrinkage, no wrinkles after use, especially very good air permeability, and no dust. fabric is like cotton. Tencel is less elastic and has high abrasion which is very suitable for use in manufacturing high quality bedding products.

Drinking Tencel fabrics from completely natural materials is very benign and does not cause allergy to all skin. It features a particularly good humidity management which reduces the growth of bacteria and other agents that cause discomfort for the user. Some experiments showed that bacterial growth on TENCEL fabrics was very small and significantly reduced compared to other conventional fabrics. In synthetic fibers the number of bacteria present increased more than 2 thousand times compared to tencel fabrics.

In the TENCEL fabric process, the closed specialty wire allows Courtaulds to continuously recycle organic solvents and to minimize the amount of hazardous waste. Courtaulds technology has been recognized and awarded the European Eco-tex certificate for developing environmentally friendly technologies.

Through product research and development, Courtaulds has successfully built a new brand with high competition in the global market. Courtaulds contributions motivate manufacturers to continually improve their products, not only for the economic benefit but also towards creating more environmentally friendly products.
