Tencel Lyocell: A new step in textile technology

Tencel is the brand name of Courtaulds for a synthetic fiber derived from plants, produced through a revolutionary technology: cellulose technology. Courtaulds has undergone a long period of continuous refinement of the manufacturing process, and at the same time researched and developed a system to convert natural cellulose (woodpulp) into textile fibers with specific properties and properties suitable for many skin types.

Cellulose technology line starts from selecting materials. Tencel fabric is made from cotton fibers extracted from natural timber trees of the Kim family such as eucalyptus, bamboo, styrofoam with many cenllulo fibers, especially from Khuynh Diep tree. Raw materials are pulverized and then spinning with Nano technology, also known as environmental technology, so it is safe and user friendly.

In fact, Tencel fabric has almost the same texture and characteristics as cotton, but has the added advantage of not shrinking and wrinkling after washing, especially very good air permeability, and no dust. The fabric is like cotton thread. Tencel has low elasticity and high abrasion, which is suitable to use for producing high-class bedding. The outstanding feature of Tencel fabric is good decomposition in soil, does not pollute the environment, the amino oxide solvents used in the production process are completely harmless to humans or can be reused. many times.

Tencel fiber is made from completely natural materials so it is benign and hypoallergenic for every skin. With good moisture management features, it reduces the growth of bacteria and other irritating agents. A number of experiments have shown that bacterial growth on Tencel fabric is very small and significantly reduced compared to other conventional fabrics. In the synthetic fiber the number of bacteria present increased by more than 2 thousand times compared to Tencel fabric.

In the Tencel fabric process, the closed specialized line allows Courtaulds to continuously recycle organic solvents and minimize the amount of hazardous waste. Courtaulds technology has been recognized and awarded Eco-tex in Europe for the development of eco-friendly technology. Through product research and development, Courtaulds has successfully built a new brand with high competition in the global market. The Courtaulds contribution has motivated manufacturers to constantly improve their products, not only for economic benefits, but also towards creating more environmentally friendly products.
