What is TENCEL™ fabric & why is it found in the collections of many leading designers and renowned retailers?
Tencel™, which comes in two types (Tencel™ lyocell and Tencel™ modal fibers), is a premium, incredibly soft, and wrinkle-resistant material manufactured by Lenzig™ Group. This fabric is made from natural wood raw materials that are certified. Consumers are also impressed with Tencel™ because it is biodegradable and compostable (this means that your Tencel™ sheets and shirts can be decomposed without contributing to the mountains of discarded fabrics in landfills).
The Tencel™ production processes for both Tencel™ lyocell and Tencel™ modal fibers have been refined to enhance resource efficiency while mitigating environmental impact. Both fabrics are produced from renewable natural raw wood, with Tencel™ lyocell sourced from eucalyptus wood and Tencel™ modal fibers from beech wood. These fibers are certified to be biodegradable and compostable, and more sustainable and ecologically sound than bamboo fibers. The proposed manufacturing methods exhibit a refined resourceful system that reduces environmental degradation. The production of Tencel™ fabrics provides an ecologically sound and sustainable alternative to traditional materials, while maintaining durability and quality of the finished product.
TENCEL™ – The Two Types: TENCEL™ Lyocell & TENCEL™ Modal Fibers
Tencel™ modal fibers are a game-changer in the textile industry, offering superior softness. These fibers are highly flexible and can blend seamlessly with other fibers to enhance any textile. This makes Tencel™ modal fibers the perfect choice for comfortable and long-lasting loungewear and intimate apparel. Not only are they comfortable, but their durability ensures that they retain their softness throughout the years. With Tencel™ modal, you can feel confident that you are investing in quality garments that prioritize both your comfort and style.
Tencel™ lyocell’s popularity has been on the rise as an alternative to silk fabrics, and due to the many benefits they offer. Tencel™ lyocell differentiates itself from its modal fibers counterpart as being more durable/stronger. This is because it is the newest generation of fibers manufactured by Lenzing™ AG – they are produced with the latest and most advanced technologies, such as REFIBRA™, to improve the sustainability of the material.
Tencel™ lyocell has moisture-wicking properties that can quickly dry out excess moisture and keep the fabric fresh and release heat while doing so. What this means is that your Tencel™ lyocell bed sheets would ensure that you remain cool when you sleep, and preventing the build up of sweat on your body when you sleep.
