KEY BENEFITS.
Gentle On Skin
TENCEL™ Lyocell bers are naturally soft to the touch and offer long-lasting comfort. When viewed under an electron microscope, TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers exhibit a smooth surface area, giving fabrics a soft feel and ensuring comfort for sensitive skin.
Thermal Regulation
TENCEL™ Lyocell bers support body temperature regulating properties through their moisture management. Derived from natural material, the microscopic brils of cellulosic bers are structured to regulate the absorption and release of moisture, contributing to fabric breathability that supports the body’s natural thermal regulation. TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers absorb twice as much moisture as cotton.
Unfavorable for bacterial growth
Through moisture management, TENCEL™ Lyocell bers absorb moisture efficiently, as measured by the Vapor Uptake test and Water Retention Value. In comparison to polyester and synthetics, there is less available moisture formed on the surface of the ber for bacteria to grow. Consequently, TENCEL™ Lyocell bers provide a less favorable environment for bacterial growth, offering better hygienic qualities.
Enhanced breathability
TENCEL™ Lyocell bers support body temperature regulating properties through their moisture management. Derived from natural material, the microscopic brils of cellulosic bers are structured to regulate the absorption and release of moisture, contributing to fabric breathability that supports the body’s natural thermal regulation. The TENCEL™ Lyocell cellulose bers have a higher vapor uptake than cotton.
Botanic Origin
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are derived from sustainable wood sources, harvested from certified and controlled sources following the stringent guidelines of the Lenzing Wood and Pulp Policy.
