Cellulose Collection

To keep up with modern living trends, users increasingly fancy environmentally friendly and healthy products. Ignoring synthetic or artificial fabrics, organic fabrics are being used more popular in the textile industry.

Prominent among organic yarns, we cannot exclude TENCEL yarn, the main material used to make clothes and bedding for famous brands like Everon, Hanvico… So what is TENCEL yarn? What advantages does this yarn have over others?

Introduction about TENCEL yarn

TENCEL yarn, an exclusive Lyocell yarn produced by Lenzing AG company, originates from eucalyptus wood pulp boasting high cellulose content. Employing nanotechnology, this wood pulp is meticulously spun into TENCEL yarns, known for their eco-friendliness and safety for human health.

These versatile TENCEL yarns find applications across various sectors, from casual clothing to underwear and sportswear. Their eco-credentials have made them a hit with environmentally-conscious consumers. The production of finished products using TENCEL yarn conserves energy and water resources more effectively than conventional cotton. Notably, the dyeing process requires less dye than standard cotton, and, importantly, avoids the need for bleaching.

Moreover, Lenzing’s TENCEL yarn is sourced from eucalyptus wood, considered sustainable according to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and holding The Forest Standard Certification (Program for Endorsement of Forest Certification – PEFC).

The basic TENCEL yarn production process includes the following steps

Material  – Eucalyptus wood is crushed and extracted for the cellulose.

Preparation – Cellulose is dissolved with water and organic solvent NMMO to form a viscous solution preparing for the TENCEL spinning process.

Creating fibers – The cellulose solution will be extruded through a spinneret to form continuous fibers, through a coagulation tank, and cleaned to remove excess chemicals on the fiber surface.  

Spinning – TENCEL fibers are cut into long filaments or short staple fibers in order to mix with other fibers such as cotton for further combing and spinning. 

TENCEL fibers manufacturing process is known as closed-loop system, up to 97% of the organic compound NMMO can be reused for subsequent dissolution processes. Therefore, TENCEL yarn is evaluated as a biological yarn, an environmentally friendly product.

Outstanding advantages of TENCEL yarn

TENCEL yarn is widely used in the textile industry, bringing fabric products with many highlights such as:

1. Breathability, good sweat absorption, doesn’t cause suffocation, no odor thanks to effective deodorizing biological agents.

2. High durability, good wear-and-tear resistance.

3. Less wrinkles, better shape retention, and easy to restore to original state even after working out. 

4. TENCEL fabric has high durability, does not shrink during washing and home laundry. 

5. TENCEL fabric can be woven to create a shiny and smooth surface like silk.

TENCEL yarn is a versatile choice and convenience for a variety of finished products such as towels, bedsheets, t-shirts, sportswear, t-shirts, and other high-end fashion products.
