Tencel Fabric - you feel the softness that the super smooth Tencel fibres bring to Tencel blended fabrics. Not only that, but the Tencel brings a lustre that sets our Eco Fabric range apart from mass market.
Eco friendly, renewable and biodegradeable, Tencel (Lyocell) is a modern fibre based on a natural product. Tencel is extracted from wood pulp, taken from tree farms that practice sustainability. It was awarded the European quality seal PEFC and the international FSC. Tencel’s fibre structure is extremely smooth giving fabrics a soft silkiness whilst its inherent strength adds durability.
TENCEL® heralds the beginning of a new age in fiber technology.
Completely natural, TENCEL® is Lenzing Fibers’ brand name for lyocell.
A major break-through was made with the development of the unique
nanofibril structure of this fiber. TENCEL®, made from wood pulp
cellulose, offers a unique combination of the most desirable properties
of man made and natural fibers: soft as silk, strong as polyester, cool
as linen, warm as wool and as absorbent as cotton. Quite simply a
“break-through” fiber.
Tencel

The wood used comes from tree farms that practice sustainability. Completely natural, a major breakthrough was made with the development of the unique nanofibril structure of this fiber.

* The Feel Good Fabric - the number of people with sensitive skin is constantly increasing. Tencel is the perfect fiber for sensitive skin because the smooth and supple fiber surface provides maximum comfort to the skin.
* The Moisture Manager - Perfect moisture
management is particularly important for the subjective well-being of the skin. The skin being the largest human respiratory organ, it acts as a protective shell, regulating body temperature and maintaining water balance. Tencel supports these functions like a second skin.
* The production of the Tencel fiber is revolutionary. It represents one of the greatest achievements in cellulose fiber technology, in that the solvent that is used to process it, is recycled and recovered up to 99.5%. The emissions which remain are decomposed in adapted biological purification plants. The manufacturing process was awarded the “European Award for the Environment”
by the European Union.
