All about TENCEL™ Intimate cellulosic fibers
Discover the unique properties of the TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers used in our TENCEL™ Intimate collection.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres are made from wood, a natural and renewable raw material carefully sourced from responsibly managed forests.
The wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates, to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource.
TENCEL™ Lyocell is known for its innovative closed loop production process. Wood pulp is transformed into cellulosic fibres, while more than 99.8% of the solvent are recovered and fed back into the loop, resulting in close-to-zero wastage.
According to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index, TENCEL™ Lyocell has a significantly lower environmental impact than generic lyocell in the categories of abiotic depletion of fossil fuels (up to 39%), global warming (up to 53%), water consumption (up to 69%) and eutrophication (up to 60%).
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres are certified for biodegradability and compostability in various environments.
In combination with compatible blending partners, dyes and finishes, TENCEL™ fibres contribute to the biodegradability of textile products.
Under a microscope, TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres exhibit a smooth surface, which give fabrics a pleasant softness. Additionally, the soft fibres bring fluidity to fabrics to make them drape beautifully.
Published studies using the Tactile Sensation Analyzer (TSA) and Fabric Touch Tester (FTT) as measuring devices have confirmed the softness of fabrics made of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres.
The structure of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres allows the absorption and release of moisture.
In the final textile product, these effective moisture controlling properties support a drier microclimate on the skin, increasing the wearer’s thermal comfort.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres absorb sweat efficiently, resulting in reduced moisture on the fibre surface.
This creates a less favorable environment for the growth of odour-causing bacteria.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres are certified with the widely recognized EU Ecolabel. This label is awarded to products meeting high environmental standards throughout their entire life cycle.
Key criteria for evaluation include production processes limiting the usage of substances harmful to human health or the environment, and minimizing key environmental impacts.
