Renewable Raw Material Wood

The raw material for Lenzing fibers is dissolving wood pulp from beech wood,

spruce, eucalyptus and several other types of wood

Dissolving wood pulp has specific requirements compared to paper pulp

2 % to 3 % of industrial pulp produced worldwide is used by the fiber industry

20

Wood as raw material and fuel for integrated fiber production

Wood is a sustainable resource, naturally absorbent, fully biodegradable

More than 50% of wood utilized with superior recovery of energy and by-products1)

Physiological attributes of TENCEL®

Raw material from nature

TENCEL® is made from wood and is 100% bio degradable. The fiber is therefore an alternative to polyamide, polyester, cotton and wool.

TENCEL® comes from nature and returns to nature.

Skin sensory perception

The smooth surface of TENCEL® in combination with high moisture absorbency

gives reduced irritation potential and enhanced properties for sensitive skin.

Advantages/characteristics

TENCEL® Sheen silky sheen/luster

Color brightness brilliant colors, higher uptake of dyestuff

Haptics (surface feel) silky, drapy, and dry touch

Abrasion blends to be preferred (in particular nylon)

Care ok, for special requirements water-, oil- and soil-repellent finishing (e.g. FC)

Washability ok, for special requirements TENCEL® A100 or TENCEL® LF

Sustainability

raw material based on raw material wood

resources sustainable wood, natural cellulose cycle

water

consumption

no artificial watering / no irrigation, low water usage during manufacturing

process

Moisture absorption high water uptake into the fiber

Antistatic natural antistatic performance, because of high moisture uptake

Hygiene reduces bacterial growth in a natural way, without any chemical additives

Skin friendliness smooth fiber surface, no skin irritation

Seating comfort no sweating, because of natural moisture management,

seating climate regulation (no sweating)

Dying & finishing easy to dye and print with dyestuffs/substances, suited for cellulosic

materials

TENCEL-CARPETS & RUGS

TENCEL® fibers for carpet application were developed up to 6,7dtex and 100mm

Woolen and semi worsted coarse yarn spinning is possible in blends with wool and synthetic fibers

First tufted carpet prototypes in cut and loop pile are suitable in domestic living areas

TENCEL® can provide positive effects in carpets enhanced room climate and hygiene inherently anti allergic, antistatic and moth proof sustainable, based on raw material wood produced by an ecological process

TENCEL® offers a new range of ecological friendly carpets

Moth protection without chemistry. Protein based fibers have to be protected

against varmints with chemicals like Permethrin. Moths are prevented in a

natural way
