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.

TENCEL® - elegant sheen and soft hand
Skin sensory perception
The smooth surface of TENCEL® in combination with high moisture absorbency
gives reduced irritation potential and enhanced properties for sensitive skin.

- Washable
compared to leather
- Higher wet tenacity, higher fiber stiffness
compared to viscose
- Not felting
compared to wool
- Shrinkage (dimension stability)
better shrinkage values compared to all cellulosic fibers

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
