Tencel is a new type of fabric. Many people don't know much about it. What is silk that day? Does it have anything to do with silk? What are the advantages and disadvantages of Tencel? Interested friends, let's get to know with Xiaobian.
What fabric is Tencel
Tencel was originally produced by acocdis, a British company. It was originally just a brand name. In fact, Tencel is made from wood pulp by solvent spinning. It not only has the comfort of cotton, but also has the unique luxury beauty of wool fabric.
Tianshi has a special touch like silk, so it is loved by people. Tencel fabric can ensure certain flexibility, even greater strength than other fiber fabrics, whether it is dry or wet.
Note: Tiansi is neither silk nor silk. There is no great relationship between them.
Advantages of Tencel
Tencel has cotton's' comfort, polyester's' strength ', wool's' luxury beauty' and silk's' unique touch 'and' soft drape '. It has good toughness no matter in dry or wet state. In the wet state, it is the first cellulose fiber whose wet strength is much better than that of cotton. And it is pure natural materials, coupled with the environmental protection manufacturing process, the product is more natural and environmental protection, more to meet the needs of modern consumers.
I believe that some people have heard some information about Tencel on the Internet, so there are some questions, what kind of fabric is Tencel? What is the relationship between Tencel and silk?
Disadvantages of Tencel fabric
The cross section of the Tencel fiber is relatively uniform, and the combination between the fibrils is weak and there is no elasticity. If there is some mechanical friction, the outer layer of the fiber will break, forming a Tricholoma with a length of about 1-4 microns, which is more likely to be produced in a humid environment, and even entangled into cotton particles when it is serious. And in the hot and humid environment, the Tencel fabric will be hard, which is a serious disadvantage. Another point is that the price of Tencel fabric is more expensive than that of ordinary cotton fabric, but cheaper than that of silk fabric.
How to distinguish the true and the false of Tencel fabric
Judging by touch
If you want to buy real Tencel fabric, first of all, you can distinguish it from its touch. Tencel fabric will have the touch of silk, with soft drape, smooth and elegant. Generally, the high-quality Tencel feel is also very smooth.
Combustion method
When the real Tencel burns, it will burn like cotton fiber, and the ash will also smell like burning paper. The burnt ash will become powder as soon as it is pinched. Now there are more and more fibers. The most effective way is to distinguish them by burning.
In terms of stability
Generally, Tencel has good dimensional stability after washing. The shrinkage after washing with water is very low, and the shrinkage is within 3%. So after washing, you don't need to worry about the deformation of Tencel material.
