What fabric is Tencel
Tencel is a cellulose fiber, mainly coniferous wood pulp, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to manage.
Tencel belongs to a kind of cellulose fiber, which is generally made by volume spinning technology. The raw material of Tencel is coniferous wood pulp, and in the process of spinning, it will not produce any derivatives and chemical effects, and it is a safe and environmentally friendly fabric. Tencel fabric can be said to be a combination of the advantages of a variety of fabrics, it has, cotton comfort, polyester tenacity and strength of silk soft drop feeling.
Tencel is made of lessel fiber, which is extracted from natural plant fiber.

The moisture absorption ability of cotton is poor.
What material is Tencel
Tencel is a new kind of viscose fiber, also known as Lyocell viscose fiber, whose trade name is Tencel. Tencel is made by solvent spinning technology, because the amine oxide solvent used in the production is completely harmless to human body, almost completely recyclable, reusable, no by-products. Tencel fiber can completely decompose in the soil, which is environmentally friendly and harmless to the environment.
The main characteristics of Tencel are:
1. It has excellent hygroscopicity of viscose fiber, and overcomes the defect of low strength of ordinary viscose fiber, especially low wet strength. Its strength is almost similar to that of polyester fiber. Its wet strength is higher than that of cotton fiber, and its wet modulus is higher than that of cotton fiber.
2. Good washing dimensional stability and small washing shrinkage.
3. The fabric is glossy and comfortable.
4. It has a unique touch like silk, and is elegant and draped well.
5. Good air and moisture permeability.
Tencel fabric has silk like feel and elegant luster, with good moisture absorption of viscose fiber, and high strength like synthetic fiber is the best clothing fabric.
