Lyocell fiber, commonly known as Tencel, is made of natural plant fiber, which came out in the mid-1990s, and is regarded as the most valuable product in the history of man-made fiber for nearly half a century. With many excellent properties of natural fiber and synthetic fiber, Lyocell is a green fiber, and its raw material is inexhaustible cellulose in nature. There is no chemical reaction in the production process, and the solvent used is nontoxic.
Lyocell fiber is a brand-new textile and clothing fabric, which rose in Europe and America in the middle and late 1990s. It not only has the characteristics of comfort, good moisture absorption and permeability, good hand feeling and easy dyeing of natural fiber cotton, but also has the advantages of environmental protection that traditional viscose fiber does not have. Viscose fiber will release harmful gases such as carbon disulfide and hydrogen sulfide in the production process, which will pollute the environment, so it has been gradually eliminated in developed countries. "Lyocell" fiber is made of pulp formed by mashing renewable bamboo and wood, etc. The advanced technology makes its solvent recovery rate as high as 99.7%, which is not only energy-saving, environmentally friendly, but also sustainable. Clothes made of this fiber not only have natural luster, smooth hand feel, high strength and no shrinkage, but also have good moisture permeability and air permeability, and the fabric blended with wool has good effect.
