What is TENCEL® (Lyocell)?
Tencel is a fiber produced with the lyocell process. The lyocell process dissolves pure wood-derived cellulose and directly reconverts the cellulose solution into fiber form. The auxiliary solvent is highly water soluble and can easily be removed form the fiber. It is environmentally sound, biodegradable and 99% recyclable. Lenzing markets its Lyocell fibers as TENCEL®.
