Basics of Tencel:
Tencel is a cellulosic fiber deriving from Forest Stewardship Council approved wood pulp to define a new standard of sustainable textiles. Tencel fibers are known for their natural comfort, luxuriously soft handfeel, and environmentally responsible closed loop production process which recovers 99% of its use of solvent and water.
Benefits of Tencel:
-
Eco Print
Made from the natural cellulose found in wood pulp. The fiber is economical in its use of energy and natural resources and is fully biodegradable. -
Color Rich
Tencel was created with color in mind, because of the fibers’ high absorbency. The fabrics can be dyed to high quality standards. -
Moisture Absorbent
This eco fabric has natural breathability and 50% greater moisture absorption than cotton. -
Anti-bacterial
Due to its moisture management, Tencel is also anti-bacterial. -
Feel of Fabric
Similar to cotton in feel while maintaining a silky drape. -
Great for sensitive skin
Tencel’s smooth fiber surface feels soft and supple against the skin and its incredible wicking abilities keep the skin dry, making Tencel a great fabric for sensitive skin. -
Durable
This super fiber is resilient when both wet and dry.
