Due to the scarcity of natural fiber resources and the promotion of environmental protection concepts, in recent years, regenerated fibers that are “derived from natural fibers and better than natural fibers” have emerged. Among them, the name “Lycell” is the most famous.
Lyocell, also known as “Tencel”, is a cellulose fiber obtained by extracting plant wood pulp and spinning it through an organic solvent spinning process. Not only is the raw material natural, but it is also in the production process The recovery rate of the solvent used in it is as high as 99.7%. It is energy-saving, environmentally friendly and sustainable, so it is known as the “21st century green fiber”.
The fabrics produced have a variety of excellent properties of natural fibers and synthetic fibers. It has natural luster, smooth feel, high strength, basically no shrinkage, and good moisture and air permeability. It can be spun purely or blended with cotton, wool, silk, linen, chemical fiber, cashmere and other fibers.
For this reason, Lyocell has always been a symbol of high quality and is a popular clothing fabric in recent years, especially among high-end clothing brands. to use.
Fabric characteristics
1. Smooth, cool and smooth fiber surface makes Lyocell fiber feel like silk, soft and smooth, cool to the touch but not ice.
2. Moisture-absorbing and dry. The unique fiber structure can effectively regulate the absorption and release of moisture, keeping skin dry and at a constant temperature.
3. Good insulation Lyocell’s natural moisture content and its excellent moisture conductivity prevent it from accumulating electrostatic charge and feels comfortable to the touch.
4. Easy to care, not easy to wrinkle, anti-pilling, and has low shrinkage.
5. Not easy to fade. In terms of dyeing and printing, it has excellent color fixation and is not easy to fade.
Washing and maintenance
1. It is not acid and alkali resistant, so you need to use neutral detergent for washing. Dry cleaning results are better.
2. If there are local stains, it is not advisable to use chlorine-containing stain removal additives. Oxygen-containing additives can be used.
3. Avoid scrubbing and brushing hard, twisting hard, or exposing it to the sun. It needs to be smoothed and dried naturally in a cool place.
4. When machine washing, the anti-wrinkle function should be used and tumble dried at low temperature.
