Textiles are fluid and soft to handle, with strong wet strength, absorbency and breathability.
Tencel is a branded cellulose fibre produced in a closed loop system with improved environmental performance.
Lyocell is used in woven and knitted forms and as a non-woven for medical applications and hospital textiles.
Cellulosic man-made fibers hold a formidable position of being the first fibers to be manufactured synthetically by humans.
Cellulosic man-made fibers are gradually being looked upon as ideal substitutes for cotton, resulting from decline in cotton production world over, shrinking manufacturer margins and sharp rise in cotton prices.
According to the preview of 'The Fiber Year 2012' report to bepublished by Lenzing Group and The Fiber Year Consulting in May, the latest estimation about the 2011 world fiber usage amoints to more than 51 million tons of manmade fibers and 30 million tones of nature fibers.
Lenzing Group notes that manmade cellulose fibers combine the absorbency of all cellulose fibers and technical advantages of industrial manmade fibers.
