Tencel Fabric: Green Fiber Revolution
In the field of textile materials, Tencel Fabric is gradually leading a green fiber revolution with its unique environmental characteristics and performance. As an innovative cellulose fiber, Tencel Fabric not only meets the needs of modern consumers for high-quality fabrics, but also becomes the new favorite of the textile industry with its concept of sustainable development.
The manufacturing process of Tencel Fabric is a model of environmental protection. It adopts solvent spinning technology, with wood pulp, water and solvent oxidized amine as the main raw materials, mainly from coniferous trees. It is completely dissolved by heating without producing any derivatives or chemical reactions. During the dissolution process, impurities are removed and directly spun. Its molecular structure is a simple carbohydrate, which can be completely decomposed in the soil without polluting the environment. The amine solution used in production is completely harmless to the human body and can be almost completely recycled and reused.
Tencel Fabric not only performs well in environmental protection, but its physical properties are also impressive. Compared with polyester, its dry strength is slightly lower, but significantly higher than general viscose fiber; its wet strength is significantly improved than viscose fiber, and it is the first cellulose fiber with wet strength far better than cotton in wet state. In addition, Tencel Fabric has very high rigidity, good dimensional stability after washing (shrinkage rate is only 2%), and high hygroscopicity. Its fiber cross-section is round or oval, with beautiful luster, soft feel, good drape and fluidity, which makes Tencel Fabric widely used in clothing, home furnishing and other fields.
Another major advantage of Tencel Fabric is its good blending performance. It can be blended with a variety of fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, acrylic, polyester, etc. to form a variety of unique fabrics. For example, Tencel blended with bamboo fiber not only enhances the strength of bamboo fiber yarn, but also improves its spinnability; Tencel blended with cashmere and other fibers can be made into high-end knitting yarn, which has become a unique product in China. This multi-mixed blend not only enriches the types and styles of fabrics, but also meets the needs of different consumers for fabric performance.
With the increasing attention of global consumers to environmental protection and health, the market demand for Tencel Fabric continues to grow. Especially in the overseas market, affected by the special period, overseas production is limited, but the demand for textiles used in life has not decreased, which has brought huge business opportunities for China's textile exports. Tencel Fabric has become the focus of overseas buyers with its unique environmental characteristics and performance. On cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba International Station, the buyer demand index of Tencel Fabric continues to rise. Countries with high demand include China, Vietnam, Russia, etc., while the buyer visit data from Bulgaria, Malaysia and other countries is also growing rapidly.
