Due to the scarcity of natural fiber resources and the promotion of environmental protection concepts, in recent years,“from natural fiber, better than natural fiber” ‘s regenerated fiber emerged in response to the trend. Among them, the name “Lycell” is the most famous.
Lyocell, also known as “Tencel”, is a cellulose obtained by extracting plant wood pulp and spinning it through an organic solvent spinning process The fiber is not only made of natural raw materials, but the recovery rate of the solvent used in the production process 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.
Because of this, Lyocell has always been a symbol of high quality and is a more popular clothing style in recent years. Fabrics are widely used, especially in high-end clothing brands.
Fabric characteristics
1. Smooth and coolThe smooth fiber surface makes Lyocell fiber feel like silk, soft and smooth, and cool to the touch but not ice.
2. Moisture absorption and drynessThe unique fiber structure can effectively regulate the absorption and release of moisture. Keep skin dry and at constant temperature.
3. Good insulationLyocell’s natural moisture content, coupled with its excellent moisture conduction The properties prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges and are comfortable to the touch.
4. Easy care Not easy to wrinkle, anti-pilling, and small 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. Not resistant to acid and alkali, 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, and not exposing it to the sun. It needs to be smoothed and dried naturally in a cool place. .
