TENCEL™ Lyocell is ideal for sensitive skin and fragile hair
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are naturally soft and smooth to the touch. TENCEL™ Lyocell and give fabrics a natural softness, making them feel pleasant against the skin.
Published studies witness softness
Under a microscope, TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers exhibit a smooth surface, which give fabrics a pleasant softness. Additionally, the soft fibers bring fluidity to fabrics to make them drape beautifully.
Published studies using the Tactile Sensation Analyzer (TSA) and Fabric Touch Tester (FTT) as measuring devices have confirmed the softness of fabrics made of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers.
Despite the availability of several instrumental options to measure softness, human handfeel remains the ultimate reference. Indeed, human handfeel is very complex and is difficult to replicate using physical measurement methods. Therefore, the testing of softness always combines the evaluations of a human panel as well as instrumental testing methods.
TENCEL™ Lyocell for hair care
Dry hair ends and breakage can be exacerbated by coarse fabrics, especially if you move a lot in your sleep.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers that naturally reduce development of odor
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers have natural moisture-regulating properties. Water absorbed inside the fiber structure is not available for the bacteria on the fiber surface. The decreased moisture level on the fiber surface provides an unfavorable environment for odor-causing bacteria types, which are mostly sensitive to moisture content.
Tests have been conducted with the most common odor-causing bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium jeikeium), and the studies confirm that these bacteria show lower growth rates on fabrics made of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers. The odor reduction in comparison to synthetic fibers is confirmed by studies with user groups.
