Fabric properties of Tencel
Tencel is a pure natural regenerated fiber, which is developed by ACORDIS company in the UK with 100% natural wood pulp extracted from Eucalyptus as raw material. It is known as the “fiber dream of the 21st century”. Its characteristics: softer than silk; Better moisture absorption than cotton; Light and easy to wash and dry.
Tencel is a commodity of iyocell fiber (iyocell is a cellulose fiber prepared by organic solvent spinning, which has its generic name approved by the International Bureau of synthetic and synthetic fiber standards). Tencel is produced and patented by British courtualds. Therefore, only the iyocell fiber produced by cordal ceramics can be called Tencel. Similarly, only products with Tencel approved by this company can use Tencel or hang Tencel tag.
Tencel has high strength and can be used as industrial fiber. At the same time, it has the comfort of cotton, the feel of silk and good drapability. It is the only new fiber in the world that integrates the advantages of synthetic fiber and natural fiber. As soon as Tencel appeared, it attracted countless fabric manufacturers and garment manufacturers who paid attention to the development of new fabrics, and became a fiber name that has been used very frequently recently. Tencel causes little pollution to the environment in the production process, so it is also known as “green fiber in the 21st century”.

Characteristics of modal fabrics
It is a kind of natural fiber, which is made of pure cellulose after spinning. It is the same as that of European cotton.
Modal products are mostly used in the production of underwear because of its good softness and excellent moisture absorption, but its fabric has poor straightness. Modal’s knitted fabrics are mainly used to make underwear. However, modal has silver white luster, excellent dyeability and bright color after dyeing, which is enough to make it a talent for coat. Because of this, modal has increasingly become the material of coat and its decorative cloth.
In order to improve the poor straightness of modal products, modal can be blended with other fibers and achieve good results. JM / C (50 / 50) can make up for this shortcoming. The more washed, the brighter.
Modal is close to the strength of polyester (35cn / TEC), and its wet strength is slightly lower than that of cotton. It is soft and smooth. It feels silky, and its wet elongation is small. The dry elongation of fiber is between cotton and viscose. Its wet elongation is similar to that of cotton, but less than viscose; The washing shrinkage rate is low, its good moisture absorption capacity is 50% higher than that of cotton, and the moisture absorption speed is very fast. For the dyeing characteristics of modal fiber, the absorption rate of pigment is faster than that of combed cotton, and the absorption rate is high, and the color is bright after dyeing; Good air permeability.
Fine denier modal fiber meets the requirements of Eco-Tex standard, is harmless to physiology and can be biodegradable. For textiles in direct contact with the body, it has special advantages, and fine denier fiber gives knitted fabrics comfortable wearing performance, soft hand feeling, flowing drape feeling, charming luster and high moisture absorption.
Because of this, many warp and weft knitting factories have begun to use this fiber as raw material to produce daily wear and pajamas, sportswear and casual wear, as well as lace. When calcium fabric is matched with its close fitting clothes, it has a particularly ideal effect, so that your skin can often maintain a dry and comfortable feeling. Even after cleaning, it can still maintain a feeling of water absorption and light and soft, which depends on the smooth surface of the material surface to avoid the entanglement of fibers in the cleaning process.
Characteristics of bamboo fiber fabrics
The raw material of bamboo fiber yarn is high-quality wild moso bamboo fiber in the south. The short yarn produced by bamboo pulp fiber is a green product. The knitted fabric and clothing produced by cotton yarn made of this raw material have a unique style obviously different from cotton and wood cellulose fiber: good wear resistance, no wool ball, high moisture absorption, fast drying, high air permeability and drapability, The blended fabric made of this yarn makes the cotton fiber more flexible and improves the appearance of the fabric.
The specific blending of bamboo fiber and other kinds of fibers can not only reflect the performance of other fibers, but also give full play to the characteristics of bamboo fiber and bring new characteristics to knitted fabrics. Pure and blended yarn (blended with Tencel, modal, sweat wicking polyester, negative oxygen ion polyester, corn fiber, cotton, acrylic fiber and other fibers in different types and proportions) is the preferred fabric for knitted close fitting textiles. In fashion, the wearing effect of bamboo fiber fabric in spring and summer is better.
