WHAT DOES TENCEL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tencel

Lyocell

Lyocell is a form of rayon produced from cellulose fiber made from dissolving pulp. It was developed and first manufactured for market development as Tencel in the 1980s by Courtaulds Fibres in Coventry UK and at the Grimsby UK pilot plant. The process was first commercialised at Courtaulds rayon factories at Mobile Alabama and Grimsby UK, but in 1998 Courtaulds was acquired by Akzo Nobel, who combined the Tencel division with other fibre divisions under the Acordis banner, prior to selling it off to private equity. In 2004 CVC sold the Tencel division to Lenzing AG, who combined it with their "Lenzing Lyocell" business but maintained the brand name Tencel. Lenzing AG is currently the only major producer of lyocell fibres. The US Federal Trade Commission defines Lyocell as "a cellulose fabric that is obtained by an organic solvent spinning process." It classifies the fibre as a sub-category of rayon. The fiber is used to make textiles for clothing and other purposes.
