Advantages And Disadvantages Of Tencel Fabric
Tencel is a mixture of wood pulp, water and solvent amine oxide based on conifers, heated to complete dissolution, does not produce any derivatives and chemical effects during the dissolution process, and is directly spun by impurity removal.Its molecular structure is simple carbohydrate
The advantages of Tencel fabric
1. Tencel is a fiber made from wood pulp of trees. It does not have any derivatives and chemical effects in the production process. It is a relatively healthy and environmentally friendly fabric.
2, Tencel fiber has excellent hygroscopicity, and overcomes the weakness of ordinary viscose fiber, especially the low wet strength. Its strength is similar to that of polyester, the wet strength is higher than that of cotton fiber, and the wet modulus is also higher. Cotton is high.
3, Tencel's water washing dimensional stability is relatively high, the water washing shrinkage rate is small, generally less than 3%.
4. Tencel fabric has a beautiful luster and is smooth and comfortable.
5, Tencel has a silky unique touch, elegant drape, and feels smooth.
6, with good breathability and moisture permeability.
The disadvantages of Tencel fabric
1. Tencel fabric has strong sensitivity to temperature, and it is easy to harden in hot and humid environment, but the picking property in cold water is not good.
2. The cross section of Tencel fiber is uniform, but the fibril is weakly combined and has no elasticity. If it is subjected to mechanical friction, the outer layer of the fiber is prone to break, forming a fur of about 1 to 4 microns in length, especially in the case of wet state. It is easy to produce and will become entangled into cotton when it is severe.
3, the price of Tencel fabric is more expensive than cotton fabric, but cheaper than silk fabric
