Origin and Properties of Tencel Fabric: Sustainability and Comfort by HOM
In recent years, Tencel fabric has gained significant popularity in the fashion world, and it’s not without reason. This unique material is not only environmentally friendly but also provides high comfort and durability. In this blog post, we’ll explore the origins of Tencel, its applications, properties, and why HOM chooses to use Tencel for their underwear and shirts.
The Origin of Tencel
Tencel is the brand name for lyocell, a material made from wood pulp, often derived from eucalyptus trees. These trees grow quickly and require minimal water, making them a sustainable resource for textile production. The Tencel production process is a closed-loop system, where nearly all solvents and water are recycled, making it an environmentally responsible choice within the textile industry.
Properties of Tencel Fabric
Tencel has several unique properties that make it ideal for underwear and shirts. It is:
- Soft and Breathable – Tencel feels wonderfully soft on the skin and is highly breathable, providing a comfortable wearing experience.
- Moisture-Wicking – The material absorbs moisture better than cotton, contributing to a dry and fresh feeling.
- Durable and Hypoallergenic – Thanks to its eco-friendly production and hypoallergenic properties, Tencel is perfect for sensitive skin.
