Lyocell Filament

Product Description

Lyocell Tencel Fiber Manufacturer

The Fortune Cat^® Lyocell Tencel fiber production base was established in 1998, and its annual production has now reached 200,000 tons.

Lyocell fiber, also known as soluble fiber, is an environmentally friendly green viscose fiber made from natural cellulose. Compared with traditional viscose fibers, Lyocell fibers are produced by cellulose organic solvent spinning method. During the production process, a new solvent NMMO (N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide) is used to replace CS2 (carbon disulfide), which causes serious environmental pollution. Specifically, cellulose (pulp) is directly dissolved in the NMMO/water system to form a viscous cellulose solution, which is then produced by dry jet wet spinning.

This production process does not undergo chemical reactions, and the entire production process is relatively short. The solvent dissolution, spinning, and recovery process is closed, and the solvent NMMO recovery rate is as high as 99.5%. There is almost no waste discharge, and the spinning speed is very high. Lyocell fiber has all the comfort properties of natural fibers and has greater fiber strength than ordinary viscose fibers, and is known as the “green fiber of the 21st century”.

The development of viscose fibers can be divided into three stages:

(1) The first generation was ordinary viscose fibers, mainly viscose staple fibers, which emerged in the early 20th century to solve the problem of cotton shortage;

(2) The second generation is high moisture modulus viscose fibers, which were industrialized in the 1950s. The representative product is modal fibers;

(3) The third generation is solvent based viscose fibers represented by Lyocell fibers.

For a long time, due to the short supply of key solvent NMMO and the recovery process of NMMO, the price of Lyocell fiber in China has been relatively high and its development has been slow. However, in recent years, due to technological breakthroughs in NMMO solvents, the cost of NMMO has significantly decreased, and the price competitiveness of Lyocell fibers has greatly improved.

The main products of Fortune Cat^® Bamboo Fiber and Lyocell Fiber Production Base include modal fiber, lyocell fiber, Lyocell filament, recycled fiber, degradable fiber, natural fiber, clothing fiber, ecological fiber, fiber materials, cellulose fiber, textile fiber, green fiber, textile material, synthetic fiber, chemical fiber, artificial fiber, Tencel, etc.

Lyocell Filament

Fortune Cat^® can produce Lyocell Filament.

Item Name: Fortune Cat^® Lyocell Filament.

Brand: Fortune Cat^®

Fortune Cat^® Lyocell Filament is produced using natural ecological plant raw materials and a non-toxic and environmentally friendly closed-loop production process, which can degrade 100% in the natural environment.

Compared to pure cotton, Fortune Cat^® Lyocell Filament has twice the water absorption capacity and a quick balance of moisture content, which gives it unique breathability and moisture regulation functions, making the clothing made of it comfortable, refreshing, and pleasant to wear, as well as natural antibacterial properties.

The smooth surface gives the fabric a silky touch, and the finished garment is draped and flowing, smooth and soft, close to the skin. The effect and touch are completely comparable to or even surpassing natural mulberry silk.

Readymade clothing made with Lyocell filling is sturdy, durable, and washable, making it easier to maintain.

The strength of Lyocell fiber is equivalent to synthetic fibers, twice that of other cellulose filaments, and the wet strength retention rate can reach 80%, 1.5 times that of other cellulose filaments.

Lyocell fiber does not deform much under boiling water and has excellent dimensional stability, which is fifteen times that of other cellulose filaments.

Excellent dyeing performance, easy dyeing, high color fastness, full and bright colors of the product, extremely expressive, and can present a unique elegant luster.

Fortune Cat^® Lyocell Filament Characteristics:

Lyocell not only has high wet dry strength, but also is not easy to shrink.

Lyocell has good spinnability and can be blended and interwoven with cotton, linen, synthetic fibers, etc.

Lesser has good drape, similar to Modal.

Lyocell has a silky, smooth, and soft texture.

Lyocell has good dyeing performance, bright colors, and is not easy to fade.

Lyocell is green and environmentally friendly, with a pollution-free production process and a solvent recovery rate of up to 99.7%.

Lesser is prone to snagging and puncturing, and the higher the content, the more likely it is to be.

Lyocell needs to be hand washed at low temperature, not exposed to direct sunlight, and not dehydrated.

Lyocell is not resistant to acid and alkali detergents.

Fortune Cat^® Lyocell Fiber Applications:

Lyocell fiber combines multiple excellent properties of natural and synthetic fibers, with renewable raw materials, environmentally friendly production processes, recyclable solvents, and natural degradation of pure textile products, possessing green and sustainable development attributes.

It has the comfort of cotton, the strength of polyester, the luxurious beauty of woolen fabrics, and the unique touch and soft drape of real silk, making it highly resilient in both dry and wet conditions. In a wet state, it is the first cellulose fiber with much stronger wet strength than cotton.

In the context of promoting green and low-carbon consumption both domestically and internationally, Lyocell fiber has been widely and deeply applied in the three major terminal fields of clothing, household textiles, and industrial use, and its usage is continuously increasing.

Fortune Cat^® Lyocell filament regular in stock specifications: 50D/30F, 80D/40F, 120D/60F, 120D/80F, or made to order.
