First of all, we should know that Tencel is actually a trademark name, the English name Tencel, which is registered successfully by Austrian Lanching Company in 2018 in our country, specifically referring to the man-made fiber produced by the company with wood pulp as a raw material, because of the different production processes, there are Tencel Model and Tencel.


So we can see on some denim Tencel fabric clothing tags the ingredient label is Tencel Modal or Tencel cel.


Modal and Lysel refer to different production and processing methods, the fiber produced by the Modal method is called Modal fiber, and the fiber produced by the Lysel method is called Lysel fiber.


The denim tencel fabric that we often say is generally tencel Lycel fabric.


Model fiber and Lyocell fiber are produced by solvent method, that is, wood pulp based on coniferous trees and organic oxide amine solvent are mixed and heated until completely dissolved, the dissolution process does not produce any derivatives and chemical reactions, and then spinning after removing impurities, the whole process is more environmentally friendly, does not pollute the ecology, is truly natural artificial cellulose fiber, real green environmental protection products.


Staple fibers (38mm and 51mm in length) are commonly used, while cotton fibers are far beyond the reach of even the best Xinjiang cotton.


In the 1990s or so, Austrian Lanzing company invented the use of beech wood (Austria is located near the Alps, wood resources are rich), by dissolving spinning method to produce fiber, this method is called Modal.


Later, the Lyocell production process was extended, and the main material used was eucalyptus.


The same raw materials (eucalyptus, beech, etc.) can be processed in different ways to produce different artificial cellulose fibers, such as Tencel Modal, Tencel cel.


Just like we are familiar with cotton yarn, the same cotton can use different processing methods such as air spinning, ring spinning, Siro spinning, etc., to produce yarns with different structural characteristics.


Of course, in addition to Lanzing Company, there are other companies with Modal and Lycel Iyocell production technology, but other companies can not be called Tencel Modal and Lycel.


This is just like the same spandex, only DuPont can be called Lycra, the meaning of the brand in addition to quality, price, but also a symbol of status, can not be messed with.
