What Exactly Is Lyocell Fiber

What is Lyocell fiber?

Lycel fiber, also known as tencel fiber, is a natural fiber as raw materials, through chemical processing of semi-synthetic fiber, belongs to a kind of artificial fiber. Compared with other synthetic fibers, Lyocell fibers have better moisture absorption properties and feel soft and comfortable.

The difference between Lyocell and polyester

Lyocell fiber is similar to polyester fiber, but there are some obvious differences in material properties between the two. The main raw materials of Lyocell fiber are natural fibers such as wood pulp and cotton stalk, and the final Lyocell cotton is softer and more comfortable than polyester cotton and more absorbent. Polyester fiber is the use of petroleum and other chemical raw materials, chemical reaction after production, its absorbability is far less than Lyocell fiber.

Application of Lyocell fiber

Because of its good breathability and soft and comfortable feel, Lyocell fiber has been widely used in the fields of clothing and home textiles. For example, the production of bedding products, such as Lyocell quilts, Lyocell mattress covers; Produces a variety of clothing, such as Lyocell T-shirts, Lyocell underwear and so on. In addition, in high-grade textile products, Lyocell fibers are also used in the production of fabrics to give fabrics soft, fluffy, breathable properties.

In short, although Lyocell fiber and polyester fiber have similarities, but its material properties are different, with better moisture absorption performance. Due to its soft, comfortable, breathable and soft properties, Lyocell fiber is widely used in clothing and home textiles and other fields.
