Lyocell

Lyocell

The Green Fiber of the 21st Century

A revolutionary regenerated cellulose fiber made from natural wood sources through environmentally friendly solvent spinning technology (NMMO process).

Cotton-like Comfort

Natural moisture absorption and breathability for all-day comfort

Silk-like Luster

Elegant natural sheen and exceptional drape characteristics

Polyester-like Strength

Superior durability with excellent wet strength properties

Why Choose Lyocell?

Lyocell offers a unique combination of superior performance and environmental sustainability

Cotton-like Comfort
  • High Strength: Excellent wet and dry strength, far superior to cotton
  • Breathable Comfort: Natural moisture absorption for dry, comfortable wear
  • Luxurious Feel: Smooth, soft texture with excellent drape and natural luster
Environmental Sustainability
  • Renewable Resources: Derived from sustainably managed forests (eucalyptus, pine)
  • Closed-Loop Process: 99.7% solvent recovery rate with minimal wastewater discharge
  • Biodegradable: Naturally decomposes at the end of its lifecycle
Unique Fibrillation Property

Lyocell fibers have a distinctive ability to fibrillate under controlled conditions, creating a unique “peach skin” effect with enhanced texture and depth.

Process Benefits:

  • Creates unique textures and appearances
  • Enhances fabric softness and comfort
  • Allows for special finishing techniques

Controlled Fibrillation:

Through careful processing, manufacturers can control the degree of fibrillation to achieve specific fabric characteristics for different applications.

The Green Journey: From Pulp to Fiber

Discover Lyocell’s innovative and environmentally responsible manufacturing process

Raw Material Preparation

Selected natural wood pulp is carefully processed to remove impurities, ensuring the highest quality cellulose material for fiber production.

Dissolution

The purified cellulose is dissolved in an aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO), creating a homogeneous spinning dope.

Spinning

The cellulose solution is extruded through spinnerets using dry-jet wet spinning technology, where fibers are formed upon contact with a coagulation bath.

Regeneration and Recovery

After fiber formation, the NMMO solvent is efficiently recovered through filtration and purification processes, creating a closed-loop system with minimal environmental impact.
