100% Micro Tencel – the new age fiber

Lenzing MicroTENCEL®, the fiber for US Tencel™ Micro is spun from fibers made from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified Eucalyptus wood pulp which is processed in a “closed loop” system recognized by the European Union as safe and sustainable. Fabrics made with this optimal blend of MicroTENCEL® are stable, durable, soft, silky and provide desirable functionalities not present in other cellulose fibers. MicroTENCEL® naturally inhibits the growth of bacteria and features moisture transfer performance. The micro-denier of the fibers allows for more fibers in the yarn cross-section which enhances the performance of yarn and fabric regarding strength, softness, drape, pilling and sheen. 

Due to the high dimensional stability in dry and wet state, fabrics from US Tencel™ Micro are ideal wherever a superior quality is most important.
