About TENCEL™ Lyocell - A100
About TENCEL™ Lyocell - A100
Spinning mills benefit from the fiber properties of TENCEL™ Lyocell - A100 in the following ways:
- The broad fiber portfolio - including different titers and staple lengths, as well as Micro and woolen types for worsted spinning - enables a wide range of yarn counts (Ne 20-120) and applications.
- The fiber is suitable for airjet and ring spinning, including their variations.
- It is preferred for blends with polyester, polyamide, silk and wool due to its high resistance to acid conditions, but it is not recommended for cotton blends because of the large difference in dye affinity.
- Its natural moisture regain characteristics help to avoid electrostatic charge during processing.
- It offers higher strength and working capacity than viscose.
Fabric mills, dyers and finishers benefit from the fiber properties of of TENCEL™ Lyocell - A100 by:
- The fiber shows no fibrillation, allowing an easy processing in knits.
- It supports a wide variety of applications in both knit and woven fabrics.
- It offers a high dye uptake; no other cellulose fiber dyes as intensively as TENCEL™ Lyocell - A100.
Final products made with TENCEL™ Lyocell - A100 are characterized by the following qualities:
- Color depth and intensity remain intact even after numerous washes.
- The fiber adds comfort to synthetics through moisture management and a natural touch, and enhances wool by making it smooth and gentle on the skin.
- It delivers appealing aesthetics, including sheen and deep, vibrant colors.
- It improves the wear & care performance compared to viscose, offering better washing durability, good wrinkle recovery, and enhanced drape.
- It enables full traceability from fiber to final product.

Key features overview
Blending
- Not recommended for blends with cotton, mainly due to the large differences in dye affinity between cotton and TENCEL™ Lyocell - A100.
- Preferred for blends with polyester, polyamide, polyacrylic, silk and wool due to its high resistance to acidic conditions.
General
- Fully traceable in all processing steps due to fiber identification technology.
Spinning
- The bias cut contains multiple cut lengths within the bale, and is required for worsted spinning processes to control the needed cohesion of the slivers.
- Suitable for airjet spinning, ring spinning and their adaptions. There are some limitations for open-end spinning.
Fabric
- Recommended for knitted fabrics, however excellent results have also been achieved on woven fabrics.
Processing
- Suitable to dye with all common dyestuff and application methods for cellulosic fibers except vat and sulphur dyes.
- Not positively affected by bio polishing processes.
- Not stable to the typical bleaching conditions used for cotton, however acceptable whiteness levels can be achieved using modified bleaching recipes.
- Not suitable for treatments involving high alkaline concentrations.
- Not suitable for easy-care finishing due to significant loss in fiber strength.
