Spinning mills benefit from the fiber properties of TENCEL™ Lyocell - Micro LF in the following ways:
- The fiber enables the production of very fine yarns with higher yarn tenacity and working capacity compared to 1.3 dtex fibers.
- It is processable with all spinning technologies without requiring changes in setup.
- It blends perfectly with cotton and other cellulosic fibers due to its similar dye uptake and high resistance to alkaline conditions.
- The achievable yarn strengths meet the requirements for both knit and woven applications.
- 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 TENCEL™ Lyocell - Micro LF in the following ways:
- The fiber adds softness and a cozy touch to cotton fabrics, making it ideal for next-to-skin applications without the need for additional softeners.
- It has a similar dye uptake to cotton and is suitable for the cotton dyeing route.
- It is mercerizable, enabling a shiny appearance in woven fabrics.
- It provides higher dimensional stability and improved washing stability compared to viscose.
- It is low-fibrillating, allowing dyeing in open width or rope form without requiring special treatments to control fibrillation (though precautions are necessary during wet processing with alkaline peroxide bleaching and hot acid treatments).
- It does not require bleaching in 100% form.
- It is certified under OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class 1.
- Up to 30% PEFC™ or FSC® certified TENCEL™ Lyocell - Micro LF fiber is eligible for GOTS certification.

Final products made with TENCEL™ Lyocell - Micro LF are characterized by the following qualities:
- The fiber supports diverse design possibilities for lightweight products.
- Its natural moisture management enables high wearing comfort, making it ideal for next-to-skin applications.
- It offers engineered softness, with the level of softness adjustable through different titers and technologies.
- It improves the wear & care performance compared to viscose, offering better washing durability, good wrinkle recovery, and enhanced drape.
- It is responsibly sourced: TENCEL™ Lyocell - Micro LF fibers are made in Austria from wood pulp derived from natural cellulose, using a closed-loop solvent-spinning process with high resource efficiency and a significantly lower water footprint than conventional cotton.
- It enables full traceability from fiber to final product.
