Abstract
Tencel fiber, as a new type of green environmental protection fiber, is drawing attention from the society and people’s favorite. In paper, the spinning process and properties of tencel yarn were studied. Also traditional cotton yarn was tested and compared to understand tencel better as they are now both widely used in apparel. Compared with cotton yarn of the same count, the weight CV of tencel quality is lower, while the twist CV is higher; breaking elongation of tencel yarn is larger, while CV of breaking elongation of tencel yarn is slightly higher; unevenness of tencel spinning yarn is lower.
Highlights
Tencel fiber is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber produced in a way called “solvent spinning method”, the production mainly uses coniferous wood pulp as raw materials
The source ingredients of tencel fiber mainly come from green cellulose fiber in nature, chemical solvent used in production can be recycled, so it won’t cause any damage to human and the environment
Analysis of Diagrams 5, 6, 7, 8: Compared with yarn of the same count, breaking strength of tencel yarn is higher than cotton yarn except it’s around 60 s; Breaking strength CV of tencel yarn is higher than cotton yarn except it’s around 80 s. 2) Compared with yarn of the same count, breaking elongation of tencel yarn is higher; CV of breaking elongation of tencel yarn is slightly higher than that of cotton yarn, and it goes nearer of CV of breaking elongation between tencel yarn and cotton yarn
Summary
Tencel fiber is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber produced in a way called “solvent spinning method”, the production mainly uses coniferous wood pulp as raw materials. Tencel fiber has the advantages of both natural fiber and synthetic fiber. Such as cellulose fiber, tencel fiber has good hygroscopicity, permeability and performance, its wearing comfort is much better than polyester, and its feel, gloss, drape are all good. The source ingredients of tencel fiber mainly come from green cellulose fiber in nature, chemical solvent used in production can be recycled, so it won’t cause any damage to human and the environment. As a kind of biodegradable fiber, will become the mainstream in the future [2]
