What Lenzing’s New TENCEL™ Fiber Offers Denim
“The Lenzing Group is expanding its sustainable offering for the denim industry with the introduction of matte TENCEL™ branded lyocell fibers. The new fiber type is specially designed to scatter light and permanently diminish sheen in denim applications, further enabling versatile, indigo-dyed denim fabrics. ‘As a leader in fiber production, we work closely with our customers and mill partners to address their product needs,’ said Tricia Carey, director of global business development for denim and the Americas for Lenzing AG. ‘Our partners wanted the option to choose denim fabrics that are less shiny and we listened. By implementing an innovative production process to create matte TENCEL™ lyocell fibers, we are setting a new standard for indigo applications.’”
