What is lyocell?
Answer:
Lyocell is a fibre made from wood pulp cellulose. It was first manufactured in 1988 by Courtaulds Fibres UK at their pilot plant S25. The only current manufacturer in the United States is Lenzing Inc, who market it under the trademarked brand name Tencel®. There is another larger plant with over twice as much capacity at Grimsby in the United Kingdom which is currently running flat out.
The Federal Trade Commission defines lyocell as "a cellulose fabric that is obtained by an organic solvent spinning process". It classifies the fibre as a sub-category of rayon.
The fibre is used in the production of many clothes, such as jeans, trousers and coats.
Currently Lyocell is more expensive to produce than cotton or rayon, but is included in many everyday items...
