What is Lyocell Fabric

What is Lyocell Fabric

Lyocell fabric refers to an perfect eco friendly which is considered as a milestone in environmentally sustainable textiles development. Lyocell is a popular man made fibre. Lyocell textiles are created by using nanotechnology with award-winning closed-loop process which is 100% biodegradable and offers you exceptional comfort experience.

Advantages of Lyocell Fabric

Eco Print
Since the Lyocell Fabric is made from natural cellulose found in wood pulp, it is economical and is fully biodegradable.

Colour Rich
For its high absorbency property, the Lyocell can be created with various color in mind. Also it can be dyed to high quality standards.

Moisture Absorbent
Comparing to cotton, Lyocell Fabric is greater as high as 50% in moisture absorption aspect. Furthermore this eco fabric has natural breathability.

Anti-bacterial
Due to its moisture management, lyocell is also anti-bacterial.

Feel of Fabric
The fabric is soft, breathable, lightweight and comfortable. Lyocell has an greater experience touching experience. 

Great for sensitive skin
The smooth fiber surface feels soft and supple against the skin so it is a great fabric for sensitive skin. Wicking abilities is able to keep the skin dry.

FAQ on Lyocell Fabric

How is Lyocell made?
Lyocell is made from wood pulp cellulose and is produced in a solvent spinning process which is sustainable and uniquely revolutionary.



In the process of Lyocell solvent spinning, 99.5％ solvent can be recycled, purified and reused in a closed loop circuit. This process is environmentally friendly. On the basis of natural material, Lyocell is 100% organic and has won many awards including the “European Environmental Award from the European Union”.
