Indwangu ye-Tencel, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-Lyocell, iyifayibha ye-cellulose evuselelwe kabusha eyenziwe ngokhuni lwemvelo lwe-pulp ngokusebenzisa inqubo yokuphotha kwe-solvent evumelana nemvelo.
Izinto zokusetshenziswa zitholakala ikakhulukazi emahlathini aphethwe ngendlela eqhubekayo, njenge-eucalyptus ne-beech. Ngemva kochungechunge lwezinqubo, okuhlanganisa ukuhlakazeka, ukuphotha, kanye nokuhlangana, i-fiber ewumphumela ithambile futhi iqinile, ihlanganisa ukunethezeka kwemicu yemvelo nokusebenza kwemicu yokwenziwa. Idunyiswe ngokuthi "i-21st Century Green Fiber."
Indwangu ye-Tencel inikeza izinzuzo eziningi zokusebenza. Okokuqala, inokuthinta okushelelayo kanye ne-drape enhle kakhulu, ihlinzeka isikhumba esihle-esilingana kahle uma sigqokwa eduze kwesikhumba, okusenza sifanelekele izingubo zasehlobo, izingubo zangaphansi, nezindwangu zasekhaya. Okwesibili, isakhiwo se-Tencel fiber esinezimbotshana sinikeza ukuphefumula okuhle kakhulu, okusivumela ukuthi sisuse ngokushesha umswakama esikhumbeni, sigcine somile futhi sinethezekile, siqinisekisa ukunethezeka ngisho nasezimweni ezishisayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, indwangu ye-Tencel inezinto zemvelo zokulwa namagciwane, okuyenza ingabi lula ekukhuleni kwamagciwane futhi isize ekugcineni ukuhlanzeka kwezingubo.
Ngokuphumelelayo, inqubo yokukhiqiza ye-Tencel ihlanganisa imigomo yentuthuko esimeme. Nakuba ukukhiqizwa kwefayibha ye-viscose evamile kuncike ezintweni zamakhemikhali ezingcolisa kakhulu, i-Tencel isebenzisa{1}}inqubo yokukhiqiza eyiluphu evaliwe enezinga lokutholwa kwe-solvent elingaphezu kuka-99%, linciphisa kakhulu umthelela wayo kwezemvelo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinto zayo ezingavuthiwe zitholakala ezinsizeni zokhuni ezivuselelekayo, ezihambisana noguquko oluluhlaza lwemboni yendwangu yomhlaba wonke.
Izindwangu ze-tencel zisetshenziswa kakhulu, hhayi kuphela-emfashinini ephezulu kanye nasekugqokeni okungajwayelekile, kodwa nasezindwangu zasekhaya ezifana nokulala namakhethini. Njengoba isidingo sabathengi sobungani bemvelo nokunethezeka sikhula, isidingo semakethe sezindwangu ze-Tencel siyaqhubeka nokukhula. Ngokuzayo, njengoba intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe iqhubeka nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwe-Tencel, kulindeleke ukuthi ibe yinto ebalulekile embonini yendwangu, ehlanganisa kokubili ukubaluleka kwemvelo namandla okuhweba.
