The reason for Cotton : TENCEL®
• Differentiation for the WHOLE supply chain
• SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPARENCY becomes more important
• Innovation for the textile chain: TENCEL® has high innovation potential
• Quality of yarns and farbics matter in the textile chain
• Consumers want fashionable, comfortable, skin sensitive clothes from natural materials.
• The textile supply chain has to become more sustainable –from growing plants to the end of garment life

Cotton & TENCEL® the natural connection
• Cotton and TENCEL® are widely used in the same applications: shirts, denims, home textiles.
• Yarns and fabrics from 70% Cotton with 30% TENCEL®
in a blend are more even and stronger too.
• Extra Long staple cotton can be refined since TENCEL®
and ELS cotton have very similar fiber characteristics(length and natural crimp).
8
More value• TENCEL® is 100% pure – no waste in spinning.
• Less thin and thick places plus better yarn regularitywith TENCEL®
• High yarn strength from Ne 12 beyond Ne 50
• Higher strength with lower twist from Alpha 100 beyond 150
• Cotton : TENCEL® runs amazingly well on MVS spinning machinery

Perfect Combination
Cotton : TENCEL® works great with fine fibers – Micro TENCEL® - and yarns.
Cotton : TENCEL® works even better in coarser fibers - TENCEL® 1,3 and 1,7, dtexand yarns from Ne 12 beyond Ne 50.
It’s a natural connection!

Ring spinning Rotor spinning Airjet spinningno difference to 100 % cotton, optimum strengthwith cotton TENCEL®
blends by lower twistcompared to 100 % cotton yarns
no difference to 100 % cotton, higher yarntenacity with TENCEL®
with TENCEL® betterpurity, betterprocessability, higherprocessing speed
Higher yarn strength with lower twist in cotton TENCEL® blends.

Cotton TENCEL® in brief
Cotton : TENCEL® is the natural connection for the 21st century.
To achieve More with Less via
• Advanced quality yarns and fabrics• Increased productivity in spinning and finishing• Additional functional properties • More comfort with less process chemicals• Sustainable economic, ecologic and social sustainability • 100% botanic origin = renewable resources
