Tencel ndi ulusi wopangidwanso wa cellulose wopangidwa kuchokera ku zamkati zamatabwa zachilengedwe. Zomwe zimayambira zimatengedwa kuchokera kumitengo yosamalidwa bwino ndipo amapangidwa kudzera m'njira yopita patsogolo yosungunulira. Tekinoloje iyi idapangidwa ndi Lenzing AG waku Austria ndipo adatchedwa Lyocell. Pambuyo pake, chifukwa cha malonda, adadziwika kuti "Tencel."
Chigawo chachikulu cha Tencel ndi cellulose, wopangidwa makamaka kuchokera kumitengo yomwe imakula mwachangu-monga beech ndi bulugamu. Mtengowu umapangidwa kale kuti uchotse mamolekyulu a cellulose, omwe kenako amasungunuka mu -mankhwala osungunulira poizoni N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO). Kupyolera mu njira yowuma-yomwe imapota monyowa, chitsulo cha cellulose chimakakamizika kupyola pa spinneret kuti chipangike bwino. Mukusamba kwa coagulation, yankho la cellulose limapangidwanso kukhala ulusi, ndipo pamapeto pake limatulutsa ulusi wa Tencel kapena ulusi wokhala ndi zinthu zapadera. Njirayi imakwaniritsa kuchuluka kwa zosungunulira zosungunulira (zopitilira 99%), kuchepetsa kwambiri kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe panthawi yopanga.
Tencel fiber ili ndi gawo lozungulira mosiyanasiyana-, malo osalala, komanso mawonekedwe a microporous. Katunduyu amapangitsa kuyamwa kwa chinyezi komanso kupuma bwino-kuyambiranso kwa chinyezi kumafika 11%, kupitilira thonje 8%. Kuphatikiza apo, Tencel ndi khungu mwachilengedwe-okondana, ndipo imagunda pang'ono, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti khungu likhale losavuta kumva. Kuphatikiza apo, mphamvu ya Tencel imayandikira ya polyester, ndikuphatikiza kufewa kwa thonje ndi kuwala kwa silika. Mphamvu yake yolimbana ndi makwinya-ndi antibacterial imatha kupitilizidwa pophatikiza kapena kumaliza.
Malinga ndi momwe chilengedwe chimakhalira, moyo wonse wa Tencel umakwaniritsa zofunikira zachitukuko: zopangira zake zimachokera kuzinthu zongowonjezedwanso, kupanga kwake sikokwanira{{0}carbon ndi madzi{1}}kuchepa, ndipo zinyalala zake zimatha kuwonongeka. Chifukwa chake, nsalu za Tencel zayamba kutchuka muzovala, m'nyumba, ndi m'zinthu zina, zomwe zakhala zopambana kuposa ulusi wa thonje ndi bafuta.
