Austrian company
Lenzing AG has announced the acceptance of the name Lyocell by BISFA as the
generic name for solvent-spun viscose rayon. A solvent-spun rayon from
Courtaulds Fibers Inc. called Tencel is reported to show similar
characteristics, i.e. high strength and the tendency to fibrillate under
certain conditions. As all the solvent employed in the solvent-spun rayon
process is reclaimed and recycled and no unpleasant effluent is emitted, the
new Lenzing technology is justifiably labelled as environmentally friendly.
