Bed and Bath TENCEL™ Linen
Description
- Quality is built into the product, even into its name. TENCEL™ comes from Tenacity (‘Ten’) and Cellulose (‘Cel’). It uses fiber which has the highest strength in the cellulose fiber family. TENCEL™ Fibers provides comfort that is superior to cotton, thus offering the best of both products.
- TENCEL™ fibers absorb and distribute moisture quickly over a large surface. Normal cotton has 6-8% moisture regain; TENCEL™ has 10-12% moisture regain. Higher the regain, better is the moisture regulation and comfort.
- This characteristic offers better absorption of water by bath towels, as well as shorter drying times during the laundry process.
- Dr. Linen™’s better moisture management also creates unfavourable conditions for the growth of bacteria or mildew, compared to when 100% cotton products are used.
- Dr. Linen™ fabrics dry faster, the turnaround time is also shorter. Most importantly, these fabrics require less water during the laundry process.
- The choice of linen will shift from brand standards like 100% cotton, which is a water-intensive crop, to sustainable, hygienic options like Dr. Linen™
- Dr. Linen™ fabrics have a 10-12% Moisture Regain.

Lenzing’s TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres are made from the bark of the eucalyptus tree. A pulp conversion process transforms this into white pulp, dissolved in an organic solvent, much like sugar dissolving in water.
This solution is then passed through a spinneret and reprecipitated in the form of strands of Lyocell fibre.
The trees that provide the raw material are taken only from those certified as sustainable forests.
The solvent used is recirculated to the extent of 99.9%. Wastewater generation is minimal; whatever is generated is adequately treated.
TENCEL™ yarn is produced in Austria by Lenzing, and then tree yarn is transported to India, where the wool is blended with cotton to create Dr. Linen™ Products.
