TENCEL® - Number one for children’s skin

TENCEL® fiber has proven its effectiveness: it is the very best fiber for babies and children. its outstanding property combination makes this cellulose fiber the very best fiber for children. it is the only fiber to exhibit the highest dimensional stability possible; making it robust and hard-wearing for children playing everywhere. its strength also guarantees easy-care properties. Textiles can be washed at high temperatures and remain supple even after repeated washing – itching and scratching won’t interfere in our children’s world of discovery.

Properties such as naturalness, skin friendliness and a high moisture absorption in children’s textiles guarantee endless hours of play.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin in children – A health issue

An increasing number of children suffer from sensitive skin. As a result of environmental pollution, the number of allergies which can affect the skin is increasing. for this reason it is becoming more and more important to pay attention to the largest of all of the human organs – i.e. the skin.

Smooth structure lends a helping hand

TENCEL®

Cotton

TENCEL® is the perfect fiber for children’s sensitive skin. Tests have shown that when children with sensitive skin wear textiles of TENCEL® there is a significant improvement to their well-being. The exceptionally smooth fiber surface of TENCEL® is found to be extremely pleasant on the skin. in addition, the chemicals in fiber play a role when it comes to sensitive skin. TENCEL® is naturally pure and not burdened with chemicals.

When comparing the fiber surfaces of cotton to TENCEL® the difference becomes blatantly obvious. TENCEL® has a very smooth and supple surface whereas the surface of cotton is rough.

Moisture Management

Kids need movement

Anyone moving about a lot is bound to perspire. Children have an inborn need to stay on the move and are much more active than adults. kids need an average of two to three hours of exercise every day for healthy development. kids’ natural urge to romp, run, climb and jump needs to be accounted for in the form of comfortable clothing. Particularly when it comes to physical exertion, it is important to be dressed in clothing that quickly absorbs moisture.

TENCEL® - The moisture management professional

TENCEL®

Cotton

TENCEL® absorbs up to 50 % more moisture than cotton which makes it the ideal ingredient for children’s clothing. in TENCEL®, sub-microscopic channels between the individual fiber fibrils guarantee exceptionally good moisture absorption and rapid moisture release.

TENCEL® absorbs moisture in a controlled and regular manner and has a 50 % higher moisture absorption level than cotton.

Perfect Partnership

Tradition in combination with function

Cotton is the textile fiber most commonly used in children’s clothing. This traditional fiber is used in all skin-tight textiles. it is natural, hard-wearing and moisture-absorbent. Now TENCEL® has brought it’s own properties to blends with cotton. When blended, TENCEL® and cotton can guarantee greater comfort for children. Children’s textiles become more absorbent, skin friendlier and more robust. This blend is quite simply the best for our kids.

Hard-wearing and robust in everyday life

•

The specialty fiber TENCEL® Lf is exceptionally suited to knitted fabrics. in terms of processing, it is very much like cotton. The blend is hard-wearing and does not lose its original quality even after repeated washings. This is particularly important in children’s clothing. Now nothing can put a damper on the abundant zest for life that children have.

When it comes to quality, TENCEL® offers a host of advantages. Blended with cotton, the fiber can be applied universally. In addition these blends are extremely hard-wearing since TENCEL® has a high fiber tenacity.

ECO-Denim

Urban denim chic

Little ones just simply love jeans. Jeans are practical and durable. With TENCEL® this year-round article of clothing becomes softer and more eco-friendly. Adding TENCEL® to conventional cotton jeans can significantly improve the environmental soundness. If 25 % of TENCEL® fibers are used in a denim fabric, the amount of useful land needed to grow cotton is reduced by 25 %. The same applies to water consumption: a 25 % reduction. This is the best solution for the future of our children.

Integrated comfort

No time for uncomfortable clothing. TENCEL® offers integrated comfort in jeans. The smooth fiber surface and perfect moisture management of TENCEL® transform children’s jeans into feel-good articles of clothing. There is no time to be uncomfortable in a child’s world.

A host of eco-friendly arguments make jeans wear of TENCEL® the perfect eco alternative particularly in combination with cotton. Comfort and eco-friendliness can go hand in hand.

Natural Bed

Kids need lots of sleep

Plentiful sleep of the healthy kind is an important pre-requisite for children’s physical and mental development. A child who has had enough sleep will develop well. school aged children need nine and a half hours of sleep and babies need up to twice that amount. sleep is, therefore, an essential issue for both children and parents. Therefore, attention should be paid to bedding in order to make the time children spend in bed as healthy and pleasant as possible.

Sweet dreams with TENCEL®

The unique combination of properties in TENCEL® allows you to enjoy relaxing dreams. An entire bed can be equipped with TENCEL® fiber. All of the positive properties of this fiber can be transferred to the children’s bedding. There is a special TENCEL® type for each element in the bed: TENCEL® powder in the mattress core, filling fibers for mattress covers and bed covers and MicroTENCEL® for the very finest bed linens. Now nothing can stop the appearance of a perfect bed for kids.

A bed entirely of TENCEL® transforms a night’s sleep into the most pleasant thing in the world.

Pure Fiber

Pure nature for children’s tender skin

Children’s skin is very sensitive and reacts to chemical irritations which can cause reddening or a rash. TENCEL® is exceptionally pure. The fiber is by nature pure and not burdened with pesticides or other agricultural chemicals. Another advantage is the eco-friendly production process for TENCEL®. The revolutionary thing about this is that the solvent is treated in a closed loop. it is recovered by 99.7 % and does not stay in the fiber.

Hygiene the natural way

TENCEL® is pure. bacteria have a tough life on TENCEL®. The enormous moisture absorption nips the formation of bacteria in the bud since it is immediately moved to the inside of the fiber. Therefore, no film of moisture forms on the fiber, preventing the basis for the growth of bacteria.

Hygiene is important for kids. Tests show that the growth of bacteria is reduced in TENCEL® without any chemical additives. In synthetic fibers on the other hand, the growth of bacteria rises by 2,000 times.

Botanic Fiber

The future belongs to our children!

Kids just love nature and adults should take responsibility to maintain it. TENCEL® comes from Nature and returns to Nature. The fiber is extracted from eucalyptus wood grown exclusively on forest plantations which practice sustainability. in ecological terms, eucalyptus is an interesting raw material since it is subject to rapid growth and survives without artificial irrigation or gene manipulation.

Going gentle on resources for the generations to come

The production process used for TENCEL® is characterized by its responsibility towards the environment. This refers to the way it deals with the raw materials and the production process itself.. Another important environmental aspect is the water consumption. during production – which includes pulp production - TENCEL® consumes only 1% of the water quantity used to grow conventional cotton. Growing cotton requires extensive irrigation systems. Meanwhile, the Eucalyptus trees used for TENCEL grow from natural rain water. Eucalyptus is grown on border-line agricultural land which cannot be used to grow agricultural crops. one important asset is, however, that the fiber yield of TENCEL® is ten times higher than conventional cotton.

Taking responsibility and saving resources.
