Shoeller Textiles, the leading manufacturer of functional fabrics, presents new fashionably styled lifestyle fabrics with the botanical Tencel fibre that is said to offer silkiness and soft feel, flowing drape and the unique clothing comfort.
Outstanding moisture absorption combined with optimum skin sensory properties guarantee a feeling of wellbeing, the manufacturer reports.
With great level of softness, the new bi-elastic schoeller-shape qualities are offered in classic plain colours, denim-inspired or organically-structured fantasy prints.
An additional option of the water repellent fabric consisting of a blend of the environment-friendly Tencel performance fibre and polyamide or polyester is ideal for fashion applications, the company believes.
Tencel is a performance fibre of botanical origin, as it is made from wood. The production of the fibres is environment friendly and accomplished within a closed cycle.
Produced by Lenzing, Tencel fibre technology is said to offer alternative to materials like cotton, silk and linen in terms of its performance characteristics, such as absorbency, softness and cool feel.
Schoeller Textil AG specializes in the development and manufacturing of functional fabrics and smart textile technologies for the areas of active sports, workwear and lifestyle.
The company has been in family ownership since 1868 and in order to secure its long-term future, Schoeller invests heavily in innovation and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Swiss Technology Award for its iLoad technology in November 2011.
