Material Dossier -- 2026

TENCEL™ Lyocell

The high solvent-recovery rate belongs to this branded process, not to lyocell generally; generic fibre from an uncertified mill may recover materially less. FSC covers pulp origin only, so a supplier answering on forestry has not answered on solvent recovery.

Known Limits

Documented Constraints & Untested Conditions

The recovery rate is a property of this branded process, not of lyocell as a generic fibre. Generic lyocell from an uncertified mill may run a materially lower recovery rate. FSC covers pulp origin, not solvent recovery — two separate questions, and a supplier answering one is not answering the other.

No independent test record on file. Material Primer has not bench-tested this product. The figures above are the supplier’s own published specification. Treat them as a starting point for your own testing, not as verified performance.

Verification Boundary -- What This Page Does Not Claim

This dossier compiles the supplier's published specification, the stated scope of certificates held, and referenced standards. It does not represent independent laboratory testing, production batch monitoring, or transaction data. Suitability judgements derive from the documents above, not from bench tests.
