Where Color Meets Sustainability and Innovation

In the world of textiles, where color and sustainability intersect, innovation takes the form of Indigo. This remarkable one-step spun-dyeing process incorporates indigo pigment into TENCEL™ Modal fibers, heralding a new era of fabric technology. It doesn’t just deliver striking, long-lasting indigo hues; it also brings a host of environmental benefits that redefine the textile industry’s standards.

The Magic of TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo Color Technology

TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo Color technology represents a significant leap forward in sustainable textile production. Traditional indigo dyeing processes are resource-intensive and often environmentally taxing. In contrast, this groundbreaking innovation aligns color, convenience, and eco-consciousness.

Eco-Friendly Marvel:

  • Botanic Origin: TENCEL™ Modal fibers at the heart of this technology are sourced from sustainable, botanic origins, making it a conscientious choice for environmentally aware consumers.

  • Sustainable Production: This technology boasts a smaller carbon footprint as compared to conventional indigo dyeing. It’s a game-changer in water, chemical, and energy conservation, all while reducing overall waste generation. In essence, it combines style with sustainability, proving that fashion can coexist harmoniously with eco-responsibility.

  • Breathability Bonus: TENCEL™ Modal fibers, a key component of this technology, contribute to the breathability of fabrics. This means that your clothing not only looks and feels good but keeps you comfortable in various climates.

Certified Safe:

Safety is paramount in textiles, and the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification verifies that TENCEL™ Modal fibers have undergone rigorous testing. This certification ensures that the fibers are free from numerous regulated and non-regulated harmful substances, providing peace of mind for wearers.

Color that Endures:

One remarkable aspect of TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo Color technology is its impressive color retention. When compared to conventionally dyed indigo fibers, it excels in dry and wet crocking and rubbing tests. This means your indigo-hued clothing will stay vibrant and attractive for much longer.

Customizable Commercial Laundry Effects:

For those who appreciate the well-loved, washed-out denim look, TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo Color technology is versatile. It allows for the application of commercial denim laundry techniques to achieve specific wash-down effects, ensuring your style remains uniquely yours.

Considerations and Possibilities:

  • Ring Spun Yarns: To fully realize the intense indigo color potential, the process works best with ring spun yarns.

  • Percentage Matters: For the richest indigo shades, a minimum of 50% Indigo Modal is recommended.

  • Abrasive Washes: Creating washed-out effects may involve abrasive washes, which can result in pilling in some cases.

Note: Depending on the fabric and final finish, some restrictions may apply, but each case will be evaluated individually.

In conclusion, TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo Color technology exemplifies the marriage of sustainability and style. It redefines the boundaries of what textiles can achieve, showing that vibrant, enduring color can harmonize with eco-responsible practices. This innovation isn’t just about fashion; it’s about transforming the textile industry for a brighter, more sustainable future.
