TENCEL™ Lyocell and Micro Modal
TENCEL™ Lyocell and Micro Modal: Redefining Sustainable Children's Textiles
Why TENCEL™: The Science Behind BABICLO's BabiCloud™ Fabric
TENCEL™ Micro Modal and TENCEL™ Lyocell represent breakthrough innovations in botanical fiber technology, forming the foundation of BABICLO's proprietary BabiCloud™ fabric blend. Produced by Lenzing AG in Austria, these cellulosic fibers undergo rigorous testing and certification to deliver measurable performance advantages that synthetic and conventional natural fibers simply cannot match.
BabiCloud™ Modal: Our Signature 95% TENCEL™ Micro Modal Innovation
BABICLO's BabiCloud™ Modal features 95% TENCEL™ Micro Modal combined with 5% biodegradable elastane, creating an intelligent textile engineered specifically for Gulf climate conditions. TENCEL™ Micro Modal fibers measure significantly finer than standard Modal, producing a fabric 50% softer than cotton while maintaining exceptional durability. This composition powers our children's underwear collection, delivering clinical-grade hypoallergenic properties verified through OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I certification.
The Closed-Loop Advantage: Environmental Metrics That Matter
TENCEL™ Lyocell production achieves 99.6% solvent recovery through Lenzing's patented closed-loop manufacturing process—a benchmark rarely discussed but critical to understanding genuine sustainability. This process uses 20 times less water than conventional cotton cultivation and generates 50% lower carbon emissions. Both TENCEL™ Lyocell and TENCEL™ Micro Modal originate from FSC and PEFC certified forests, ensuring zero contribution to deforestation while supporting responsible forestry management.
Performance Characteristics: Why Fiber Structure Matters
TENCEL™ fibers feature hydrophilic properties that absorb moisture 50% more efficiently than cotton, then release it through superior breathability. This moisture management prevents bacterial growth naturally—independent laboratory testing confirms TENCEL™ fibers inhibit bacterial proliferation that causes odor. The smooth fiber surface reduces skin friction by 40%, making BabiCloud™ Modal ideal for extended wear scenarios and medically sensitive skin conditions including atopic dermatitis.
From Sleepwear to Everyday Essentials
Our romper made with TENCEL™ Lyocell showcases this fiber's versatility, while BabiCloud™ Modal underwear demonstrates TENCEL™ Micro Modal's superiority for garments requiring maximum softness. Both materials maintain structural integrity through 50+ wash cycles while conventional fabrics deteriorate significantly.
Certification-Backed Quality
Every BABICLO product using TENCEL™ fibers carries Lenzing certification numbers, ensuring supply chain traceability from Austrian production facilities to Portuguese manufacturing partners. EU Ecolabel certification validates these fibers meet Europe's strictest environmental criteria across their entire lifecycle.
