TENCEL® SUN - Botanic sun protection
TENCEL® SUN is the outdoor fiber for discerning demands. It is by nature ideal for clothing in which moisture absorption plays a role. The fiber offers a wide range of functions for sports clothing such as perfect moisture management, skin friendliness and temperature balance. Thanks to an incorporated sun protection agent, TENCEL® SUN is the ultimate fiber for activewear and outdoor clothing.
Permanent protection from the sun
The integrated sun protection remains active even after repeated washing.
Permanent pigment incorporation accounts for the functionality of TENCEL® SUN. The pigment comes from minerals and provides a long-term protection from solar radiation. Even after washing the clothing several times, TENCEL® SUN maintains its effectiveness.Tests show that a UV protection factor (UPF) of up to 110 can be reached.
Unique function
A patent has been filed for TENCEL® SUN due to its unique swelling properties.
- TENCEL® dry
- TENCEL® wet
The TENCEL® fiber has several positive properties. One unique function is the swelling of the fiber which enables clothing made with TENCEL® SUN to scarcely lose its sun protection during outdoor sporting activities. Conventional fabrics can lose up to 50 % of their sun protection when they become damp and stretched.
TENCEL® the ultimate sports fiber
TENCEL® the multi-functional fiber now also with sun protection.
TENCEL® can be used universally – both in the high activity and the sports lifestyle sector. Moisture management, optimum skin-sensory properties and reduced bacterial growth are fused with solar protection and explain why sports clothes made of TENCEL® SUN represent a superior multi-functional alternative.
The unique solar protection fiber of botanic origin
TENCEL® SUN offers botanic sun protection.
TENCEL® SUN is made from wood and is 100 % bio-degradable. The fiber is therefore the perfect alternative to polyester fibers and conventionally finished fabrics with solar protection. TENCEL® SUN clocks up points due to the permanent solar protection, which cannot be washed out, and with a manufacturing process based on botanic principles. These reasons make TENCEL® SUN the botanic bodyguard for our skin.
