Lyocell, Modal or Viscose?

Lyocell, Modal or Viscose?

Here’s the difference and why we choose TENCEL™ Lyocell.

A scenic coastal landscape with large tan rocks on a sandy shore, blue water, and a cloudy sky. White overlaid text reads: 'LYOCELL, MODAL OR VISCOSE? Here's the difference and why we choose TENCEL™ Lyocell BY BAUME Journal.Viscose, modal, and lyocell are all made from wood pulp.

The difference lies in how they’re produced.

VISCOSE

Produced through a process that is typically energy, water, and chemical-intensive.

MODAL

Similar to viscose but generally requires less energy, water, and chemicals during production.

LYOCELL

Produced using a non-toxic solvent in a closed-loop system, which recycles nearly all solvent used. 

This process generally requires less water and energy.

TENCEL™ Lyocell

A brand of lyocell fibres by Lenzing, which recovers 99.8% of the solvent used, fibers sourced from controlled or certified origins meeting FSC® or PEFC standards. 

Our lounge- underwear are made of TENCEL™ Lyocell.
