lenzing-1 Areas of Expertise
Lyocell technology; viscose and modal fibres; structure and properties, testing, scale-up to commercial production of laboratory/pilot-plant processes; environmental aspects of fiber production; textile comfort.
 
Facilities
The research headquarters runs chemical laboratories, pilot plants for pulp and man-made fibre production by the viscose, modal and lyocell processes from laboratory size to pre-commercial level, and a textile chain commercial-size pilot plant including yarn spinning, fabric weaving, and dyehouse equipment. Lenzing is one of the world-leading institutions for research and technology in wood chemistry and cellulose fibre chemistry, and the only manufacturer world-wide uniting all three generations of man-made cellulosic fibres – viscose, modal, lyocell.
