LENZING, Austria, October 18, 2018-

The Lenzing Group (Lenzing) has announced the launch of a new VEOCEL™ Lyocell fiber with Eco Disperse technology which is designed for use in flushable wipes. This new fiber demonstrates enhanced biological disintegration performance. The inclusion of this new fiber enables more diverse design opportunities while providing exemplary wet strength and disintegration performance. Versatile and tailor-made for daily care routines, the new VEOCEL™ Lyocell fiber with Lenzing’s Eco Disperse technology offers optimized flushability and represents the most advanced fiber under the VEOCEL™ brand portfolio.

With botanic origin, all VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers with Eco Disperse technology feature strong wet strength, biodegradability and effective liquid management. These cellulosic fibers come in cut lengths of 8 mm to 12 mm, and are versatile for blending ratios of 20% - 40% in most wetlaid processing technologies. Nonwoven products featuring a blend containing any of the VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers with Eco Disperse technology and wood pulp have been certified as “fully flushable” per INDA/EDANA[1] Guidelines for Assessing the Flushability of Disposable Nonwoven Products issued in May 2018, after passing seven rigorous industrial tests.
