Consumer test results comparing top-sheet with Tencel vs. 100% PP shared by Lenzing

TENCEL? BIOSOFT, an ultra-soft hydrophobic Lyocell fiber type in the top-sheet of incontinence products, was shown to provide more comfort to group of participants who tested the product. The results were presented by Lenzing at the “Outlook in Barcelona” conference organized by Edana in September.

Working with Hygiene Technologie GmbH (Germany), Lenzing conducted a wear test in which 53 people tested an incontinence product with a top-sheet of 100% polypropylene and one with a top-sheet of a Tencel Biosoft blend for four weeks each. The results were analyzed by the Joanneum Research Forschungs GmbH, a research institute in Austria.

Top marks were awarded to the Lyocell blend, with the performance of the product itself was given a positive rating as were the properties which led to a better feeling on the skin. Participants using the Tencel Biosoft whose  likelihood of sleeping through the night rose by approximately 10%, since this product needed to be changed less frequently due to the additional wear comfort.

Results indicate that Tencel Biosoft  translates directly into improved incontinence products. “A survey of affected parties revealed that among otherwise healthy human beings, the burden of incontinence leads to restrictions in everyday life and each improvement in this situation positively impacts well-being,” said Elisabeth Stanger, global director of Hygiene at Lenzing.

The study will be presented to the Asian market at the upcoming Outlook Asia from November 26-27 in Singapore.
