At the “Outlook in Barcelona” conference organized by EDANA, Lenzing made an important presentation about hygiene products area. The company shared results of consumer tests and emphasized that they formed an attractive solution in incontinence products.
In cooperation with the German company, Hygiene Technology GmbH, Lenzing conducted a wear test which was analyzed by the Austrian Research Institute, Joanneum Research ForschungsGmbH. Fifty-three 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 result was unequivocal: the TENCEL® BIOSOFT blend was awarded top marks. The performance of the product itself was given a positive rating as were the properties which led to a better feeling on the skin.
Elisabeth Stanger, Global Director of Hygiene at Lenzing said that the 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. Lenzing is faithful to sustainability while the company’s TENCEL® and TENCEL® Biosoft fibres meets ecological standards with biological solubility in nature.
