Updated on Oct. 31, 2026 in Fashion
Lenzing and Kaihara Corporation released the REMOD Collection, featuring three types of TENCEL Lyocell fibre for denim. The range includes HV100, dtex 2.2 and standard TENCEL Lyocell.
Why it matters
The collection reflects expanding adoption of Lenzing's HV100 fibre, which has grown from 17 mills in five countries to nearly 50 mills in 13 countries. The partnership between Lenzing and Kaihara dates back to the 1990s.
TENCEL Lyocell dtex 2.2 uses 51 mm fibres, while HV100 uses Variocut technology that varies fibre length. HV100 can be processed with existing machinery, process steps and chemicals, according to Lenzing.

Industry Dynamics
