Zero-Twist

Where It All Began

Solucell® was born to reinvent the way towels are made — a filament yarn engineered specifically for zero-twist production, offering a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional methods.

While zero-twist towels have long been prized for their unmatched softness and absorbency, their conventional process depends on PVA-based soluble materials, often linked to environmental concerns and chemical residues. Solucell® replaced those substances with a safe, water-soluble solution, preserving the luxurious touch of zero-twist while reducing impact and simplifying production.

Today, this technology extends beyond towels, inspiring new applications in apparel that combine softness, performance, and sustainability in every thread.

Cleaner Production, Smarter Process

Solucell® is the ideal solution to replace PVA in zero-twist towel production — combining sustainability, efficiency, and quality in one innovation.
Its soluble nature, finer composition, and eco-friendly properties make it the perfect choice for crafting luxurious, soft, and long-lasting towels while reducing waste and environmental impact.

Beyond eliminating PVA, Solucell® enhances every stage of production:
• Requires up to 55% less soluble material, ensuring high quality with greater sustainability.
• Features a flexible dissolving process — compatible with low-temperature or bleaching stages, saving both water and energy.
• Achieves over 35% solid waste reduction, improving overall efficiency.
• Produces non-sticky powder waste, simplifying ETP handling and lowering maintenance costs.
• Delivers up to 50% lower COD discharge, reducing the load on ETP systems and supporting cleaner, more sustainable water management.
• Generates no harmful by-products such as formaldehyde, making Solucell® zero-twist towels OEKO-TEX® certifiable and safe for consumers.

With Solucell®, manufacturers can achieve the same premium softness and absorbency that define zero-twist towels — but through a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable process.

Zero-Twist for Apparel

From home to apparel, the softness of Solucell® technology now meets the needs of everyday clothing.
By integrating Zero-Twist yarns into knits and wovens, fabrics gain a naturally soft, full hand-feel with less brushing and reduced fiber loss — a step forward in both comfort and sustainability.

In applications such as the back-loops of French terry, Solucell® replaces conventional blended or synthetic yarns, eliminating microplastics while providing superior moisture management and a cozy, adaptive touch.
The same Zero-Twist cotton yarns can also be used as natural padding, ensuring fully cotton-based, breathable, and recyclable fabrics — ideal for those seeking performance without compromise.

Thanks to its clean-soluble technology, Solucell® avoids the use of complex auxiliary substances required in conventional processes, ensuring safer production and a lower environmental footprint.
Light, smooth, and responsible — Zero-Twist for Apparel redefines how natural fibers feel, perform, and protect the planet.
