Federal Trade Commission Definition for Lyocell Fiber: A cellulose fiber obtained by an organic solvent spinning process where:
1) “organic solvent” means a mixture of organic chemicals and water, and
2) “solvent spinning” means dissolving and spinning without the formation of a derivative.

Although it is given a separate generic name, the FTC classifies Lyocell as a sub-category under “ Rayon.” (Complete FTC Fiber Rules here.)

Basic Principles of Lyocell Fiber Production — Raw cellulose is directly dissolved in an amine oxide solvent. The solution is filtered, extruded into an aqueous bath of dilute amine oxide, and coagulated into fiber form.
