Understanding New Materials - Modal Fiber

Modal has better softness and good hygroscopicity and is increasingly used in the textile industry. Here's an introduction to modal fibers.

1. Introduction of Modal Fiber

Modal, also known as Modal, is a cellulose regenerated fiber of high-moment modulus viscose fiber developed by the Lenzing company in Austria. Its raw material is shrubs grown in Europe and made into a thumb pulp. It is made of a special spinning process and is a kind of cellulose fiber, so it is a kind of pure natural fiber like cotton. Pure natural Modal is a kind of cellulose regenerated fiber of high-viscosity viscose fiber. The raw material of this fiber is spruce, wood pulp made of eucalyptus, processed into fiber through special spinning process. The raw materials of this product are all natural materials, which are harmless to the human body and can be naturally decomposed and harmless to the environment.

2. Modal fibre characteristics

The modal fiber is characterized by combining the luxurious texture of natural fibers with the practicality of synthetic fibers. With cotton's soft, silky luster, hemp smooth, and its water absorption, breathability is better than cotton, with a higher dyeing rate, the fabric is bright and full color. Modal fibers can be blended and interwoven with a variety of fibers, such as cotton, hemp, and silk, to enhance the quality of these fabrics, so that the fabrics can remain soft, smooth, and play their own characteristics of fiber to achieve better results.

3. Modal fiber application

Modal fibers can be either pure or blended with other fibers. The fabrics are both organic and knitted. Modal and wool blends can produce upscale worsted wool fabrics. Modal and polyester-cotton fabrics can produce all kinds of high-grade clothing, feel smooth, comfortable to wear, and good drape. Modal is blended with polyester and spandex to make the fabric breathe moisture-absorbent and stiff. Modal, TENCEL, cotton interwoven satin cloth is stylish and comfortable. Modal and spandex knitted fabrics can produce swimwear, sportswear and casual wear with excellent elasticity and stiffness. Modal and milk fiber blended knitted fabrics are soft, breathable and skin-friendly. The high strength of modal fibers makes it suitable for the production of ultra-fine fibers, fine denier modal yarns can be woven into high-grade fabrics such as artificial silk, peach skin, etc.; can produce light and elegant fabrics can produce ladies underwear and pajamas, with silky Feel, breathable, and good drape.

4. Modal fiber washing method

4.1 Washing with immersion when washing, soaking time can not exceed 15 minutes

4.2 The viscose fiber fabric will harden in water, the fiber structure is not firm, and it must be lightly washed to avoid lint or tear.

4.3 Neutral detergent or low alkali detergent, the temperature of the washing liquid can not exceed 35 degrees;

4.4 The clothes should be stacked after washing, squeeze out a lot of moisture, avoid twisting, so as to avoid excessive shape;

4.5 After washing in the lotion, first wash it with clean warm water and then wash it with cold water. Otherwise, there will be a part of the detergent on the clothes, which is not easy to wash down and make the light-colored clothes yellow;

4.6 Avoid sun exposure after washing
