Modal and viscose are both synthetic fiber materials and have some similar properties, but there are also some differences. Here are some comparisons between them:
1. Source of raw materials:
Modal: Modal is made of natural cellulose fiber (usually wood Pulp) synthetic fiber made by chemical treatment.
Viscose fiber: Viscose fiber is made from cellulose fibers (usually wood pulp, cotton, etc.) that are chemically dissolved and then spun.
2. Comfort and feel:
Modal: Modal has excellent softness and comfort, smooth hand feel, and good hygroscopicity and breathability.
Viscose fiber: Viscose fiber is soft and comfortable, smooth to the touch, and has good hygroscopicity and breathability.
3. Strength and durability:
Modal: Modal has higher strength, good wear resistance and is more durable.
Viscose fiber: The strength of viscose fiber is slightly lower than modal, but it also has a certain degree of durability.
4. Wrinkle resistance:
Modal: Modal fiber has good wrinkle resistance and can maintain the smoothness of clothing.
Viscose fiber: Viscose fiber has poorer wrinkle resistance than modal and is prone to wrinkles.
5. Dyeability:
Modal: Modal fiber has good dyeability and the color is bright and lasting.
Viscose fiber: Viscose fiber also has good dyeability, but the color may fade slightly compared to modal.
In general, modal and viscose are high-quality synthetic fiber materials, which are soft, comfortable, moisture-absorbent and breathable. Which material to choose depends mainly on personal needs and preferences, as well as the specific application scenario.
