Modal and viscose are both synthetic fibers, but their production raw materials, physical properties, uses, etc. are different.
First of all, the raw material for modal production is natural wood pulp, while viscose fiber uses chemical cellulose (such as wood, cotton, etc.) as raw material. Since the raw material of Modal comes from natural wood pulp, its production process is more environmentally friendly and will not cause much impact on the environment. In contrast, the production process of viscose fiber involves chemical reactions, which may produce some harmful substances and cause more serious environmental pollution.
Secondly, modal has better physical properties than viscose. Modal has the characteristics of high strength, high elasticity, high hygroscopicity, etc., and at the same time, it feels soft and comfortable, has good breathability and high wearing comfort. The physical properties of viscose fiber are relatively poor, with low strength, easy to break, hard feel, not breathable, and poor wearing experience.
Finally, the uses of the two are also different. Modal is mainly used to make high-end clothing, bedding, home textiles, etc. because it has a soft feel, good breathability, high wearing comfort, and is suitable for use in contact with the skin. Viscose fiber is mainly used to make daily clothing, fabrics, carpets, etc. Because it has low strength and is not suitable for withstanding excessive tensile force, it is relatively cheap and suitable for mass production.
In short, modal and viscose are common synthetic fibers. They are different in terms of raw materials, physical properties, uses, etc., and they need to be made according to the Choose the right material for your specific needs.
