Modal fiber is indeed a type of viscose fiber and is a synthetic fiber. But don’t be fooled by the name viscose fiber. It’s actually just Hello Kitty in wolf’s clothing. Modal is a famous green vitamin. It is not chemical fiber. Let me talk about the reason why it is called green fiber.
First of all it is not chemical fiber. It is actually a very natural material. It is made from wood slurry produced in European shrubs and then processed through a special spinning process. To be precise, it should be called human regenerated cellulose fiber. Chemical fibers refer to fibers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic that are extracted by petrochemical technology. All are synthetic. There are essential differences between viscose fiber and chemical fiber.
Why is it called green fiber? How is it better than pure cotton fabric?
1. The raw material of modal fiber comes from natural wood and can be naturally degraded after use.
2. Modal fiber is soft, smooth and bright in color. The fabric feels particularly soft and the cloth surface has bright luster. Its drape is better than the existing cotton, polyester and rayon, and it has luster and hand feel.
3. Modal fiber has the strength and toughness of synthetic fibers, which reduces breakage during processing.
4. The moisture absorption capacity of Modal fiber is 50% higher than that of cotton fiber, which can keep you dry and breathable. It is an ideal close-fitting fabric and health-care apparel product, which is beneficial to the human body’s physiological circulation and health.
5. Compared with cotton fiber, Modal fiber has good morphological and dimensional stability, making the fabric naturally wrinkle-resistant and non-ironing, making it more convenient and natural to wear.
6. Modal fiber has better dyeing performance and remains as bright as new after many washes. It is also moisture-absorbent and has good color fastness. Compared with pure cotton, it is more comfortable to wear and has no pure cotton clothing. Disadvantages of easy fading and yellowing.
To sum up, when choosing clothes, you should not only look at the design, but also the fabric. After all, health comes first. Viscose fiber is a large family, and high-end fabrics such as Tencel, bamboo fiber, and carbon fiber all belong to viscose fiber. I especially love Tencel fabric, which has the same feel as silk fabric at the lowest price. Modal is even more of a dark horse. Since Modal came out, all my underwear has been replaced by Modal, which is comfortable and breathable.
