What kind of fabric is Modal
Modal (Modal) is a man-made fiber. It is relatively friendly to the human body and generally does not irritate human skin and cause allergies. This man-made fiber is made from shrubs made into wood pulp. It is made after processing and is often used to produce long-sleeved, bra and other close-fitting clothing, and has become rapidly popular in recent years. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of modal fabrics? Let us solve this doubt for everyone.
Advantages of Modal fabric
1. Modal will not cause pollution to the environment during the production and processing process. It is a natural, pollution-free and environmentally friendly fabric.
2. Modal fabric has a soft texture and excellent hygroscopicity. This feature allows Modal to be used in close-fitting clothing.
3. The fabric has bright color and very comfortable feel. Its drape and gloss are no less than those of natural fibers such as cotton and silk.
4. Modal is produced from wood, so the fabric can be degraded naturally.
5. Modal fabric has high elasticity and toughness, with dry and wet strengths of 35.6cn and 25.6cn respectively, so It can greatly reduce the phenomenon of broken ends during processing.
6. Modal has good anti-wrinkle and non-iron properties, and the fabric is very convenient for daily care. This is one of the reasons why modal fabric is more popular, and it is more commonly used in underwear, underwear, pajamas, etc.
Disadvantages of Modal fabric
1. Because the extraction and production and processing of Modal raw materials require a lot of costs, the price of the fabric will be relatively high.
2. Fading may occur after exposure to strong light, so Modal is not suitable for the production of outerwear, jackets and other clothing.
3. Modal is not very wide, so do not twist this type of fabric too hard when washing, otherwise the fabric will be deformed.
What is the difference between modal and pure cotton?
1. Modal has better sweat absorption and breathability than cotton. The key is that it is not prone to pilling.
2. Modal fabric is relatively simple to care for, and the fabric surface is relatively flat and requires little ironing.
3. Its dye uptake rate is higher than that of pure cotton, the color is full and beautiful, and it is not prone to yellowing or fading.
4. Modal, like pure cotton, can be blended with other fibers according to needs.
