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, the cloth surface is bright and the drape is better than the existing cotton, polyester and polyester fibers. The cotton is nice, shiny and feels.
3. Modal fiber has the strength and toughness of synthetic fibers, reducing 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 shape and dimensional stability, which makes the fabric have natural wrinkle resistance and non-iron properties, making it easier to wear. More convenient and natural.
6. Modal fiber has good dyeing performance and remains bright and new after multiple washings. It also absorbs moisture thoroughly and has good color fastness, which is similar to pure cotton. Compared with pure cotton clothing, it is more comfortable to wear and does not have the disadvantages of easy fading and yellowing of pure cotton clothing.
To sum up, when choosing clothes, everyone 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.
