Modal is a highly popular regenerated cellulose fiber, which can be considered an upgraded version of viscose fiber (artificial cotton). It originates from natural wood (usually beech wood), but undergoes modern eco-friendly processing techniques.
Core features (advantages)
Ultimate softness and top-notch skin-friendliness: These are the most prominent advantages of modal. Its texture is as smooth as silk, providing extreme comfort when worn close to the skin, earning it the title of "the second skin of the human body". It is highly suitable for making underwear, loungewear, T-shirts, and bedding products.
Excellent moisture wicking and breathability: As a cellulose fiber, its moisture wicking ability is about 50% higher than that of cotton, allowing it to quickly absorb and expel sweat from the body, keeping the skin dry and comfortable. It is ideal for summer wear or sports and leisure activities.
Excellent draping and gloss: The fabric is smooth and wrinkle-resistant, resulting in garments with sleek lines and a soft, natural luster, giving them a sense of quality.
Vibrant colors and excellent color fastness: The fiber structure makes it easy to dye, resulting in bright and durable colors that are resistant to fading even after multiple washes.
Environmentally friendly and degradable: The raw materials are sourced from sustainably managed forests, and the production process is relatively environmentally friendly (especially for brands that adopt closed-loop processes such as Lenzing Modal). The final product can be completely decomposed under natural conditions.
