What are the characteristics of Modal fiber

The characteristics of Modal fiber

(1) Modal has the characteristics of high strength fiber uniformity, wet strength is about 50% of dry strength, better than the performance of viscose, with good spinnability and weaving.

(2) Modal fiber has a high wet modulus, and the shrinkage rate of its yarn is only about 1%, while the boiling water shrinkage rate of viscose fiber yarn is as high as 6.5%.

(3) The high strength of Modal fiber makes it suitable for the production of microfibers, and can also be spun on the ring spindle, rotating cup and airflow spinning machine, and can get almost flawless fine yarn, suitable for weaving thin fabrics (such as 80g/m2 ultra-thin fabric) and heavy fabrics, the strength of the production of ultra-thin fabric, appearance, feel, draping and processing performance is good, The heavy fabric produced is heavy but not bloated.

(4) Modal fiber spinning can produce a more uniform strip, and other fibers can be mixed in different proportions, such as wool, cotton, hemp, silk, polyester, etc., can get high-quality yarn.

(5) Modal fiber can be processed by traditional cellulose fiber pretreatment, bleaching and dyeing processes. Traditional dyes for cellulose fiber dyeing, such as direct dyes, reactive dyes, VAT dyes, sulfur dyes and azo dyes can be used for Modal fabric dyeing, and the same dyeing rate, Modal fabric color is better, bright and bright, and cotton blend can be mercerized, and dyeing uniform, dense, color to maintain lasting.

(6) The good appearance of Modal fiber makes its fabric have a silk-like luster, which is graceful and luxurious, greatly improving the grade of clothing; Good hand feel and drape, make the clothing appear more elegant, more portable; The extremely soft touch gives the fabric the reputation of second skin.
