Modal fiber is a kind of cellulose fiber. It is a cellulose fiber like rayon and is a pure man-made fiber. Made from wood slurry produced in European shrubs and then processed through a specialized spinning process, Modal products are mostly used in Production of underwear.
Lyocell fiber is a fiber obtained by organic solvent spinning process. It uses pulp formed by crushing renewable bamboo, wood, etc. as raw material. The advanced technology makes its solvent recovery rate as high as 99.7%, not only energy saving and environmental protection, but also sustainable development.
Both The differences are generally in the following aspects:
1. Different production processes
Modal: Made from wood slurry produced in European shrubs and then through a specialized spinning process, it is a High wet modulus regenerated cellulose fiber.
Lyocell: Made from the pulp formed by pounding natural plant fibers as raw materials, it is produced by organic solvent spinning. The advanced technology enables the solvent recovery rate to be as high as 99.7%, which is energy-saving, environmentally friendly and sustainable.
2. Different production characteristics
Modal: no pollution during the production process, physiologically harmless and biodegradable.
Lyocell: There is no chemical reaction in the production process, the solvent used is non-toxic, the waste is biodegradable, and the production process is simple. It can not only save petroleum resources, but also meet environmental protection requirements.
3. Different fabric characteristics
Modal: soft to touch, smooth, bright color, good color fastness, the fabric feels particularly smooth, the cloth surface is bright and shiny, and its drape is better than existing cotton and polyester , good viscose fiber, with the strength and toughness of synthetic fibers, silk-like luster and feel, its fabrics are wrinkle-resistant and non-ironing, and have good water absorption and breathability.
Lyocell: It has many excellent properties of natural fibers and synthetic fibers. It has natural luster, smooth feel, high strength, basically does not shrink, and has good moisture and air permeability. It is soft, comfortable, smooth and cool, and has good drapeability. Good, durable and durable.
4. Different application fields
Modal: Knitted fabrics are mainly used to make underwear, but also used in sportswear, casual wear, shirts, high-end garment fabrics, etc. Blending with other fibers can improve the stiffness of pure Modal products.
Lyocell: covering all fields of textile, whether it is cotton, wool, silk, linen products, or knitting or woven products, it can produce high-quality and high-end products.
