Characteristics Of Modal Fiber

Modal English name: modal 。 Because of its good softness and excellent moisture absorption, but its poor fabric stiffness, products are now mostly used in the production of underwear. Modal knitted fabrics are mainly used to make underwear. But Modal has silver white luster, excellent dyeability and bright color after dyeing, which is enough to make it a talent for coats. Because of this, Modal has increasingly become the material of clothing and its decorative cloth. In order to improve the poor straightness of pure Modal products, Modal can be blended with other fibers to achieve good results. JM/C (50/50) can remedy this shortcoming. The blended fabric woven with this yarn makes the cotton fiber more flexible and improves the appearance of the fabric. Modal can also reflect its weaveability in the weaving process of woven fabrics, and can also interweave with other fiber yarns to weave various fabrics. It is a knitted fabric with broad development prospects in modern clothing.

　　 Characteristics of Modal fiber

The dry strength of Modal fiber is close to that of polyester, and the wet strength is much higher than that of ordinary viscose. The luster, softness, hygroscopicity, dyeability, and color fastness of Modal fiber are better than those of pure cotton products; The fabric made of it shows a silky luster, has a pleasant soft touch and drape feeling, and has excellent wear resistance. Modal fiber has a high wet modulus, and its yarn shrinkage is only about 1%, while the boiling shrinkage of viscose fiber yarn is as high as 6.5%. The high strength of Modal fiber makes it suitable for the production of ultra-fine fibers, and can also be spun on ring spinning, rotor spinning and rotor spinning machines, and can obtain almost defect free fine count yarn, which is suitable for weaving light and thin fabrics (such as 80g/m2 ultra-thin fabrics) and heavy fabrics. The ultra-thin fabrics produced have good strength, appearance, feel, drapability and processing performance, The produced heavy fabric is thick and not bulky. Modal (Modal) fiber can produce more uniform yarn, and can be blended with other fibers in different proportions, such as wool, cotton, linen, silk, polyester, etc., to obtain high-quality yarn.

Modal fiber can be processed by traditional pretreatment, bleaching and dyeing processes of cellulose fiber. The traditional dyes for dyeing cellulose fibers, such as direct dyes, reactive dyes, vat dyes, sulfur dyes and azo dyes, can be used for dyeing Modal fabrics with the same dye uptake, Modal fabric Its color is better, bright and bright. It can be mercerized when blended with cotton, and its dyeing is even, dense, and its color remains lasting. The good appearance of Modal fiber makes its fabric have the luster of silk, looks elegant, and greatly improves the grade of clothing; Good hand feel and drapability make clothes more elegant and portable; The extremely soft touch gives the fabric the reputation of second skin.

　 Modal fiber properties

1. The fineness of Modal fiber is 1 dtex, while that of cotton fiber is 1.5 '2.5 tex, and that of silk is 1.3 dtex.

2. Modal fiber is soft, bright and clean, with bright color. The fabric feels particularly smooth and smooth. The cloth surface has bright luster. The drapability is better than the existing cotton, polyester and rayon. It has silk like luster and feel, and is a natural mercerized fabric.

3. Modal fiber has the strength and toughness of synthetic fiber, with dry strength of 35.6cn and wet strength of 25.6cn. Its strength is higher than that of pure cotton and polyester cotton.

4. The moisture absorption capacity of modal fiber is 50% higher than that of cotton fiber, which makes modal fiber fabric dry and breathable. It is an ideal close fitting fabric and health care clothing product, which is conducive to the physiological cycle and health of the human body.

5. Compared with cotton fiber, Modal fiber has good shape and dimensional stability, which makes the fabric have natural wrinkle resistance and iron free property, making it more convenient and natural to wear.

　　6、 Modal fiber It has good dyeing performance and remains bright as new after repeated washing, and has thorough moisture absorption and good color fastness. Compared with pure cotton, it is more comfortable to wear, without the disadvantage of easy fading and yellowing of pure cotton clothing. Therefore, the fabric has bright colors and stable wearing performance. After 25 times of washing together with cotton fabric, the hand feeling will become harder and harder.
