Summer is coming, and you may be wondering how to make the most of the long sunny days without getting too hot. Comfort, ease, and ventilation are key factors in choosing summer clothing, and opting for smooth, absorbent fibers can make all the difference. Modal is a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber, classified as a type of artificial silk. Modal has 50% higher absorbency than cotton, with excellent moisture-wicking properties that leave you feeling cool and refreshed. Modal is naturally smooth and soft, making it perfect for warm temperatures.
Modal, also known as modal fabric, gets its name from the word "modal" in French, which means "model." It comes from European beech trees, and is made through a process of pulping and spinning. The raw material is 100% natural, harmless to humans, and naturally decomposes, making it environmentally friendly. Fabric made from a blend of modal, cotton, and polyester has a silky sheen, good drape, soft and smooth hand feel, excellent dimensional stability and durability. Modal fabrics are widely used in women's coats, underwear, sportswear, and home textiles.
Modal clothes are made from natural wood, and can naturally decompose after use. Modal fibers are soft, smooth, bright in color, and have a particularly smooth hand feel, with a smooth surface and bright luster that is superior to existing cotton, polyester, and synthetic fibers. It has a silky sheen and hand feel, making it a natural silk fabric. Modal fabric has the strength and toughness of synthetic fibers, with a dry strength of 35.6cn and a wet strength of 25.6cn. Its strength is higher than pure cotton and cotton/polyester blends, reducing the incidence of breakage during processing.
Modal clothes have 50% higher moisture-wicking ability than cotton fibers, making modal fabric dry and breathable. It is an ideal fabric for close-fitting clothing and bedding, promoting physiological circulation and health. Compared to cotton fibers, modal fabric has good shape and size stability, giving it natural wrinkle resistance and easy care for more convenient and natural wear. Modal fibers have excellent dyeing properties, retaining their brightness and color fastness even after repeated washing. Compared to pure cotton clothing, modal clothing is more comfortable to wear, with no fading or yellowing defects. Therefore, the fabric is bright in color and stable in wearing performance. After 25 washes, pure cotton fabric often becomes stiff to the touch, while modal fabric becomes softer and brighter when washed with water.
