Modal's uses, strengths, weaknesses, features, fabric maintenance are all collected!

Modal is a kind of cellulose regenerated fiber with a high wet modulus viscose fiber. The raw material of the fiber is spruce and wood pulp made of eucalyptus. The fiber is processed into fibers by a special spinning process. The raw materials of this product are all natural materials, which are harmless to the human body and can be naturally decomposed and harmless to the environment. Modal fiber is made of a special spinning process after being made into a wood pulp and is a kind of cellulose fiber, so it belongs to the same cellulose fiber as cotton. There is no pollution in the entire production process of the fiber. Its dry strength is close to polyester, its wet strength is much better than that of ordinary viscose, its gloss, softness, hygroscopicity, dyeability, and color fastness are all superior to those of pure cotton products; the fabric made of it is shown A silk gloss with a pleasant soft touch and drape and excellent resistance to wear.

Modal's products have good softness and good moisture absorption, but their fabrics are poorly stiffened. Modal can be used as a coat because of its silvery luster, excellent dyeability and bright color after dyeing. Because of this, Modal has increasingly become a material for outerwear and its decorative cloths. In order to improve the poor rigidity of pure Modal products, Modal can be blended with other fibers and can achieve good results. JM/C (50/50) can make up for this shortcoming. Blended fabrics made from this yarn make cotton fibers more compliant and improve the appearance of the fabric. Modal can also exhibit its weavability during weaving of woven fabrics, and it can also be interwoven with yarns of other fibers to weave a wide variety of fabrics. Modal products have broad prospects for development in modern clothing and apparel.

Second, characteristics:

Modal as a very healthy and environmentally friendly fabric is not less characteristic, Modal has the characteristics of high strength fiber uniformity, good spinnability and textile, can be processed and dyed by traditional methods. Modal fabrics have excellent water absorption and breathability, soft and smooth, comfortable and flat.

Modal is mainly used in the manufacture of personal clothing and home textiles. Its soft and smooth characteristics will make people wear very healthy and comfortable. It can also be blended with other materials to form different fabrics.

Third, use:

Fine-denier modal fibers meet the requirements of the ECO-TEX standard and are physiologically harmless and biodegradable. For textiles in direct contact with the body, it has particular advantages, and the fine denier fibers give the knitted fabric a comfortable wearing appearance, a soft touch, a flowing drape, a charming luster and a high hygroscopicity. Because of this, many warp-knitted and weft-knitted production plants have begun to use the fiber as raw materials for the production of daywear and pajamas, sportswear and casual wear, but also for lace. This fabric, when combined with other personal clothing, has a particularly desirable effect, so that your skin can always maintain a dry and comfortable feeling. Even if it is washed, it can still maintain a water absorption and light and soft feeling, which depends on the smoothness of the material surface. The surface avoids the entanglement of the fibers during the washing process.

Fourth, advantages:

1, fiber fineness

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

2, feel

Textiles are extracted from natural plants. They are good for the human body and have smooth, delicate and drape. Modal fabrics are smooth, delicate, smooth and have natural silk effect. . Whether air permeability or water absorption is good, excellent drape.

3, fiber uniformity

Modal has the characteristics of high strength fiber uniformity, wet strength is about 50% of dry strength, superior to the performance of viscose, has better spinnability and weaving properties. The wet and dry strengths of viscose, Modal and cotton are shown in the table:

4, wet modulus

Modal fibers have higher wet moduli, the shrinkage of their yarns is only about 1%, and viscose fiber yarns have boiling water shrinkage as high as 6.5%. Its hygroscopicity and breathability are superior to pure cotton fabrics. It is an ideal close-fitting fabric and health-care product, which is beneficial to the human physiological cycle and health. Modal fiber absorbs 50% more moisture than cotton fibers, making Modal fabrics dry and breathable. It is an ideal close-fitting fabric and health care product, which is beneficial to the human body's physiological circulation and health.

5, fiber strength

The high strength of Modal fiber makes it suitable for the production of microfibers, it can also be spun on ring, rotor and rotor spinning machines, and it can obtain almost flawless fine support yarns suitable for weaving lightweight fabrics ( Such as 80g/m2 ultra-thin fabrics) and heavy fabrics, the ultra-thin fabrics produced have good strength, appearance, feel, drapability and processability, and the heavy fabrics produced are heavy and not bloated.

6, can be blended

Modal fiber spinning produces more uniform strands and can be blended with other fibers in different proportions. For example, wool, cotton, hemp, silk, polyester, etc. can all obtain high quality yarns. 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, dyeing and color fastness are all superior to those of pure cotton products; the fabrics made of it are displayed. A silk gloss, with a pleasant soft touch and drape, and excellent durability, Modal fiber can be blended and interwoven with a variety of fibers, such as cotton, linen, and silk, to enhance the quality of these fabrics. Keep the fabric soft, smooth and play its own fiber characteristics.

7, easy to dye

Modal fibers can be processed using traditional cellulose fiber pretreatment, bleaching and dyeing processes. Dyes for traditional cellulose fiber dyeing, such as direct dyes, reactive dyes, vat dyes, sulphur dyes, and azo dyes can all be used for the dyeing of Modal fabrics, with the same dye uptake, Modal fabrics The color is better, bright and bright, and mercerized with cotton blending, and the dyeing is uniform, dense and lasting.

8, gloss

The good appearance of Modal fiber gives the fabric a silky sheen, which is elegant and luxurious, which greatly enhances the grade of the clothing. The good feel and drapability make the garment more elegant and more portable, and it has a very soft touch. , Gives the fabric the second skin of the name. . The fabric is bright and light, and it is a natural silk fabric.

9, stable performance

Modal fiber fabric has stable performance, good garment effect, strong morphological stability, natural wrinkle resistance and heat resistance, making it more convenient and natural to wear. After testing and comparing, after 25 washings with cotton fabrics, the feel of cotton fabrics will become harder and harder, and Modal fiber fabrics are just the opposite. The softer and more washable the fabrics are.

V. Disadvantages:

1, raising phenomenon

Fleeting phenomenon affects fabric appearance style.

For example, Modal blends with cotton to increase the friction between fibers and reduce the movement of Modal fibers. At the same time, spandex elastic yarn is introduced to enhance the elasticity of the product and eliminate the drawbacks of the Modal without skeleton. The coordination of the three raw material ingredients makes the product use performance more perfect.

2. Appropriateness

Poor fabric stiffness

3, cost

Textile costs are expensive

Six, washing methods:

1. Clothing made from Modal blended fabrics is suitable for washing and is not suitable for dry cleaning.

2, its ironing temperature can be controlled at 120 ~ 140 °C

Seven, fabric maintenance:

1, wear to minimize friction, pull, often change the wash;

2, clothing washed, dried, ironed, should be stacked flat;

3, Modal moisture is very strong, collection should prevent high temperature, high humidity and dirty environment caused by moldy phenomenon;

4. Ironing requires ironing at medium temperature, and push and pull should be used less when ironing to make the clothing stretch naturally.
