4 differences between modal fabric and pure cotton fabric

What is modal fabric

Modal fabric is composed of regenerated cellulose with high wet modulus. Its production process is relatively environmental friendly.

Its touch is similar to that of pure cotton, but it has better luster and dyeability.

Most underwear choose modal as raw material, but with the gradual popularity of fabrics, modal is also widely used in coats and other accessories.

Advantages of modal fabric:

1. Modal fiber is a natural fiber, so it can degrade naturally and will not pollute the environment.

2. Modal fabric is soft, beautiful and smooth, with strong drapability. It is a natural mercerized fabric

3. Modal has excellent strength and toughness, which is conducive to the production and processing of the factory.

4. Strong moisture absorption, 50% higher than cotton fiber, so many close fitting fabrics will choose modal fabrics, which is conducive to human health.

Which is better than modal or pure cotton?

The cotton content of pure cotton is more than 75%, with good air permeability but easy deformation.

It feels soft but has no sense of smoothness. Modal has a sense of smoothness, and its luster, moisture absorption and dyeing are better than pure cotton.

But the softness and warmth retention are definitely not as good as pure cotton.

As for whether modal is better than pure cotton, it largely depends on what clothes are used to produce.

If it is underwear, modal is preferred, because for underwear, the properties of modal fabric are more consistent with the human body. If it is a T-shirt, pure cotton fabric must be selected.
