What are the advantages and disadvantages of modal fabric?

Modal is also called modal fabric, and its English name is modal. The raw material of modal fabric is made of European beech through beating and spinning.

The raw material is 100% natural, harmless to human body, natural decomposition and harmless to the environment.

The fabric after blending and interweaving with cotton and polyester has silk like luster, good drapability, soft and smooth feel, excellent dimensional stability and durability.

Modal fabrics are widely used in women’s coats, underwear, sportswear and home textile products.

Advantages of modal fabric

1. The raw material of modal fabric comes from natural wood and can be degraded naturally after use.

2. Modal fiber is soft, smooth and bright, with bright color. The fabric feels particularly smooth, the cloth surface has bright luster, and the drapability is better than the existing cotton, polyester and rayon.

It has silk like luster and feel. It is a natural mercerized fabric.

3.Modal fabric has the strength and toughness of synthetic fiber, with dry strength of 35.6cn and wet strength of 25.6cn.

The strength is higher than that of pure cotton and polyester cotton, which reduces the breakage phenomenon in processing.

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

5. Compared with cotton fiber, modal fabric has good shape and dimensional stability, so that the fabric has natural wrinkle resistance and non ironing, making it more convenient and natural to wear.

6.Modal fiber has good dyeing performance and remains bright as new after repeated washing, with thorough moisture absorption and good color fastness.

Compared with pure cotton, it is more comfortable to wear, without the disadvantages of fading and yellowing of pure cotton clothing.
Therefore, the fabric has bright colors and stable wearing performance.

After 25 times of washing with cotton fabric, the hand feeling will be harder and harder. On the contrary, modal fiber fabrics are softer and brighter when washed.

Disadvantages of modal fabric

Mordai fabric is almost perfect. The only disadvantage is its poor extensibility.

Although mordai fabric has no harmful substances, it is not suitable for some allergic constitution because it is processed by chemical fiber.

Washing method of modal fabric

Modal fabrics also have some common sense in washing. For example, this blended fabric is not suitable for dry cleaning.
It is only suitable for cleaning it with water. The ironing temperature of modal can be controlled at about 120 ~ 140 ℃.

Here’s how to wash modal fabrics:

1. Modal fabric is suitable for water washing and not dry cleaning. It should be soaked with washing.
The soaking time should not exceed 15 minutes, otherwise the dirt in the washing solution is easy to be immersed again.

2. Modal fabrics can be machine washed, and the water temperature should not be too high. It is recommended to choose hand washing.

3. The fiber of modal fabric is short, and the fabric will harden slightly in case of water. Try to wash it gently by hand to avoid excessive friction.

4. It is best to use neutral detergent or low alkali detergent when washing, and do not use clothing softener.

5. After washing in the washing liquid, wash it with clean water to avoid the residual washing liquid on the bedding, resulting in the discoloration and yellowing of the bedding.

6. When draining after washing, the bedding should be stacked up to squeeze out the water. Do not twist to avoid excessive deformation.
