In the modern textile industry, Modal fabrics have gradually won the favor of consumers for their excellent comfort and environmental protection characteristics. Modal fiber, as a regenerated fiber made from natural cellulose (such as beech) through a special process, not only retains the softness and breathability of natural fibers, but also overcomes some shortcomings of traditional fibers, becoming an ideal choice for people who pursue high-quality life.
1. Material characteristics
a. Fiber fineness and softness: The fineness of Modal fiber is much lower than that of traditional cotton fiber, which makes Modal fabric more delicate and soft to the touch, as comfortable as a second layer of skin. This delicate feeling reduces friction with the skin and improves the comfort of wearing.
b. Hygroscopicity and breathability: Modal fiber has good hygroscopicity and breathability, can quickly absorb and discharge moisture from the body surface, keep the skin dry, and effectively avoid stuffiness, which is one of the important sources of its comfort.
c. Environmental protection: As a recycled fiber, Modal's production process is more environmentally friendly than some synthetic fibers, reducing the burden on the environment. This is also in line with the concept of modern people pursuing a sustainable lifestyle, and indirectly improves the psychological comfort of wearing.
2. Weaving process
a. Yarn structure: Reasonable yarn structure design can improve the overall texture of the fabric. Tight and uniform yarn arrangement helps to enhance the wear resistance and stability of the fabric, while maintaining its softness and making it more comfortable to wear.
b. Fabric density: Appropriate fabric density can ensure the strength of the fabric while maintaining good breathability. Too high density may make the fabric too thick and affect breathability; while too low density may reduce the durability of the fabric. Therefore, reasonable fabric density is crucial to the comfort of Modal fabric.
c. Weaving method: Different weaving methods (such as plain, twill, satin, etc.) will affect the appearance, feel and breathability of the fabric. Choosing a suitable weaving method can further improve the comfort of Modal fabric.
3. Post-processing technology
a. Softening: Through specific chemical or physical methods, the fabric can be softened to further improve its softness and skin-friendliness, and enhance the comfort of wearing.
b. Antibacterial and deodorant treatment: In view of the moisture-absorbing characteristics of Modal fabrics, antibacterial and deodorant treatment can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, keep the fabrics clean, and improve the hygiene and comfort of wearing.
c. Pre-shrinkage treatment: Pre-shrinkage treatment of fabrics can reduce the shrinkage rate after washing, maintain the dimensional stability of the fabrics, and avoid affecting the wearing experience due to shrinkage.
4. Wearing environment
a. Temperature and humidity: The temperature and humidity vary greatly in different seasons and regions. Modal fabrics can maintain good comfort in a variety of environments due to their good moisture absorption and breathability. However, extreme high temperature or humid environment may still affect its performance, so choosing a suitable wearing environment is also an important factor in improving comfort.
b. Matching and maintenance: Reasonable clothing matching and correct maintenance methods can also extend the service life of Modal fabrics, keep them in their best condition, and thus improve wearing comfort.
