Modal®
Modal® is a special viscose fiber from the Austrian quality fiber manufacturer Lenzing. The traditional company looks back on a similarly long history as Comazo and also appreciates the same values: Sustainability, innovation and tradition. The fibers are produced in-house from 100% natural cellulose using a modified viscose process and follow the principle of sustainability. Modal® is particularly suitable for underwear and other close-to-skin garments due to its uniquely soft feel and various functions. MicroModal® is even finer than normal Modal fibers. Modal® is also frequently used in blended fabrics and functional underwear.
Characteristics:
- soft, dimensionally stable and smooth surface
- high color brilliance
- easy to care for
- skin-friendly
- soft, supple, silk-like feel
- smooth, cool surface touch
- silky, elegant look
- low tendency to swell, therefore very breathable
- more tear-resistant, more durable and higher wet strength than viscose
The fiber is also characterized by very good moisture absorption and release, which prevents electrostatic charging when worn. At around 60%, the water retention capacity of modal fibers is close to that of cotton. Due to the structure of the fiber, it has a low water retention capacity and is therefore quick-drying.
