Fabric analysis: use modal in summer
During the sweltering summer, many people like to wear comfortable modal clothes. Some people like to sleep on modal fabrics. So what is Modal? What are the characteristics of this fabric, what are the advantages, or what are its shortcomings? Violet home textile brand experts, for your analysis. This summer, rest assured to sleep in Modal Bedding. It will definitely give you a refreshing and smooth feeling.
First, the material
Modal is a cellulose-recycled fiber of high-moisture modulus viscose fiber. The fiber is made from spruce and eucalyptus wood pulp and 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's gloss, softness, hygroscopicity, dyeability and dye fastness are superior to those of pure cotton products. The fabric made of it shows a silky luster with a pleasant soft touch and drape. Good durability. Modal products have good softness and excellent hygroscopicity, but their fabrics have poor stiffness. Due to its silvery white gloss, excellent dyeability and bright color after dyeing, Modal is enough to make it a coat for use.
Second, Modal advantages:
1, the hand feels good, the textile uses natural plant extract, good for the human body, feels smooth, delicate, drape, Modal fiber fabric surface is smooth, delicate, smooth, with natural silk effect. Both breathability and water absorption are good, and the drape is excellent.
2, dry and breathable, Modal fiber has a higher wet modulus, the yarn shrinkage rate is only about 1%, and the viscose fiber yarn boiling water shrinkage rate of up to 6.5%. Its moisture absorption performance and air permeability are better than pure cotton fabrics. It is an ideal close-fitting fabric and health care apparel product, which is beneficial to human physiological circulation and health.
3. High fiber strength, the high strength of Modal fiber makes it suitable for the production of microfibers, and can also be spun on ring, rotor and air spinning machines, and can obtain fine yarns with almost no defects. Suitable for weaving light fabrics (such as 80g/m2 ultra-thin fabrics) and heavy fabrics, the ultra-thin fabrics are made of good strength, appearance, hand, drape and processing properties, and the thick fabrics are thick and not bloated.
4, can be blended, Modal fiber spinning can produce a more uniform strip, and other fibers can be blended in different proportions, such as wool, cotton, hemp, silk, polyester, etc. can get high quality yarn. The dry strength of modal fiber is close to that of polyester. The wet strength is much higher than that of ordinary viscose. The gloss, softness, hygroscopicity, dyeing and dyeing fastness are better than pure cotton products. It has a silky luster, a pleasant soft touch feeling and drape, and excellent wear resistance. Modal fiber can be blended with various fibers, such as cotton, hemp, silk, etc., to enhance the quality of these fabrics. The fabric can be kept soft and smooth, and the characteristics of the respective fibers are utilized.
5, convenient dyeing, Modal fiber can be processed by conventional cellulose fiber pretreatment, bleaching and dyeing process. Conventional dyes for cellulose fiber dyeing, such as direct dyes, reactive dyes, vat dyes, sulphur dyes and azo dyes, can be used for the dyeing of Modal fabrics, and the same dye uptake rate, Modal fabrics The color is better, bright and bright, and it can be mercerized with cotton blending, and the dyeing is uniform, thick and the color is lasting.
6. Stable performance Modal fiber fabric has stable performance, good ready-to-wear effect, strong shape stability, natural wrinkle resistance and non-ironing, making it more convenient and natural to wear. After testing and comparing, after washing with cotton fabrics for 25 times, the cotton fabric feels harder and harder, while the Modal fiber fabric is just the opposite. The more the washing, the softer the softer the more.
three. Modal disadvantages:
1. The pile phenomenon of napping phenomenon affects the appearance of the fabric.
For example, using Modal blended with cotton to enhance interfiber friction and reduce Modal fiber movement; at the same time, the introduction of spandex elastic yarn enhances product elasticity and eliminates Modal skeleton-free drawbacks. The coordination of the three raw materials makes the product performance more perfect.
2, very suitable fabric 3 adapted very poor, the cost of more expensive cost textile <br> <br> four, washed modal maintenance:
1. The garment made of Modal blended fabric is suitable for washing. It is not suitable for dry cleaning. 2. The ironing temperature can be controlled at 120~140°C.
3, wear as much as possible to reduce friction, pull, often change the wash 4, clothing washed, dried, ironed, should be stacked flat 5, Modal is very hygroscopic, the collection should prevent high temperature, high humidity and dirty environment Caused by mildew 6. When ironing, it is required to be ironed at medium temperature. When ironing, use less push-pull to make the garment stretch naturally.
