today brief you about the the magic fabric.Some call it the underwear fabric and
some just look to it as an environmentally-friendly textile option. Either way,
modal is revolutionizing the fashion industry with its lightweight, stretchy, and
breathable nature that takes beech tree pulp and turns it into an eco-conscious,
durable option for clothing and housewares.

What Is Modal Fabric?


Modal fabric is a semi-synthetic fabric made from beech tree pulp that is used
primarily for clothing, such as underwear and pajamas, and household items, like
bed sheets and towels. Modal is a form of rayon, another plant-based textile,
though it is slightly more durable and flexible than the standard version. Modal is
often blended with other fibers like cotton and spandex for added strength. Modal
is considered a luxurious textile thanks to both its soft feel and high cost, as it
is more expensive than either cotton or viscose.

Modal was originally developed in Japan in the 1950s. Today, most modal is produced
by the Austrian company Lenzing AG, which has the trademark for the fabric; its
brands include Lenzing Modal, China Modal, and Formatex. There are even lighter
versions of the material dubbed MicroModal and Modal Air by Lenzing. These versions
are even finer knit than standard modal and make the end product softer, therefore
items made from these fabrics are considered even more luxurious.

How Is Modal Fabric Manufactured?

Modal Lingerie in India by Lovebird LingerieModal fabric is a bio-based fabric that


is made from spinning reconstituted beech tree cellulose. Modal is generally
considered a more eco-friendly alternative to cotton because beech trees don’t
require much water to grow and therefore the production process uses about 10-20
times less water.

Even though the material is plant-derived, the production process includes soaking
the fabric in chemicals like sodium hydroxide and carbon disulfate, which in turn
classify modal as semi-synthetic. Modal is a type of rayon fabric, but it is
generally more durable than regular rayon and feels softer, like cotton.

Production Guide: What Is the Production Process for Modal?
Viscose Lingerie in India by Lovebird Lingerie1. Beech trees are harvested,
chipped, and cellulose is extracted from the pulp.
2. Next, the cellulose is made into sheets, which are soaked in sodium hydroxide.
3. Those sheets are broken into smaller pieces, which are soaked in carbon
disulfate. This produces sodium cellulose xanthate.
4. Cellulose xanthate is soaked in sodium hydroxide again. The subsequent liquid
solution is put through a spinneret, which is a device with a series of holes that
help create fibers.
5. The created fibers are soaked in sulfuric acid to form yarn. Once washed,
bleached, and dried, the yarn is loaded onto spools.
6. From there, the yarn can be woven or knit into a fabric to form modal.
