Distinguish modal from Lycra fabricsNow a lot of people choose when choosing underwear modal fabric, because the fabric of the underwear is soft and elastic, very comfortable to wear. However, there are many misunderstandings in the cognition of this kind of fabric. Many people think Modal is a name of cotton and Lycra. In fact, Lycra and Modal are two kinds of different fibers, each with its own features. Modell's common sense commentary Modal (Modal) is Austria Lenzing (Lenzing) company developed high wet modulus of cellulose regenerated fiber, the fiber of the raw materials used in Europe beech, the first made of wood pulp, and then through special spinning technology processing into fiber. The raw materials of this product are all natural materials, harmless to human body, and can be naturally decomposed, harmless to the environment. The whole production process of the fiber is also free of any pollution. The dry strength of Modale fiber is close to that of polyester, and the wet strength is much higher than that of ordinary viscidity. The luster, softness, moisture absorption, dyeing property and dyeing fastness are all better than pure cotton products. The fabric shows a silky gloss with a pleasant soft touch and drape and excellent durability. Lycra common Sense commentary Lycra is the buzzword of the day. It is a trademark registered by dupont for its elastic fibers. In fact, Lycra is just a commodity name for Invida, a former wholly owned subsidiary of dupont bought by Koch Industries for $4.4 billion in 2004, which has become synonymous with almost all spandex because of its dominant position in the market. It is a kind of petroleum-based artificial elastic fiber, which can be freely stretched by 4-5 times and quickly recover its original length after being released by external forces. It can be interwoven with any man-made fiber or natural fiber, but it cannot be used alone. Instead of the traditional elastic elastic string, lycra is almost an essential component in the special requirements of shapewear, gym suits and swimsuits. It gives you a curvy, gel-free, no-pressure feel. Not only is Lycra widely used in everyday clothing, it is also a popular kaleidoscope of fashion designers making pets. Lycra was thus called a miraculous fibre by the delighted. After reading the above introduction, people may easily confuse the two. Let's compare the two differences: Similarities: 1. Both can be mixed with other fibers, such as cotton, hemp, silk, etc., to improve the quality of these fabrics, so that the fabric can keep soft and smooth. 2. Both of them have great elasticity, which is not only comfortable to wear but also close-fitting, with a good body-building effect. Difference: Modal can be made into separate garments, while lycra must be blended with other fibers. 2. According to their own characteristics, Modale is more suitable for making underwear fabric than Lycra, because it is softer, breathable, close-fitting and 100% natural. 3. Lycra is more flexible than Modal, which is the reason why Lycra is not as flexible as Modal. Therefore, Lycra is more used in shaping underwear, gymnastics clothing, bathing suit and other strong shape-like clothing. Looking at the above comparison, we should know that Modale and Lycra are two completely different fabrics, there is no relationship, many people think modale is pure cotton and Lycra point of view is completely wrong. |
