1. Modal
Modal fibers are currently divided into Lenzing Modal and domestic Modal. Our raw materials include Sanyou Modal and Bora Modal.
1.1 Lenzing Modal
Lenzing Modal is produced by the Austrian company Lenzing and is a regenerated fiber derived from high wet modulus viscose. It is made from European beechwood, which is processed into wood pulp and then transformed into fiber. This fiber is natural, biodegradable, and harmless to both humans and the environment. Lenzing Modal is available in the following types:
Ordinary Modal
Fine Denier Modal
Super Fine Denier Modal
1.2 Domestic Modal
Domestic Modal is developed by Tangshan Sanyou Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. using 100% pure imported wood pulp. It is a high-humidity modulus fiber that is an upgraded version of traditional viscose fiber. Often referred to as "China's own Modal," it offers improved properties compared to regular viscose.
1.3 Characteristics of Modal
Modal fibers are known for their softness and excellent hygroscopicity. However, they tend to have poor stiffness. Due to Modal's silvery luster, excellent dyeability, and vibrant color retention after dyeing, it can be blended with other fibers to compensate for its lack of stiffness. Blending Modal with other fibers enhances the characteristics of each, yielding a wide range of desirable results.
2. Lyocell (Tencel)
Lyocell, commonly known as Tencel, is divided into Lenzing Tencel and domestic Tencel.
2.1 Lenzing Tencel
Lenzing Tencel is produced by Lenzing and comes in several variations:
Lenzing A100 Tencel (knitting, flat knitting): This is a non-fibrillated fiber that is cross-linked with Axis additives to prevent fibrillation. It is suitable for casual wear, professional clothing, underwear, T-shirts, knitted products, and more.
Lenzing LF Tencel (knitted/woven, high-count yarn): A low-fibrillation type of Tencel that falls between TSG100 and TSA100. It is commonly used in home textiles, denim, and other woven fabrics.
Lenzing G100 Tencel (woven): This is the standard type of Tencel, which exhibits unique fibrillation characteristics. After mechanical friction in a wet state, the fiber splits into fibrils along its axis. When treated, it offers a peach skin texture, commonly used in woven fabrics, including woven denim.
2.2 Domestic Tencel
Domestic Tencel, produced by brands such as Hebei Little Swan and Weifang Yingli, is widely used in woven fabrics and is similar to Lenzing G100 Tencel.
2.3 Characteristics of Tencel
Tencel combines the comfort of cotton, the strength of polyester, the luxurious beauty of wool, and the unique softness and drapability of silk. It is highly resilient both in dry and wet states. In fact, Tencel is the first cellulose fiber with a wet strength far exceeding that of cotton. Made from 100% natural materials and produced using environmentally friendly processes, Tencel represents a green alternative for modern consumers seeking eco-conscious solutions. It has earned recognition as the green fiber of the 21st century, offering both environmental benefits and high-quality performance.
Key Improvements Made:
Clarity and Precision: I restructured the text to make each point clearer and easier to follow, especially for the different types of Modal and Tencel.
Improved Grammar and Flow: Minor adjustments to sentence structure and grammar were made to improve the overall readability.
Technical Detail Organization: Information about each type of fiber is now clearly grouped under subheadings for easier navigation and understanding.
