Together with viscose and Tencel, these fibres are called <strong>regenerated fibres<\/strong>, which consist of naturally renewable raw materials. As wood and its <strong>cellulose<\/strong> form the basic material for all these fibres, they are also called \u2018synthetic cellulose fibres\u2019 in contrast to purely natural fibres and synthetic chemical fibres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modal is a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rayon#Modal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>structurally-modified viscose<\/em><\/a><em> with a higher degree of polymerisation (above 400 to 700) compared to normal viscose&#8221;<\/em>. Due to this molecular &#8216;update&#8217;, modal features more functional advantages compared to <strong>viscose<\/strong> and is sometimes referred to as \u201cthe better viscose.\u201d One of its advantages includes its amazing tensile strength when wet, which is especially useful for outdoor use. Also, modal is more durable, abrasion-resistant and is less prone to shrinkage compared to viscose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, <strong>two types of modal<\/strong> with slightly different functional emphases have been developed: a Polynosic (PN) type that can be optimally blended with cotton and a HWM (High Wet Modulus) type, which features a higher breaking strength and tensile strength. You can read more about this topic in the properties section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-is-it-manufactured\">How is it manufactured?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Materialinfo-Holz-Lenzing.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Materialinfo-Holz-Lenzing-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Modal is obtained from beech wood.\" class=\"wp-image-39136\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Modal is obtained from beech wood.<br>Source: www.lenzing.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As already mention, modal is made from a raw material called beech wood. While viscose can be produced from various basic materials, modal is exclsuively made from beech wood. Now, let\u2019s take a look at the production process: the wood is first debarked and chipped. Then, these chips are processed using a multi-stage chemical solution process and are then spun mechanically with a spinneret to form the fibres. As a result, cellulose fibres are produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-properties\">Properties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Modal has the ability to <strong>combine the advantages<\/strong> of natural and synthetic fibres, without taking on any of their disadvantages. Therefore, modal is a lot more durable than cotton, but still offers the equivalent amount of comfort. And, in comparison to other synthetic fibres, such as polyester, it provides just as much moisture management and feels even softer against the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Both comfort and a pleasant microclimate<\/strong> are modal\u2019s greatest advantages thanks to the fabric\u2019s ability to absorb water and quickly wick away moisture. Plus, modal absorbs 50% more moisture than cotton. Another advantage: the fabric is super <strong>breathable<\/strong>, which now brings us to modal\u2019s amazing <strong>functionality<\/strong>. Modal is particularly stretchy, durable, dimensionally stable, insensitive to heat and easy to care for. In other words, you can throw it into the washing machine and in the dryer without fear of damage, shrinkage or change of colour. And no matter how many times modal gets wet, it won\u2019t affect its durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up to now, modal has mainly been processed in <strong>fibre blends<\/strong>, where it often has a positive effect on the other fibres\u2019 properties. For instance, cotton becomes softer, silk becomes more durable and linen becomes stretchier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-feel-and-comfort\">Feel and comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to comfort, modal is equally impressive. Its fibres\u2019 <strong>smooth surface<\/strong> ensures not only softness, but also comfort and a silky sheen. Speaking of which, when touching modal, it\u2019ll feel as if you\u2019re touching silk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it\u2019s not surprising that modal is <strong>pleasant on the skin<\/strong> and great for both allergy sufferers and individuals with sensitive skin. As a result of its softness, you\u2019ll mainly find modal in your underwear and other garments that are worn close to the skin. And, despite its softness, garments made from modal and modal blends don\u2019t \u201csag\u201d, but rather provide a great fit. This is due to the fact that the fabric is elastic, maintains its shape and remains comfortable even after several washes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-modal-for-outdoor-use\">Modal for outdoor use<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Materialinfo-Modal-Klettern-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Materialinfo-Modal-Klettern-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"One of modal\u2019s greatest advantages is its cooling effect.\" class=\"wp-image-39132\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thanks to its cooling effect, you\u2019ll feel comfortable during strenuous activities and in warmer seasons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Modal is typically used to make underwear, shirts and long sleeve tops, as this is where its functionality really shines through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since modal is <strong>cooling<\/strong> rather than warming, it isn\u2019t very windproof or weatherproof. Therefore, modal&#8217;s amazing properties are best suited for <strong>strenuous activities<\/strong> and in <strong>hot temperatures<\/strong>. However, to create warm outdoor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/base-layers\/\">base layers<\/a>, modal can be combined with merino wool to balance the temperature inside the garment (as if you were wearing an air conditioner).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-model-sustainable\">Is model sustainable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing modal to natural fibres, such as cotton, or synthetic fibres, such as polyester, you\u2019ll notice that modal stands-out in terms of <strong>functionality<\/strong> and eco-friendliness. Plus, in the field of synthetic cellulose fibres, modal is a close-second to <strong>TENCEL Lyocell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of sustainability, <strong>eco-friendly<\/strong> modal is better-than-average in terms of water consumption, energy consumption, land use, use of pesticides and pollutants, and waste products compared to natural and synthetic fibres, such as cotton or polyester. And, unlike synthetic fibres, the production of modal doesn\u2019t involve the use of raw fossil materials, such as petroleum and natural gas. It\u2019s even more sustainable than natural materials, such as organic cotton, because less water and energy are needed to produce and process modal. However, a number of chemicals are used in the production process, which can cause damage if they get into the environment. Modal therefore certainly has advantages, but its production harbours its own dangers for people and the environment. Many manufacturers are therefore focusing on closed production cycles to reduce the risk of chemicals being released into the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-care\">Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, when buying a new garment made from modal, you should keep and read the instructions indicated on the <strong>care label<\/strong>. Although modal is very easy to care for, you\u2019ll get the <strong>most out of it<\/strong> with the right care. So, here are a few simple tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Washing the garment with the <strong>quick wash cycle<\/strong> prevents unnecessary stress to the fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reducing the spin speed<\/strong> to a maximum of 600 rpm will also reduce this stress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modal can also be <strong>ironed<\/strong> at a low or medium temperature. But luckily, ironing is usually not necessary, since the fabric doesn\u2019t crease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><a class=\"a-button a-button--green block\" title=\"Purchase some garments made of modal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/s\/modal\/category--outdoor-clothing\/\">Check out some modal garments in our shop &gt;&gt; <\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most important facts: Modal &#8211; doesn&#8217;t this word have a little 60s charm about it?
