Micro Modal - Soft, Sustainable, and Luxurious Material

What is Micromodal Fabric? – Soft, Sustainable, and Luxurious Material

Micromodal fabric is a premium type of modal rayon known for its incredible softness, durability, and excellent moisture-wicking properties. Ideal for underwear, sportswear, and luxury loungewear, micromodal offers a silky feel, breathability, and comfort, making it the preferred choice for high-quality garments.

How is Micromodal Fabric Made?

Micromodal is created using a sophisticated process that begins with cellulose extracted from sustainable hardwood trees like birch and oak. Here's a simplified breakdown of how micromodal fabric is made:

1. Cellulose Extraction:
   Wood chips are processed to extract cellulose, which is then converted into a fine, white sheet.

2. Chemical Processing:
   The cellulose is soaked in caustic soda and carbon disulfide to create a viscous solution, transforming the cellulose into sodium cellulose xanthate.

3. Fiber Formation:
   The solution is forced through a spinneret to create ultra-fine fibers. These fibers are then treated, stretched, and spun into soft yarn ready for weaving into fabric.

4. Silky Soft Texture:
   The fibers are so thin that they create a fabric smoother than silk, with a feel that many consumers claim is even softer than real silk.
