Modal Or Pure Cotton is better

Modal and pure cotton have their own advantages and application scenarios, there is no absolute good or bad, different needs and personal preferences and the suitable range of fabric characteristics, will give different choices!

Modal is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber, with soft, breathable, good moisture absorption and other characteristics. Compared with pure cotton, it is more resistant to wear, not easy to wrinkle, and has better anti-wrinkle properties. In addition, Modal fabric gloss and softness than pure cotton is also higher, more comfortable to touch.

Pure cotton is a natural fiber, soft and comfortable, good air permeability, moisture absorption is also very strong, friendly to the skin, not easy to produce static electricity and other advantages. In addition, pure cotton is relatively durable and easy to clean and maintain.

In terms of basic properties, Modal outperforms cotton in the following aspects:

1. Softness and comfort: Modal fiber fineness is 1dtex, while cotton fiber fineness is 1.52.5tex and silk fineness is 1.3dtex, so Modal fabric is softer and smoother, has a luster comparable to silk, and is more comfortable than cotton.

2. Moisture absorption: Modal fiber moisture absorption capacity is 50% higher than cotton fiber, is an ideal close-fitting fabric, more than cotton can help the skin to keep dry.

3. Wear resistance: Modal fiber has the strength and originality of synthetic fiber, dry strength 35.6cn, wet strength 25.6cn. Stronger than pure cotton, even polyester cotton;

4. Easy dyeing and high color fastness and bright color: good dyeing performance and after repeated washing still maintain bright as new, thorough moisture absorption, good color fastness, compared with pure cotton, wearing more comfortable, there is no pure cotton clothing fade, yellow shortcomings.

5. High gloss: Modal fabric has a good gloss, more texture than cotton.

Modal is inferior to pure cotton in the following aspects:

1. High temperature resistance: Modal fabric is not as high temperature resistant as pure cotton, easy to be burned by high temperature, need low temperature ironing.

2. Not resistant to bleaching: Modal fabric is not as resistant to bleaching as pure cotton, easy to discolor and damage.

3. Easy deformation: Modal fabric is not very water resistant, easy to deformation, need to pay attention to maintenance and cleaning.

In general, Modal and pure cotton have advantages and disadvantages, and the appropriate fabric needs to be selected according to the actual needs. Excluding Modal than cotton higher cost, more expensive factors, if you pay attention to the comfort of clothing and fabric softness, as well as wrinkle resistance and wear resistance, Modal fabric is a good choice; If you focus on natural materials, breathability, and ease of cleaning and maintenance, cotton fabrics are a better choice.
