The difference between viscose, Modert and Lyocell fibers

The difference between viscose, Modert and Lyocell fibers

introduction with the development of science and technology, new fiber materials are emerging in the textile industry. Among them, Viscose, Modert and Lyocell fibers have attracted much attention due to their unique properties and wide applications. In this paper, the differences of these three fibers will be discussed in depth, with a view to the textile industry professionals and consumers to provide useful reference.

 Second, viscose fiber viscose fiber, also known as rayon, is a natural cellulose by chemical treatment of fiber materials. The production process mainly includes cellulose dissolution, spinning and forming, and post-treatment, etc. . Viscose fiber is similar to silk in luster and feel, and has good moisture absorption and permeability. However, its strength is relatively low and its heat resistance is poor.

Modell fiber modell fiber is a kind of fiber material made from wood pulp after chemical treatment. The production process is similar to that of viscose fibers, but different chemical reagents are used. Modal fiber has excellent softness and drape, as well as good moisture absorption and air permeability. In addition, the strength and heat resistance of modal fiber is better than viscose fiber.

4. Lyocell fiber

Lyocell fiber is a kind of fiber material which is obtained by chemical treatment of natural cellulose. The process is similar to that of viscose and modal fibers, but with different chemicals. Lyocell fiber combines the advantages of viscose fiber and modal fiber, with excellent softness, drape and gloss, as well as good moisture absorption and permeability. In addition, the strength and heat resistance of Lyocell fiber is also better than viscose fiber and modal fiber.

Summary of differences

1. Source of raw materials: Viscose fiber and Modell fiber raw materials for natural cellulose, while the raw materials for Lyocell fiber for natural cellulose and renewable resources.

2. Properties: Lyocell fiber is superior to viscose fiber and modal fiber in softness, drape, glossiness and strength. At the same time, the heat resistance of Lyocell fiber is better than viscose fiber and modal fiber.

3. Application: because of the better comprehensive performance of Lyocell fiber, it is widely used in high-grade clothing, home textiles and other fields. Viscose fiber and modal fiber are mainly used in low-end textiles. Conclusion there are significant differences among viscose, Modert and Lyocell fibers in terms of raw materials, properties and applications. Lyocell fiber has become a new favorite in textile industry because of its excellent properties and wide applications. However, viscose fibers and modal fibers also play an important role in their respective fields. Therefore, in the selection of textile materials, needs to be based on the actual needs and application scenarios for comprehensive consideration.
