Modal® - Makes the world a softer place

The ultimate softness

Soft as a feather. The low fiber rigidity and the special cross-section of Lenzing Modal® transform the fiber into an expert for natural softness. The high softness factor and naturalness are what make Lenzing Modal® the ideal choice for soft and smooth and figure-hugging textiles.

Höchster Weichheitsfaktor
  • Highest softness factor
  • Low fiber rigidity
  • Natural softness without chemicals

Ultra fine is ultra soft

Lenzing Modal® makes everything softer. The special fibers, MicroModal® and MicroModal® AIR, are even softer since they are extremely fine. The finer the fiber, the softer the textiles become. Thus MicroModal® possesses the ultimate softness factor if the Lenzing Modal® types are compared with each other or with cotton. MicroModal® AIR has a softness factor four times higher than cotton*.

Top softness factor

Softness is expressed by the bending stiffness of textiles. This comprises the drape, hand, suppleness and creasing behavior. Excellent values can be attained thanks to the low fiber rigidity of Lenzing Modal®.
