What is the difference between Modal and Lycra? Modal (Modal) is a modal fiber. Lycra ( LYCRA ) fabric is made of spandex fiber, which belongs to spandex, which not only inherits the characteristics of spandex, but also surpasses span3, general elastic fiber_ The elasticity and extensibility of span4span. In order for everyone to better understand the difference between Modal and Lycra, Baijian here will introduce you to the characteristics of Modal and Lycra.
Modal
Modal is actually a modal fiber, which belongs to man-made fiber . The raw material of modal fiber is made of European beech wood, which is pulped and spun. The raw material is 100% natural, harmless to the human body, decomposed naturally, and harmless to the environment.

Lycra
Lycra (LYCRA) fabric is a fabric made of spandex fiber, which belongs to spandex. It not only inherits the characteristics of spandex, but also surpasses the elasticity and extensibility of spandex and general elastic fibers.
It was successfully researched by the German Bayer company ( Bayer ) in 1937.DuPont started production in 1959, and it is the registered trademark of DuPont spandex fiber.
is a name for fabric, and it is also a registered trademark.
Advantages: excellent extensibility and elastic recovery performance, not easy to realize
Disadvantages: must be blended with other fabrics
Lycra fabric can be blended with any fabric, such as wool, linen, silk and cotton, to increase The fabric has the characteristics of close-fitting, elasticity and looseness, naturalness and comfort, and it feels more flexible when moving.
