Modal Fabric
Modal fiber is a new kind of regenerated cellulose fiber produced by FCFC (Formosa Chemicals & fiber Corporation), called Formotex fiber.
Its key advantage is its high tensile strength. Compared with Viscose, Its Wet/dry Tenacity is 1.5 times higher. Due to the high quality of the fiber, the resultant yarn is also of high quality.
The definition stipulates minimum values concerning the wet modulus and fiber breaking resistance on fiber state. Modal fiber satisfies these requirements.
Modal is a green fiber. The solvent used during Modal production process is easily recycled without any contamination, since it is extracted from pure wood.

Hemp Fabric
Hemp fabrics are well known for their earthy, natural character reflecting the biologic and mechanical processes used to produce these beautiful fabrics. The variations in the yarn and natural color of truly natural hemp fabric gives these hemp textiles their timeless beauty and style. We primarily offer hemp fabric produced in Romania, but we also offer a variety of beautiful hemp and hemp blend fabrics from China. All fabrics listed are sold by the yard. Also wholesale hemp textiles.

Tencel Fabric
Tencel (lyocell) is a recently (as of 2010) developed artificial fiber. It is the only fiber to be invented in the last 30 years. Unlike polyester or nylon, it is made not from a completely synthetic polymer but rather from wood-based cellulose. You can find pure Tencel fabric or Tencel fabric contains other types of fibers. Fabric can either be made completely from Tencel or combined with other materials to reduce costs. Fabric made from short Tencel fibers has a feel very much like cotton. It does, however, resist wrinkling and does not shrink. Longer Tencel fibers give fabric a smooth, silky feel. These fabrics fall beautifully and can be used in

    The variety of synthetic fibres used in manufacturing fibre grew steadily throughout the 20th century. In the 1920s, acetate was invented; in the 1940s, acetate, modacrylic, metal fibres, and saran were developed; acrylic, polyester, and spandex were introduced in the 1950s. Polyester became hugely popular in the apparel market, and by the late 1970s, more polyester was sold in the United States than cotton.[18]…

    Polyester is also a “Man-Made Fiber”. Polyester is strong and resists wrinkling, abrasion, shrinkage, stretching and mildew. It collects static electricity, sensitive to heat, absorbs and holds body oils and may pill. It also has superior wash and wear performance. Trademark uses of Polyester are blouses, shirts, dresses, children’s wear, lingerie, slacks and suits. It is found in a range of woven and knitted fabrics and is also found in blends with natural and other man-made fibers. To care for this fiber, machine wash and dry at medium to low temperatures. Hang promptly and press only if necessary. Use fabric softener to reduce static cling.…

    The cotton fibre grows around the seed pod of the plant, and the colour of the soft fibre varies from white to a greyish yellow. Once the plant has been harvested, it is spun into thread or yarn. It is mostly used to make cotton fabric used for clothes, socks and underwear, etc. It is a light and breathable fabric, making it ideal for bed linen also.. It is cool to wear, has a soft handle, a good drape, and is durable. It can be washed and ironed, but it creases easily, is very absorbent and dries slowly.…

    Kevlar is a fiber which Howard W. Swank, general manager of Du Pont’s Textile Fibers Department, and other Textile Fibers Department’s managers were keen on. Kevlar is based on the former products of Du Pont, such as nylon, and Nomex Aramid fiber. Kevlar’s development was closely related to that of Nomex. It is a much stronger and stiff fiber than nylon and steel, and can be stable at high temperatures. After the Fiber-B first came out in 1960s, Du Pont found some problems with it. Two years later, Fiber B-1, which is also called Kevlar Aramid fiber, came out with better properties. The Textile Fibers Department thought Kevlar could meet the potential needs of both existing and potential customers. Actually, Du Pont needed new products like Kevlar, because its major products’ earnings were softening under increased competition.…

    Cellulose can be converted into cellophane, a thin transparent film, and into rayon, an important fiber that has been used for textiles since the beginning of the 20th century. Both cellophane and rayon are known as "regenerated cellulose fibers"; they are identical to cellulose in chemical structure and are usually made from dissolving pulp via viscose. A more recent and environmentally friendly method to produce a form of rayon is the Lyocell process. Cellulose is the raw material in the manufacture of nitrocellulose (cellulose nitrate) which is used in smokeless gunpowder and as the base material for celluloid used for photographic and movie films until the mid-1930s.…
