Textiles made from Modal do not fibrillate, or pill, like cotton does, and are resistant to shrinkage and fading. They are smooth and soft, more so than even Mercerized Cotton , to the point where mineral deposits from Hard Water , such as Lime , do not stick to the fabric surface. Like pure cotton, modal needs to be ironed after washing. Modal is a registered trademark of Lenzing AG , an Austrian company specializing in textiles and fibers, particularly natural fibers made from cellulose. In the United States , pure Modal has begun being used in household linens such as towels, bathrobes, and bedsheets. Bed Bath & Beyond , for example, sells its newly-released Modal sheets under the name Pure Beech. Indian Textile companies, in particular, have taken to Modal, and are expected to produce around 4000 Ton s of it in 2005 . Reference Data sheet on modal External links |
