Lenzing is proud to present the new colour and black Modal fibres. The new developments are being presented for the first time at the international yarn and fabric trade shows. The advantage of the spun-dyed fibre is its eco-friendliness: dyeing is no longer necessary because the colour pigments are embedded directly in the fibre matrix. Resources, such as water and energy, are spared when producing fabrics.
The colour black harbours enormous potential for applications in lingerie and socks and has interesting properties such as colour and abrasion fastness. Textiles of Lenzing Modal colour are generally extremely durable.
Tests prove that processing Lenzing Modal colour requires up to 80% less energy and saves up to 75% of water (in jet dyeing) in comparison to standard fibres.
Lenzing Modal colour is produced in an eco-friendly process using Edelweiss technology. The fibre is produced in Austria from beechwood. It is carbon neutral and up to 95% of processing chemicals are recovered during production.
