MicroModal® AIR
Feather-light fineness from the world of plants
The newly developed micro fiber of Lenzing AG for which a patent has been filed stands out due to its extreme lightness and fineness. A fiber diameter of only 0.8 dtex makes MicroModal® AIR the lightest Modal fiber available in the marketplace.
Botanic Lightness
MicroModal® AIR is perfection itself when it comes to fineness. The new fiber can be used in luxurious lingerie. Knit fabrics become even lighter and finer than ever before. MicroModal® AIR tops with a mass per unit area of less than 100 g are now a reality.
Botanic Softness
The natural properties of the Lenzing Modal® fiber remain intact. The finest knit fabrics of MicroModal® AIR feel wonderfully soft. Even after repeated washing, these fabrics have not relinquished their fantastic softness. The exceptionally pleasant feeling on the skin continues.
Botanic Quality
MicroModal® AIR can be processed using high speed spinning systems. The knit fabrics are symmetrically smooth and reveal a perfect fabric appearance. Yarns up to a count of 225 Nm can be spun leading to new knit creations in the fine count range (e 36) for luxury applications.
Fiber from the plant world
MicroModal® AIR is made from beech wood. When the raw materials for MicroModal® AIR are growing, botanic principles apply: CO2 is converted into oxygen. Likewise fiber production obeys the principles of sustainability. Valuable by-products from the process are recovered and used again.
