Micromodal is a type of rayon fabric made from the pulp of beech trees. It is a specialized type of modal rayon that is prized for its incredible softness and resistance to shrinkage. Micromodal fibers are thinner than those of regular modal, which allows them to be tightly woven into a fabric that has the same texture as silk. This luxurious texture makes micromodal an ideal fabric for undergarments and clothing worn close to the skin. Micromodal is also known for its excellent moisture-wicking profile, which makes it a popular choice for sportswear and underwear.

The processes used to create modal rayon and micromodal fabric are practically identical, and the main difference between micromodal and modal rayon is the size of the fibers that are produced. Micromodal fabric is made by Lenzing AG, which is the only producer of this fabric. Lenzing is known for their commitment to sustainable fabric production and their closed-loop processes. Micromodal is completely biodegradable and is made from natural materials.

Some benefits of micromodal fabric include:

• Softness: Micromodal is incredibly soft and surpasses cotton in terms of softness.
• Moisture-wicking: Micromodal is 50% more absorbent than traditional cotton and wicks moisture away from the skin.
• Durability: Micromodal resists fading, wrinkling, and losing its shape.
• Breathability: Micromodal is highly breathable and allows moisture and air to pass through it.

Micromodal is used to make a variety of products, including sportswear, underwear, loungewear, and activewear.
