Austrian producer of cellulose fibres Lenzing recently presented its new Modal fibre, MicroModal Air, at Expofil and Texworld, which took place in Paris from February 18-22.

Its main applications are in knitwear, helping to create finer knit fabrics for the lingerie sector. It incorporates the properties of the company's standard micro Modal fibre; however, it is said to be finer and softer.

Modal fibres are made from beech wood and are produced using eco aware technologies. They are produced on spinning machines with a count of up to 25 Nm. By-products created during the process are recovered and used for other projects.
