Modal Fabric - Eco Wonder???

Hey

Thought this might interest those keen on eco products some information on Model fabric polos. These polos have a nice silky feel and are eco freindly the best of both worlds, comfort and the environment.

"We have had many requests from our customer about our ECO-Friendly Garments.

As there is a lot of misrepresentation in the marketplace on what is and what is not in fact Environmentally Friendly products, we thought it was an appropriate time to send through this email again on our Modal Polos.

Modal is currently called the new Wonder Fabric.
Made from beech wood chips, this fabric combines the benefits of natural fibre and the ultra soft feel of modern microforms with a brilliant lustre factor.
With the hygroscopicity of cotton and the lustre of silk, it remains soft and lustrous after several washes.

If you’re looking to avoid chemically enhanced moisture management fabrics – look to Modal, it offers about 50% more hygroscopic moisture absorption and evaporation rate per unit volume than cotton, and is designed to dye just like cotton, and is color-fast when washed.

Our Modal polos are super 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.

Discover the unparalleled luxury of our Modal garments –today’s premier natural fibre.
Made from regenerated cellulose fibre it leaves garments extra soft, wrinkle and shrink resistant."
