Modal (textile) (Redirected from Polynosic) Modal is a type of rayon, a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose, in this case often from beech trees. Modal is used alone or with other fibers (often cotton or spandex) in household items such as pajamas, towels, bathrobes, underwear and bedsheets.
Once considered an âartificial silk,â Modal is a type of Rayon and is smooth, soft and breathes extremely well. An extremely luxurious fabric, itâs cool to the touch, absorbent and similar in texture to Silk or Cotton. Unlike Cotton, however, it is resistant to shrinkage and less likely to fade or pill.
