Sorona®, Bamboo fabrics redefining how you think about fibers.

 

DuPont™ Sorona® exists in the sweet spot where performance and sustainability intersect. Sorona® is the most recent addition to the DuPont legacy in fiber innovation that includes nylon, neoprene, Lycra®, Coolmax® and Cordura® and now Sorona®. For the past 80 years, DuPont fibers have improved comfort, beauty, and performance and now, with Sorona®, sustainability is added.

Although natural fibers such as cotton, linen and flax have been around for centuries, DuPont has been the leader in synthetic or man-made fibers. Knowledge of chemistry and polymer science led to the discovery of nylon in 1939 and has continued through the new century with the development of Sorona® that offers not only new attributes and benefits as a fiber, but is also made in a new, unique and environmentally friendly way.

  

 

DuPont has been defining the fiber industry for more than 50 years with the discovery and commercialization of well-known fibers such as nylon, rayon and spandex. With the introduction of Sorona®, DuPont has commercialized the most advanced fiber platform in over six decades. Since Sorona® is made, in part, with renewably sourced (biobased) ingredients, instead of petrochemicals, it helps reduce dependency on oil.

 Sorona® is just one of the many products made available through biotechnology and the renewable materials pipeline. As a fiber, the properties of Sorona® differ from other existing fibers combining many of the best benefits into a single product.  This unique combination of performance benefits led to the FTC granting a new fiber generic  - triexta – for Sorona® fiber in 2009. Its unique properties include the ability to blend with and enhance the performance of other natural and man-made fibers making Sorona® for the ideal choice a variety of end uses. 

Sorona® is made, in part, with renewably sourced ingredients and research continues for alternative materials to increase the ‘sustainable properties of this unique fiber. Sorona® is also known as 3GT or PTT (polytrimethylene terephthalate).

As a renewably sourced fiber, Sorona® can be extruded into a wide variety of fiber types for an even broader array of applications and end uses. The unique ‘kink’ in the molecular structure of the fiber contributes to its unique performance. The ‘kink’ offers fiber memory. This results in comfort stretch with full recovery in apparel applications thereby eliminating baggy knees and elbows and providing freedom of movement. In carpet, the ‘kink’ results in crush resistance and fiber resilience since it ‘springs’ back to its original shape rather than getting matted down.

Now we blend the bamboo fiber with ptt sorona fibers to improve its performance,sorona/bamboo fiber single jersey fabric,sorona spandex tricot fabric for swimwear,PTT/Spandex weft knitted fabrics for yogawear. Hope our eco-friendly fabrics can save the earth a little!
