What Fabric Can Be Comfortable, Beautiful And Well Dressed? Dupont SORONA Fiber Has Something To Say.

As a 217 year old science company, DuPont Technological innovation has always been at the forefront, especially in the textile industry. In the 2019intertextile autumn winter noodles exhibition held recently, we talked about the prospects of SORONA fiber. SORONA Asia Pacific Business Director Zhou Jin Confidently told reporters: "people are looking for more environmentally friendly materials, but at the same time, they also want to be comfortable, beautiful and wear decent material. We feel very lucky, because SORONA can meet these two needs at the same time.

Leader of memory fabric and new elastic fiber

In this newly emerged textile industry, SORONA has become one of the few fiber materials that can steadily occupy the market and develop continuously in the past more than 10 years. Memory fabrics are mostly used for making jackets (such as jackets, windbreaker, down jacket fabrics). This fabric is very unique: soft and smooth, and can wrinkle at will, but with a touch of hands, wrinkles can be restored smoothly. Another kind of SORONA's fiber is comfortable and elastic. It is usually used in the development of various kinds of elastic fabric. It is widely used. From swimsuit to high fashion, from sports T-shirt to jeans and trousers, it can make the product comfortable and elastic even with no spandex. All this stems from the natural "small spring" molecular structure of SORONA material, which automatically restores itself after stretching.

Zhou Jin said that since its entry into the Chinese market in 2004, SORONA has become a fashion trend in the field of textile and clothing, and has attracted much attention in Asia, Europe and North America. The reason is that it is a perfect combination of high performance and environmental protection: SORONA is part of the bio based product - its core raw material comes from plant sugar. At the same time, the fibers and fabrics made of it have multiple excellent performance combinations, such as soft, dry, elastic and conformal, which can meet the designer's greater freedom of design.

In addition to the two mainstream applications of SORONA, the exhibition also showed more innovative results.

New changes brought about by SORONA

How can we enjoy the comforts of comfortable fur fabric and enhance the fabric's thermal effect without hunting animals for fur? SORONA has the answer.

Zhou Jin told reporters. Artificial fur made from SORONA - based fiber can also give a real skin - friendly experience. The warm filling materials made of SORONA short fiber and recycled polyester fiber provide more choices for the brand to pursue sustainable development: the product can not only be close to the thermal insulation of the down, but also has a distinct environmental protection concept. Not only that, the involvement in the field of footwear products makes the knitted parts of the upper part of the shoe always maintain a comfortable elasticity, a better return to shape, and a breathable and sweating function. It is worth mentioning that, SORONA can partly replace spandex in elasticity, enduring durable elasticity and excellent shape recovery. "Unlike spandex, spandex will be damaged after washing, drying, contacting chlorine or high temperature. So if you wear elastic pants with spandex, you will find that the knee will soon be loose. Spandex is easy to be aged, and its resilience is not good. However, SORONA has no such problem. It is not easy to lose its elasticity after repeated washing and stretching. Of course, clothing is more conformal and durable.

The future of SORONA will be available.

Zhou said that DuPont is also seeking cooperation to release the unlimited possibilities of materials. In addition to working closely with downstream value chain customers, SORONA is also a strong combination of innovation and innovation. For example, the cooperation with Sateri (SAI Deli), combined with their environment-friendly concept of Cox rayon viscose fiber, complementarity in performance and joint development of high-performance comfort fabrics, has great potential in underwear, home furnishing, leisure and professional wear. In his view, SORONA combines both sustainable development and unique combination of performance, which will bring lasting innovation and surprise to the global textile and garment industry.
