DuPont Biomaterials today announced several new fiber developments that provide apparel designers sustainable, high-performance fibers and fabrics. The new fibers are designed to perform in a variety of applications, offering customers the ability to use a sustainable fiber\/fabric while continuing to meet their customers\u2019 need for high-quality and high-end fashion.

“Our years of experience and success in the fiber industry are unmatched,\u201d said Walter Fields, global business director, DuPont BioMaterials. “With DuPont\u2122 Sorona\u00ae, we have raised the bar, not only with the technology, but with the many strong and dedicated customers we have partnered with to work on these outstanding developments.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorona\u00ae, a breakthrough high-performance fiber, offers exceptional softness, comfort stretch and recovery, and chlorine and UV resistance in vivid color fabrics designed for easy care. All qualities that are appealing to designers who place a high value on quality and the ability to respond quickly to changing market needs. What\u2019s more, by replacing a traditionally petrochemical-based ingredient with one made with a renewably sourced ingredient, the production of Sorona\u00ae requires 30 percent less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions 63 percent compared to the production of an equal amount of nylon.<\/p>\n
The new fiber developments using DuPont\u2122 Sorona\u00ae are ideal for: <\/p>\n
Trousers & Jeans<\/b> \u2013 Comfort stretch staple fiber made with Sorona\u00ae can be blended with a variety of cellulosic fibers (e.g. cotton, wool or rayon) to create fabrics that provide comfort stretch with excellent recovery and natural touch with volume hand feel. It is a perfect fiber solution for stretch khaki, denim and dress pants and suits.<\/p>\n
Seamless Apparel<\/b> \u2013 In addition to its low temperature dye and finish manufacturing conditions, draw textured yarn (DTY) with Sorona\u00ae also offers outstanding texture and cottony softness. Air jet textured yarn (ATY) made with Sorona\u00ae provides great color fastness even after several washes and exposure to UV, resulting in bright or neon colors that dry faster in seamless applications. It\u2019s ideal for seamless underwear, sports tee and leisure wear, applications where comfort is paramount.<\/p>\n
Swimwear<\/b> \u2013 Sorona\u00ae filament fiber for swimwear has a unique soft hand, plus outstanding UV- and chlorine-resistant performance that stands up to color fading after frequent uses.<\/p>\n
Wrinkle release jackets<\/b> \u2013 Only authentic shape memory made with DuPont\u2122 Sorona\u00ae provides permanent wrinkle release performance. Sorona\u00ae filament fiber has a unique volume hand with built-in wrinkle release performance for easy care. And now, Sorona\u00ae in full dull luster offers another perfect look for trench coats and outerwear.<\/p>\n
