Covation Biomaterials LLC (“CovationBio\u00ae”) is showcasing its two new bio-based innovations,\u00a0Xatryx\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sorona\u00ae elasterell-p fiber, at this year’s Functional Fabric Fair in New York City, July 7\u20139, 2026. Attendees can visit CovationBio at Booth #404 to explore this next generation of bio-based performance materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show will feature a Main Stage presentation by CovationBio Global Marketing Director for C4 Platform Mosha Zhao on Wednesday, July 8 at 3:35 p.m. The session will explore how Xatryx\u00ae, a second-generation bio-based raw material enables functional textile performance while advancing defossilization of the materials supply chain with an example of the partnership with Huafon on bio-elastane innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Xatryx\u00ae<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The newest breakthrough from Covationbio is Xatryx\u00ae bioPTMEG, a second generation, bio-based polyether glycol made from corncobs, an abundant and renewable non-food agricultural by-product. Visitors to the CovationBio booth will be some of the first to experience the ways in which Xatryx\u00ae provides functional performance paired with substantial sustainability benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n

Xatryx\u00ae is a drop-in replacement for traditional petroleum-based polytetramethylene ether glycol (or PTMEG). Downstream customers can easily switch to Xatryx\u00ae without process or production changes for performance apparel applications that traditionally use spandex, polyurethanes, and thermoplastic elastomers. Commercial production is expected to begin in the second half of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Sorona\u00ae elasterell-p fiber<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sorona\u00ae elasterell-p fiber is the first-of-its-kind U.S.-produced bicomponent stretch fiber made with 37 percent plant-based Sorona\u00ae polymer. The fiber delivers durable stretch and shape retention without the use of elastane and is now commercially available across the U.S. and Latin America with local stock and dedicated customer support through regional distribution partner Mercados Internacionales (MI). Sorona\u00ae elasterell-p fiber is ideal for activewear, athleisure, workwear, uniforms, and other apparel applications requiring long-lasting comfort and durable stretch performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Functional Fabric Fair brings together the designers and developers shaping the future of performance apparel and that’s exactly who we built these innovations for,” says CovationBio CEO Steven Ackerman.<\/strong> “Together, Xatryx\u00ae and Sorona\u00ae elasterell-p fiber show how we’re reducing friction and increasing performance for our value chain partners while helping them decrease their environmental impact.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
