SORONA's fiber franchiseers can produce high-quality fiber products of various specifications. Including short fibers, two-component fibers, single-component fibers, shaped cross-sectional fibers, and moisture absorption. Various filaments or short fibers can make the fabric factory design and produce all kinds of fabrics - from a light lining cloth, the ultraviolet swimsuit and comfortable garment, to the thick shake fabric and stylish jacket. The fibers made of SORONA can be blended with any natural or synthetic fibers, even elastic fibers, thus impart extremely soft feel, long-lasting conformality, bright colors, excellent color fastness, good moisture absorption Performance, comfortable tensile recovery and stain resistance and wrinkle performance, etc.
SORONA, Chinese Sorona, SORONA polymer is made of two main raw materials of 1,3-propanediol (PDO) and PTA (or DMT). Where PDO is a key raw material, accounting for 37% of total raw materials. PDO can be made by petrochemical processes, and US DuPont successfully utilizes cornose fermentation to efficiently produce PDO needed to produce Sorona, thus injecting environmental protection for chemical fiber.
Glucose is obtained from corn, and the PDO (1,3 propanediol) is generated under the action of genetically modified bacteria, and the PDO is purified and dehydrated. At this time, the PDO looks a clear and slightly viscous liquid. The addition of PTA (terephthalic acid), after the reaction, Sorona slices can be produced to produce Sorona fibers.
