Sorona is an environmentally friendly and powerful fiber material that not only provides a soft and comfortable experience, but also achieves sustainability in production, making it an innovative material to watch.
Sorona , also known as Solona, is an advanced polymer platform developed by DuPont. This material is produced in an environmentally friendly way through a combination of biotechnology, while giving the fibers and fabrics unique properties.
Sorona polymer is mainly made of 1, 3-propylene glycol (PDO) and PTA (or DMT) two raw materials, of which PDO is the key raw material, accounting for 37% of the total raw material. Unlike traditional chemical fiber materials, PDO can be obtained through the fermentation of corn sugar, which makes Sorona part of the raw material from renewable resources, reducing the dependence on petroleum resources. Specifically, glucose is extracted from corn, fermented by genetically modified bacteria to produce PDO, which is then reacted with PTA to make Sorona fiber.
Sorona fibers have many characteristics that make them widely used in the textile industry. First of all, it has a soft feel and comfortable stretch and recovery, thanks to its unique semi-crystalline molecular structure. Secondly, Sorona fabrics are easy to dye and bright and long-lasting, while being chlorine, UV and stain resistant and easy to care for. In addition, compared to nylon polymers based on petrochemical materials, Sorona can reduce energy consumption by 30% and carbon dioxide emissions by 63% during the manufacturing process, significantly reducing the environmental footprint.
