PLA Fiber
Finess: 1.3D-12D
Length: 5mm-102mm
Description
In the new century, It has been a hotspot of textile consumption that clothing with high-tech, function and environmental-friendly. PLA (Corn) fiber is developed by the Japanese Corn Fiber Research Institute. As the raw material, the corn is fermented to the lactic acid, and then transformed into a high-performance polymer called polylactide, finally the PLA (corn) fiber is extruded from this polymer by melt-spinning.
1. The fibre with good strength, the corresponding fabric with many properties, such as gentle bright luster, good crease recovery and shrink resistance, good air-permeability and moisture absorption, high resistance to UV. Moreover, it is soft, silk-like luster, comfortable handle, exquisite skin sensation, bacteria resistance and mildew-proof. After dyeing, many small holes can be found on the side surface, which has the same effect as wool squama, such as absorbing moisture, quick dry and breathing freely. The clothing made of it with graceful drapability, wash and wear treatment, rebound resilience, size stability to the many solvents including dry cleaning agent, dirt resistance, endurance to the sunlight and the climate, it is a new generation of green fibre.
2. This fibre can replace many various textile materials, it is most fit for clothing, can be made into yarn, fabric, knitting, nonwoven, staple fiber, multifilament and single filament. It can be spun into pure yarn, at the same time, it can be spun with cotton, wool, viscose and other chemical fibers.It has been widely used in underwear, outer coat, Sports wears, shirt, T shirt, jacket, trousers and dress. It is regarded as an environmental-friendly new textile material. It blends the humanity, nature and technology into a unity concordantly.
3. It can be biodegradable completely, disperse dyeing. The products made of them will be decomposed to Co2 and H2O after the microbe function in the soil or seawater. It dose not emit poisonous gas when it is burning, so it does not pollute the environment. We can predict that PLA (corn) fiber and its fabric will become one of the dominant product in the 21th century.
Main features in clothing industry:
● Soft handle, which assures you of an irreplaceable good feeling.
● Low flammability (LOI 26+) and less smoke generation.
● With good wrinkle and shrink resistance, graceful drapability, easy care;
● Good air-permeability, moisture absorption which make you free from the discomforts caused by sweating;
● Low index of refraction, which provides excellent color characteristics, with the shiny luster as silk;
● UV-cut, fastness to sunlight.
● Antimicrobial, mildewproof, keep your skin clean and safe;
● Biodegradable completely and environment-friendly.
Application in other fields:
● Corn fiber is widely used in medical field, such as seam after operations, non-woven fabric, bandage, gauze, absorbent cotton. Its composite material is used as fixup in bone joints.
● Baby diapers, sanitary towels, brassiere, food containers, travel things, etc.
● PLA (Corn) fiber can be made into yarn, fabric and non-woven fabric; it can be processed into staple fiber, multifilament and monofilament; it can be spun with cotton, wool and viscose. Being perfect and environment-friendly, it is very popular in Europe and America in the present world.
PLA (Corn) fiber is a green and reproducible fiber, and friendly wtih our environment. It is an ecological fiber with great potential. So we have every reason to believe that PLA (Corn) fiber is sure to be the Number One textile product of the 21st century.
