Sorona fabric

What is Sorona fabric?

• Sorona fiber is an innovative form of polyester that was commercialized by DuPont and has been very successful since its introduction. 
• It combines the suppleness of nylon with the bulkiness of acrylic and the stain resistance that polyester possesses, as well as its intrinsic elasticity. 
• As a result of its combination of the outstanding wearability advantages of a number of different fibers, sorona has emerged as a new broad category of fibers that are suitable for a diverse range of applications. 

History

• The unique bio-based monomer Bio-PDO served as the foundation for the creation of the polymer known as Sorona, which was developed by DuPont in the late 1990s. 
• The collection of feedstock and the extraction of glucose from the plants that are used in the manufacture of DuPont Sorona is the first step in the process. 
• Following this step, proprietary microorganisms are introduced into the sugar fermentation process in order to produce Bio-PDO. 
• The addition of TPA (terephthalic acid) to the monomer results in the creation of Sorona polymer.
• This provides spinners, mills, merchants, and customers with a high-quality, eco-efficient product that, according to DuPont.
