New certification tests for Sorona’s 'molecular footprint'

29/04/2020
The DuPont Sorona team is launching a certification process and hangtag system for mills, to “assure the fabrics have the molecular footprint of partially plant-based polymer”.

Brands will be able to request that mills provide a Fabric Common Thread Certificate.

DuPont has also created five fabric collections that demonstrate the signature performance attributes: Sorona Agile (stretch), Sorona Revive (shape recovery), Sorona Profile (easy care), Sorona Luxe (softness) and Lightweight Sorona Aura insulation fill.

“Fibre producers are able to create many unique constructions from Sorona polymer enabling a wide variety of textiles exhibiting diverse performance properties from wrinkle-resistant outerwear fabrics to lightweight breathable insulation products, permanent stretch and recovery, and newly launched Sorona faux fur,” explained DuPont Biomaterials global marketing director Renee Henze.

“We are committed to ensuring that mills, designers and brands have clarity on our offering and that they can trust the source of the materials when they’re choosing fabrics using Sorona.
