At DuPont, we’re creating sustainable, innovative, market-driven solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges. DuPont Biomaterials is poised to deliver through technologies such as DuPont™ Sorona®, a breakthrough bio-based, high performance polymer used in apparel. From yoga wear to denim to everything in-between, Sorona® minimizes the impact on the environment while offering unique performance benefits including incredible softness, stretch & recovery, and wrinkle resistance.
This session explores the next big thing in stretch! Replace spandex (or elastane) with Sorona® stretch fibers to achieve long-lasting, mechanical stretch and excellent recovery with a better-for-the-planet profile. Unlike spandex, stretch from Sorona® fibers doesn't breakdown overtime, with heat, washing, UV rays, or chlorine exposure meaning clothes continue to look, feel, and perform great each time you wear them. Sorona® fibers are also dyeable and recyclable in any normal polyester recycling stream. Join this workshop to learn more about mechanical stretch and feel some samples for yourself!
