DuPont Biomaterials and Lenzing are launching a fabric collection made predominantly of fibers derived from natural materials. The collaboration blends DuPont Sorona fibers and TENCEL Lyocell and TENCEL Modal fibers from Lenzing, to give soft garments greater resilience in stretch, recovery and dimensional stability.
The new certified mill-collection will expand the future of sustainable textiles for designers to use in various applications, including activewear, ready-to-wear, intimate apparel and denim.
DuPont's Sorona brand is made from 37 percent renewable plant-based ingredients and offers a high-performing, responsibly sourced material option. The blend of DuPont Sorona fibers and TENCEL Lyocell and TENCEL Modal fibers encompasses an entire range of constructions, colors and weights.
There are many stretch fabrics in this collection offering designers spandex-free options. Sorona polymer fibers offer the comfort stretch performance without breaking down overtime, due to heat, UV rays, or chlorine exposure meaning clothes continue to look, feel and perform great.
