WILMINGTON – DuPont Sorona, a brand of the US chemicals company, has launched a new hangtag programme designed to simplify the selection process of iterations of its partially plant-based polymer.
The Fabric Common Thread certification programme has been introduced to offer assurances to brands and apparel customers that the products they buy hold the performance characteristics they’re in search of.
There are a number of attributes that can be imparted into Sorona fibres – which are said to represent a more sustainable alternative to nylon 6, emitting 63 per cent fewer greenhouse gasses during production – including shape retention, heat protection and dimensional stability.
