JP Modatex India and DuPont Biomaterials have launched a new spun yarn collection blended with natural fibers and DuPont Sorona staple fibers. The collection combines the linen and partially plant-based Sorona fibers to create spun yarns for use in various applications, including dresses, shirting, pants and skirts, denim, and jackets. Sorona® is a perfect choice for brands looking for sustainability and performance. Sorona® is 37% plant-based, using 30% less energy and emitting 50% less GHG (greenhouse gas) than the production of nylon from non-renewable resources.
The resulting fabric imparts comfort stretch, moisture management, and a luxurious drape and hand feel. Until now, quality stretch linen was not available due to the incompatibility of linen and spandex. This new concept fills a need for stretch linen without spandex and is an ideal option for designers seeking a sustainable solution.
Sorona® answers the global call for sustainably sourced fabrics, bridging the personal and societal at a defining moment in our ecological stewardship. Sorona® allows you to make sustainability a reality. Sustainably sourced fabrics by Sorona® are ready for many applications. Its unique molecular structure makes the Sorona® polymer ideal for a wide range of apparel. Using different fiber variations – alone or blended with synthetic or natural fibers – Sorona® fabrics deliver performance benefits that matter to eco-conscious consumers.
There are various Sorona® fibers available for various applications; Sorona® Agile is the new standard in resilient, comfortable activewear. It is a superior substitute for spandex; it keeps its original shape longer and is wrinkle-resistant. Sorona® Luxe gives linen, wool, silk, and cotton a rich hand feel. It gives natural fiber blends softness and comfort superior to polyester fiber or nylon fiber blends.
Mr. Jindas Jain, Founder-CEO, JP Modatex, said that at JP Modatex, they take satisfaction in traveling the road less traveled by others, and as a result of this mentality, they have always focused on cutting-edge innovation to bring high-quality specialty products to market. When they decided to start using Sorona fibers in combination with other fibers like Lyocell and linen, they made a very careful decision because there was a need in these segments where comfort stretch was lacking because it was either impossible to incorporate spandex into the mix (OR) processing such fabrics in combination with spandex was a nightmare.
