What is PLA Fiber (Polylactic Acid Fibers)? PLA fiber, also known as corn fiber, is made from starch based biomass such as corn and potato. PLA fiber has environmental protection, non-toxic, antibacterial, flame retardant and good biocompatibility, and can be completely biodegradable under normal composting conditions. PLA Fiber is made from PLA (PolyLactic Acid). also,…

Microfiber Microfiber fabric, produced with polyester fibers, has properties like moisture-wicking and moisture resistance which makes them ideal for making sports apparel. They are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. They can also be water repellent and can be worn to resist rain and wind conditions. Microfiber can also be a blend of polyester and nylon fibers…

What are Synthetic Fibers?  Synthetic fibers are artificial fibers ; they are made from synthetic polymers, which come from oil, coal, and other petrol-based chemicals (monomers). The process of joining these monomers is known as polymerisation, and then the mixed polymers are spun (twisted) into yarns. Synthetic fibers fall into groups based on the polymer…

Also, the production speed for making…

What is polyamide? Polyamides are among the most important engineering thermoplastics but are also processed into fibers in very large quantities. Polyamides are tough materials that are characterized by high strength and elongation. Good abrasion and wear resistance as well as water-repellent properties permit many applications, especially in the clothing industry. Best known are Nylon…

What is down? Down is a natural material from either duck or geese. The quality of down is indicated by its loft, or fluffiness, which is calculated by the amount of space one cubic ounce of down can fill. Good quality down comes from birds that have reached their full maturity, and therefore possess down with the highest loft….
