Milk Fiber was firstly introduced in 1930 in Italy & America to compete the wool. It is new generation of innovative Fiber & a kind of synthetic Fiber made of milk casein Fiber through bio-engineering method with biological health which has passed international ecological certification of oeko-tex standard100. There are also some different brands for the same fiber manufactured from milk casein known as Aralac, Lanatil and Merinova.
