The DuPont Sorona brand team has announced that the company has launched a new brand architecture and hangtag programme designed to bring simplicity of choice and fabric confidence to designers and apparel brands. New fabric collections offered by mills are tested and certified through the DuPont Sorona Fabric Common Thread certification programme.
The programme assures that the fabrics have the unique molecular footprint of partially plant-based Sorona polymer as well as meet key fabric performance attributes. Starting now, apparel brands and designers will be able to request that mills provide their DuPont Sorona Fabric Common Thread certificate to show their Sorona fabrics truly have the unique fabric performance and feeling that Sorona fibres provide, the company said in a media statement.
New fabrics which are certified through the Common Thread Fabric certification programme will provide the Sorona fabric performance characteristics that designers and apparel brands are searching for. Sorona Agile fabrics help to provide better resistance to heat, UV rays and chlorine. Sorona Agile fabrics are ideal as an alternative in any garment where spandex-free stretch is needed.
Sorona Revive fabrics provide long-lasting performance with shape retention and stretch recovery – thereby avoiding undesired fabric sagging and bagging. When used in athletic wear to casual wear, Sorona Revive fabrics are soft with dimensional stability. Sorona Profile fabrics retain their shape and provide a consistently smooth look wear-after-wear. Used as a replacement for 100 per cent nylon-based fabrics, Sorona Profile fabrics have improved crease recovery while maintaining a rich hand-feel that redefines softness. Sorona Profile fabrics help every garment it is used in return to form time and time again.
Sorona Luxe fabrics afford natural fibre blends, enhanced performance, softness, and recovery. From linen and wool to silk and cotton, natural fabrics now have a smooth hand-feel with comfort stretch, dimensional stability and reduced pilling. Lightweight Sorona Aura insulation fill provides unparalleled softness that redefines how warmth should feel with outstanding fill power and a higher level of thermal insulation. From jackets and pants to gloves and hats, the only thing Sorona Aura insulation fill retains more than its shape is warmth.
“Fibre producers are able to create many unique constructions from Sorona polymer enabling a wide variety of textiles exhibiting diverse performance properties from wrinkle-resistant outerwear fabrics to lightweight breathable insulation products, permanent stretch and recovery, and newly launched Sorona faux fur. We are committed to ensuring that mills, designers and brands have clarity on our offering and that they can trust the source of the materials when they’re choosing fabrics using Sorona,” DuPont biomaterials global marketing director Renee Henze said.
