In the new
century, It has
been a hotspot
of textile
consumption that
clothing with
high-tech,
function and
environmental-friendly.
Corn fiber is
developed by the
Japanese Corn
Fiber Research
Institute. As
the raw
material, the
corn is
fermented to the
lactic acid, and
then transformed
into a
high-performance
polymer called polylactide,
finally the corn
fiber is
extruded from
this polymer by
melt-spinning.

The
fibre
with
good
strength,
the
corresponding
fabric
with
many
properties,
such as
gentle
bright
luster,
good
crease
recovery
and
shrink
resistance,
good
air-permeability
and
moisture
absorption,
high
resistance
to UV.
Moreover,
it is
soft,
silk-like
luster,
comfortable
handle,
exquisite
skin
sensation,
bacteria
resistance
and
mildew-proof.
After
dyeing,
many
small
holes
can be
found on
the side
surface,
which
has the
same
effect
as wool
squama,
such as
absorbing
moisture,
quick
dry and
breathing
freely.
The
clothing
made of
it with
graceful
drapability,
wash and
wear
treatment,
rebound
resilience,
size
stability
to the
many
solvents
including
dry
cleaning
agent,
dirt
resistance,
endurance
to the
sunlight
and the
climate,
it is a
new
generation
of green
fibre.

This
fibre
can
replace
many
various
textile
materials,
it is
most fit
for
clothing,
can be
made
into
yarn,
fabric,
knitting,
nonwoven,
staple
fiber,
multifilament
and
single
filament.
It can
be spun
into
pure
yarn, at
the same
time, it
can be
spun
with
cotton,
wool,
viscose
and
other
chemical
fibers.It
has been
widely
used in
underwear,
outer
coat,
Sports
wears,
shirt, T
shirt,
jacket,
trousers
and
dress.
It is
regarded
as an
environmental-friendly
new
textile
material.
It
blends
the
humanity,
nature
and
technology
into a
unity
concordantly.
|
|
|
3. |
It can
be
biodegradable
completely,
disperse
dyeing.
The
products
made of
them
will be
decomposed
to Co2
and H2O
after
the
microbe
function
in the
soil or
seawater.
It dose
not emit
poisonous
gas when
it is
burning,
so it
does not
pollute
the
environment.
We can
predict
that
corn
fibre
and its
fabric
will
become
one of
the
dominant
product
in the
21th
century.

Application
in other
fields:
|
|
|
●
|
Corn
fiber is
widely
used in
medical
field,
such as
seam
after
operations,
non-woven
fabric,
bandage,
gauze,
absorbent
cotton.
Its
composite
material
is used
as fixup
in bone
joints.

|
●
|
Baby
diapers,
sanitary
towels,
brassiere,
food
containers,
travel
things,
etc.

|
Corn
fiber
can be
made
into
yarn,
fabric
and
non-woven
fabric;
it can
be
processed
into
staple
fiber,
multifilament
and
monofilament;
it can
be spun
with
cotton,
wool and
viscose.
Being
perfect
and
environment-friendly,
it is
very
popular
in
Europe
and
America
in the
present
world. |

|
|
|
|
Corn fiber is a
green and
reproducible
fiber, and
friendly wtih
our environment.
It is an
ecological fiber
with great
potential. So we
have every
reason to
believe that
corn fiber is
sure to be the
Number One
textile product
of the 21st
century. |
