PLA Fibers

PLA fibers are a type of biodegradable and biobased synthetic fiber derived from renewable resources, primarily corn starch or sugarcane. The process of PLA fibers production typically begins with the fermentation of sugars to produce lactic acid, followed by condensation or ring-opening polymerization to form PLA. Once the PLA is synthesized, it can be processed into fibers through methods such as melt-spinning or solution-spinning. PLA fibers exhibit excellent strength and thermal stability, making them suitable for a variety of applications, including textiles, non-woven materials, and packaging. Additionally, they offer good dyeability and a soft feel, making them an attractive alternative to traditional petroleum-based fibers in the pursuit of sustainable materials.

Product Details

Applications

• Toy Fillings
  
  • For this application, the product has inherently non-flammable, reducing risks during children's playtime. And it also offers smooth texture, UV resistance, and low allergenicity, ensuring safety and comfort for children.
• Bedding Fillings
  
  • For this application, the product can effectively reduce mite activity, providing anti-mite properties. And it has excellent warmth retention with superior breathability, and features non-flammable property, smooth texture, UV resistance, and low allergenicity, making it ideal for bedding and related applications.

Key Features of Our Products

• With a pH value of approximately 6, our PLA fibers exhibit a mildly acidic nature, contributing to their compatibility with sensitive applications.
• Our PLA fibers have been tested to achieve a high inhibition rate (more than 70%) against mites.
• Our PLA fibers demonstrate remarkable antibacterial effectiveness (with over 98% antibacterial rate) for Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli.
• The production of PLA fibers involves no addition of anti-mite or antibacterial chemicals.

Advantages of Our PLA Fibers

• Natural Flame Retardancy: Our PLA fibers are inherently flame-retardant, with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) higher than polyester and nylon, making them safer for various applications.
• Superior Thermal Insulation: Our PLA fibers provide 1.8 times the insulation performance of premium cotton cores, ensuring warmth and comfort in end-use products.
• Excellent Resilience and Comfort: Our PLA fibers feature excellent elasticity, strong loft, smooth texture, quick-drying property, and UV resistance, making them versatile and durable for multiple uses.
