DuPont collaborates with JayaShree Textiles for new fabric collection

DuPont India has collaborated with JayaShree Textiles to launch a fabric collection made with DuPont Biomaterials Sorona®, a sustainable, partially bio-based polymer. For this collection, both companies blended linen and partially bio-based Sorona® fibers to create garments with exceptional stretch and recovery, luxurious drape and a smooth, soft hand feel.

As per a Textile World report, Sorona® fibers offer many technical and performance benefits, including incredible softness, stretch and recovery, and inherent stain resistance without the need for topical treatments. The fibers have been certified by USDA as an OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 product. A unit of Grasim Industries, JayaShree Textiles has revolutionized the Indian textile market by popularizing linen in India. The company makes the finest, most fashionable linen using advanced European technology and high-quality flax sourced from Belgium and France.

Its Sorona® brand — made from 37 per cent renewable plant-based ingredients — offers a high-performing, responsibly sourced material option. Fibers made with Sorona® polymer are currently used in various apparel applications, including athleisure and athletic wear, insulation, swimwear, outerwear, suiting, faux fur, etc.
