NOTH2582
Description:
Material made with renewable, petroleum-free ingredients. Made with biopolymer extracted from seaweed and a proprietary solution.
The collected seaweed goes through an extraction process that separates the biopolymer that becomes the basis of fibers.
Through a wet spinning process, the polymer chains begin to connect, orming thousands of fine filaments. These filaments are extruded into an aqueous solution and stretched to align their internal structure. A series of subsequent baths rinse and apply finish to the filaments prior to drying and spooling. The resulting material is then transformed into a staple fiber ready to begin the yarn spinning process.
Once the base fiber is formed, the material can be combined with other sustainable fibers, such as cotton or hemp.
It finds use wherever yarns and fabrics have an application, in the fashion industry, with applications in garments and accessories, and in other areas such as home furnishings, interiors and automotive.
