1. What is Sorona

Sorona polymer is the world's technology leaders ---- ---- DuPont stage polymer spinning the latest. Sorona achieve a high performance and environmentally friendly products perfect unity.

2. Sorona Sorona end customers and the market is mainly used in fiber market, including textile and apparel yarns and fabrics, as well as residential, commercial and automotive carpet yarns. Currently used in Asia, mainly in clothing.

3. Sorona in the clothing field which features and applications Sorona excellent combination of properties in many apparel applications: excellent soft touch, comfortable elastic recovery properties and unique, and colorful, anti-chlorine / UV and so on. Sorona with any other fibers blended or interwoven - including man-made fibers (such as polyester, nylon, spandex, etc.) and natural fibers (such as cotton, linen and wool, etc.). Products widely used in shirts, pants, suits, jackets, jeans, underwear, sportswear and other fields.

4. Sorona reflect environmental values

Sorona has triple environmental value. First of all, compared to petrochemical raw materials from nylon 6 *, producing the same amount of Sorona polymer can be reduced to 30% of energy consumption. Secondly, compared to petrochemical raw materials from nylon 6 *, producing the same amount of Sorona polymer can reduce 63% of carbon dioxide emissions. And Sorona reduces the dependency of petroleum and petrochemical products, because it uses a non-petroleum derived from renewable resources (resources can be repeated within a year the growth obtained) as a raw material instead of petrochemical feedstocks. Sorona polymer weight ratio of 37% of raw materials from non-renewable petroleum resources, that Sorona compared with the traditional method of petrochemical synthetic fibers, can be less with 37% of the petrochemical feedstock. Furthermore, its excellent durability and wearability, such as not faded and difficult to deformation, so that Sorona fibers and clothing made more sustainable.

5. If Sorona 37 percent derived from renewable resources, the remaining 63% of the raw material composition is what?

Other ingredients (monomer) is currently made from petrochemical feedstock. Sorona are derived from renewable resources ingredients: bio-based PDO, and DMT (dimethyl terephthalate) or TPA (terephthalic acid) polymerization of Sorona polymer. Currently, DMT and TPA are derived from petrochemical feedstocks.

6. Sorona can recycle it?

Yes, Sorona can be recycled, which means it can be restored to its original ingredients. Meanwhile, Sorona also uses recycled polyester recycling processes.

7. What can prove Sorona is not entirely from the oil?

By determination of Sorona polymer of carbon atoms in age, it can be easily separated "old" petrochemical raw materials and ingredients, "young" biomass feedstock composition, thus proving Sorona stasis Fu Juuu save from petrochemical feedstocks. According to ASTM D6866 test standard, American Beta testing institutes and SGS are all Sorona polymer containing 28% of the biomass carbon were certified, please refer to "environmental advice" in the content.

8. What is the chemical name Sorona polymer?

Sorona chemical name is: polyethylene terephthalate (referred to as the PTT)

9. The production of Sorona use what resources derived from renewable raw materials?

Sorona is a polymer ---- "polymerization" means more than one raw material component. Sorona production requires two ingredients. The main ingredients ---- bio-based PDO (ie bio-based 1,3-propanediol) is the use of sugar fermentation (similar to the manufacture of beer) to get a process. Currently using sugar from corn. You may use the future to other sugar crops such as sugar cane, cassava and sugar beet. The product is made from bio-based PDO Biological Products Co. 杜邦泰特利 music production; the factory is located in Tennessee Lorton City, it is an equal equity joint venture.

10. Can I buy made with Sorona fibers or fabrics where?

Production and sale of DuPont Sorona polymer. We in Asia, especially China, Taiwan, South Korea and other customers a complete downstream resources, including fiber and fabric customers. DuPont does not sell fiber or fabric.
