Types of PLA Fiber PLA fibers are primarily categorized into two types: short fibers and filament yarns. PLA Short Fibers These fibers possess mechanical properties such as strength and elasticity. They can be used in pure spun products or blended with other fibers like cotton, wool, linen, lyocell, and modal. eSUN offers various PLA short…
Polylactic acid (PLA) staple fiber is a sustainable, bio-based material made from renewable resources such as corn starch. As the global demand for biodegradable alternatives increases, PLA staple has emerged as a key player in the transition toward greener materials across various industries. 1. What Is PLA Staple? PLA staple is a short-cut fiber derived…
Polylactic acid (PLA) yarn, derived from renewable plant-based resources, is gaining significant traction in the textile industry as a biodegradable and eco-conscious alternative to traditional synthetic fibers. eSUN offers a diverse portfolio of PLA yarns—ranging from monofilament to fully drawn yarn (FDY) and draw-textured yarn (DTY)—engineered to meet the needs of apparel, packaging, medical, and…
eSUN’s PLA Air Through Non-woven Fabric represents a significant advancement in eco-friendly materials, combining sustainability with high performance. Product Overview This non-woven fabric is crafted from polylactic acid (PLA) bi-component fibers featuring a sheath-core structure. The outer sheath has a low melting point, allowing it to bond fibers together during the hot air-through process, while…
The Rise of ES Fiber In recent years, ES (ethylene–propylene side-by-side) fiber has gained significant traction in the nonwoven industry. Characterized by its core-sheath structure—where the sheath has a low melting point and the core offers mechanical strength—ES fiber performs exceptionally well in thermal bonding processes like hot air-through. This makes it ideal for hygiene…
