Product description
PLA staple fiber is a type of polylactic acid fiber derived from renewable resources such as corn starch and sugarcane. For this reason, it is often referred to as corn fiber in the textile industry.
As staple fibers, PLA staples offer a soft hand feel, stable crimp, and good resilience. They can be blended with natural fibers like cotton or wool, as well as with synthetic fibers, providing versatility for textile and nonwoven manufacturers. Compared with conventional petroleum-based fibers, PLA staple fibers have the advantage of being industrially compostable, offering an eco-friendly alternative for apparel, filling, and disposable products.
Application Categories
Spinning & Yarn Production
PLA staple fibers spin well on conventional systems and are used alone or in blends as a lower-carbon alternative to petroleum-based staple fibers.
Filling Materials
PLA staple fiber provides loft, insulation and light weight for bedding, apparel and outdoor products.For more detailed information, refer to “PLA Fiber: A New Eco-Friendly and Comfortable Choice for Home Living”
Nonwoven Fabric Manufacturing
PLA staple fibers are increasingly used for needled, thermal-bonded and other nonwovens in horticulture, geotextiles and selected hygiene/packaging applications.For more detailed information, refer to “Application of PLA Needled Non-woven Fabric in Horticulture and Geotextile Materials”
Application Areas
Apparel Fabrics:PLA staples, whether used alone or blended with various materials such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, viscose, and lyocell, can create a wide range of clothing fabrics.
Disposable Sanitary, Medical Supplies, and Packaging Materials: PLA staple is also extensively utilized in packaging and disposable consumer goods, particularly in sanitary products like urine pads, diapers, and sanitary napkins.
FAQ
What is Corn Fiber?
Corn fiber is another name for polylactic acid fiber, a biopolymer derived from renewable resources like corn starch. When processed into PLA staple fibers, it becomes fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Why choose PLA Staple Fibers over conventional staple fibers?
PLA staple fibers, made from corn fiber, provide resilience, smooth texture, and antibacterial properties while being sustainable and biodegradable. Compared with traditional synthetic staple fibers, polylactic acid fibers offer a greener and safer option for textiles, nonwoven fabrics, and filling materials.
