Bio-Based Spandex

2024-09-06News 6810

Recommendation Reasons

Using renewable biological substances to replace the traditional petroleum

raw material, which greatly reduces the carbon emissions of spandex

products. On the basis of maintaining product performance, providing

consumers with green spandex products.

Processing Technology

By using biobased monomers, which are derived from renewable biomass via biofermentation,

linear bio-based polyester diols are synthesized by polycondensation and dehydration reaction.

Afterwards, all or part of the bio-based polyester diols are used as the raw material to prepare

spinning stock solution, and finally the bio-based spandex fibers are produced by dry spinning

technology.

Q: What are the promotion advantages of bio-based spandex compared with conventional spandex?

A: Bio-based spandex is a renewable elastic fiber made from bio-based raw materials. Compared with conventional spandex, it can greatly reduce the carbon footprint, and has the advantages of energy conservation and emission reduction, as well as green and environmental protection. In addition, it can be combined with other natural fibers and synthetic fibers in sportswear, ready-to-wear and other textile fields. Under the current strategic targets of “carbon neutrality” and “carbon peaking ” , the market size of bio-based spandex will continue to expand.
