CovationBio introduced Sorona elasterell-p fiber. Made with partially plant-based Sorona polymer, it is the first U.S. produced bicomponent stretch fiber offered by CovationBio. Sorona elasterell-p fiber delivers durable stretch and exceptional shape retention without the use of elastane, so garments keep their fit and recover their shape wear after wear, wash after wash. Designed for apparel applications that rely on responsive and durable stretch, including activewear and workwear, Sorona elasterell-p fiber offers the added benefit of its bio-based foundation, giving apparel brands the dual benefit of garments that perform and have a lower environmental footprint.
“Sorona elasterell-p fiber is our first branded fiber,” said CovationBio CEO Steven Ackerman. “As a partially bio-based polymer, Sorona has been an ingredient in innovative textile solutions used by leading apparel brands worldwide. With the introduction of Sorona elasterell-p fiber, we’re pairing our reputation for trusted performance and sustainability benefits with a new stretch solution built for what brands need next.”
Since its debut, Sorona polymer has grown into a globally recognized ingredient for apparel and home goods with a reputation for combining improved environmental impact with uncompromising performance for some of the world’s most recognizable brands. It is used to add softness, stretch, durability and warm breathability to fabrics across a variety of applications, including activewear, outerwear, workwear, ready-to-wear, high-fashion, carpet and more.
