Breaking Through! eSUNFiber's PLA Fiber Apparel Applications See New Hope
From March 11 to 13, the 2025 Yarnexpo Spring was grandly held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai.
eSUNFiber is primarily dedicated to the industrial application of polylactic acid (PLA) fiber and non-woven fabrics. At the 2025 Yarnexpo Spring, eSUNFiber collaborated with YANGZHOU HUITONG BIOMATERIALS CORP.,Ltd. for a joint exhibition, offering visitors a one-stop service experience for PLA fiber applications. The event attracted numerous industry professionals who stopped by for discussions and exchanges.
A key highlight of the exhibition was the application of PLA yarn in textiles and apparel. eSUNFiber, in collaboration with industry partners, has successfully addressed the challenges of PLA fiber's strength degradation and dyeing difficulties, achieving a major breakthrough. This marks a new dawn for PLA fiber in the textile and apparel industry!
PLA fiber offers three major benefits in textile and apparel applications: skin-friendly care, antibacterial and deodorizing properties, and moisture-wicking with quick-drying capabilities.
The skin-friendly care and antibacterial deodorizing functions are mainly attributed to the weak acidity of PLA fiber. The gradual release of lactic acid helps remove keratin, promotes epidermal metabolism, and supports collagen growth. Additionally, the acidity of PLA fiber can destroy the cell structure of odor-causing bacteria, effectively eliminating odors.
In terms of performance, PLA fiber has a low thermal conductivity, providing excellent insulation in winter. Meanwhile, its outstanding moisture-wicking and sweat-absorbing properties enable rapid water diffusion and evaporation, which helps quickly dissipate body heat, offering a cooling effect in summer.
On March 11, Duan Xiaoping, Vice President of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, and Chen Xinwei, President of the China Chemical Fibers Association, visited the eSUNFiber booth for guidance. They highly praised and recognized the blending of PLA fiber with wool and cotton.
The development of bio-based fibers is crucial for accelerating the green transformation of the textile industry. eSUNFiber welcomes in-depth collaboration with upstream and downstream industry partners to jointly promote the industrial application and innovation of PLA fiber.
