DuPont has created a breakthrough technology to make renewably sourced materials for automotive carpet, fabric and plastic parts. Fibers made with Sorona® provide a unique set of features, such as softness and stain resistance, that open the door to bold new designs. Not only will drivers and passengers enjoy the performance of these materials, they will feel good about doing their part for the environment.
The unique molecular structure of Sorona® allows carpet to achieve the resiliency of nylon and softness of polyester plus built-in stain resistance.
Sometime life gets messy. To help in the cleanup, Sorona® offers permanent stain resistance that's built right into the fiber -- not a topical treatment. Since it's not a topical treatment, the stain resistance can't wear or wash off like typical stain treatments often do. Sorona® has a lower moisture content, allowing carpets to dry faster resulting in reduced chance for odor and mildew. This makes vehicles easier to clean and maintain for greater driver satisfaction.
The same stain resistance advantage Sorona® applies to fabrics used for seat covers, door trim and headliners. In addition, automotive fabrics made with Sorona® offer brilliant solors, luxurious feel, superior stretch and recovery, and increased durability.
