Renewably Sourced™ Sorona® for High-Performance Automotive Fabric
Cleaner, greener, and built to last, automotive fabric created with Sorona® raises the bar across the board.
A Game-Changer for Automotive Fabric
Sorona® delivers the resiliency of nylon combined with the softness of polyester. Sorona® is quick-drying, durable, easy to clean, and it holds rich, vibrant colors fast. Best of all, Renewably Sourced™ Sorona® can help auto manufacturers meet their sustainable design goals.
Automotive Fabric with Permanent, Built-in Stain Resistance
Stain resistance is wired into the very DNA of Sorona® — engineered directly into the fiber’s molecular structure — so, unlike topical treatments, the stain resistance of Sorona® automotive fabric can never wear off, no matter how many miles on the odometer.
Easier on the Environment
Sorona® contains 37% renewably sourced, plant-based material by weight. Sorona® also requires less non-renewable, energy to produce than comparable materials, like nylon 6 and nylon 6,6. That means the manufacture of Sorona® results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions and helps reduce petroleum consumption.
Quick-Drying for Fresher Air
Sorona® has a lower moisture content, so seat covers, door trim, and headliners dry quickly, making them easy to clean. Quick-drying automotive fabric made with Sorona® discourages the development of mildew and odor, for fresher auto interior air.
