PLA Fibers

PLA fibers offer sustainability, resilience, dyeability, comfort, softness, strength, low flammability, and UV durability. Fiber Innovation Technology  makes PLA fibers (fibres) in staple and filament forms, as well as other specialty fibers and filaments. PLA fibers are made using Naturewoks™ poly(lactic acid), which is derived from corn or other plant sources.  This is why PLA fibers are sometimes referred to as "corn fibers."  Fibers from PLA are the newest, most exciting development in fiber technology.  Using our production versatility, we can make fibers that are customized for your specific needs.
