Corn fiber In recent years, the American Food Association and CARGILL-DOW Polymers and Japan's Zhongfang Fiber Company have jointly developed a new type of environmentally friendly fiber, which is a polylactic acid fiber made from corn, namely PLA. Fiber, trade name "INGEO". Corn fiber is developed by the US joint venture CARGILL-DOW. CARGILL is mainly a company that develops agricultural and shell technology. DOW is a major producer of chemical raw materials. In 1997, two companies jointly organized CARGILL-DOW to jointly develop and produce. The process of corn fiber. It also authorized Japan Bell Spinning Fiber Co., Ltd. and Shimadzu Corporation to jointly develop the corn fiber with the trade name "LACYRON". In 2003, Taiwan Far East Textile Co., Ltd. was also authorized to produce corn fiber in the second state of Asia after Japan's clock spinning. The trade name is still "INGEO". The benefits of corn fiber: Most of the chemical fiber raw materials are from petroleum, and their products pollute the earth during the decomposition process. Corn fiber is a PLA plant fiber made from corn. It adopts the concept of environmental protection. Because of the high decomposability of plant fibers, it can achieve environmental protection. The effect. The burning value of PLA fiber is as low as that of paper, and no gas such as nitride is generated after combustion, and the pollution which is finally incinerated is also light. Starch began to be made into polylactic acid----polypropylene produced into poly-----made into various products----disposed after use---buried in soil or treated in water---by microbial decomposition - Produce carbon dioxide and water - through photosynthesis - into raw starch.

According to the Japanese Journal of Fiber Science, the "LACYRON" fiber raw material starch regeneration cycle is short, about 1-2 cycles.
The cycle from raw materials to products:
Through the recycling process, both the initial raw starch can be obtained and the photosynthesis can be used to reduce the carbon dioxide content in the air.
PLA fiber has high decomposability and adopts the soil-receiving method. It is almost completely decomposed in 2-3 years. It adopts seawater immersion method, active river mud method and standard packing method. The result is also completely decomposed, and its solution is very high.
The characteristics of the corn fiber are matched with the characteristics of the knitted fabric to make the fabric more fluffy and soft, the fabric has strong form stability, good gloss appearance, and the hydrophobic property has a dry feeling when it comes into contact with the skin, and is not irritating to the skin.
Corn fiber has the characteristics of complete natural circulation and biodegradation, which is very beneficial to the earth's ecology. Corn is the most abundant agricultural product in the world and it is inexhaustible.
However, there are still many problems in the production of corn fiber fabrics. The process conditions are immature and need to be improved. However, corn fiber is an ecological fiber with great development potential. It is worthy of development by the industry. I believe that in the near future, various problems will be solved. After being overcome, corn fiber is the most popular environmentally friendly textile material in the 21st century.
