Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does corn starch cellulose fabric consist of?
It is a polylactic acid, bio-based polymeric material, which is a fermentation of corn starch. The outcome is a soft, lightweight, plant-based and compostable fabric.
Can cellulose fabric made of corn starch be broken down?
Yes. It is totally biodegradable and compostable even at industrial levels and decomposes into natural components without any chemical residues.
How does corn starch fabric feel?
The fabric itself is ultra soft (silky-soft), lightweight and provides the best drape and breathability that is best suited to comfortable and practical fashion.
What is the eco-design rating of this fabric versus the conventional synthetics?
Unlike man-made fibres such as polyester, which are non-renewable, cellulose fabric produces its corn starch from renewable materials that degrade under natural conditions, providing circular textile alternatives to fossil-based textile materials.
Is it performance or casual wear?
Yes. It is moisture-absorbing, breathable and fibre-friendly, which makes it appropriate for active wear, inner wear and essentials needed every day, but should have both a high level of performance and sustainability.
Is it stained and dyed and finished, as are other fabrics?
Absolutely. Corn starch cellulose fabric offers a good dye uptake and has the flexibility to be finished using diverse sustainable finishing methods to accomplish fashion functions.
What is the durability of corn starch cellulose fabric?
It has a nice combination of strength and touch characteristics to be worn every day, but it is not perfect for garments that would benefit most from having high resistance.
Can this material be worn by sensitive skin?
Yes. It is completely hypoallergenic, non-toxic and free of petrochemicals, so it is very good for individuals with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
Do you have this fabric in bulk lots?
Yes. Ayurkruti aids in bulk-sourcing to labels, designers and manufacturers in switching to the next generation and plant-based mimicking alternatives.
