Polylactic acid or PLA has become one of the most popular materials due to it being produced economically from 100% renewable resources. Its antibacterial and flame retardant qualities make it great for many applications and industries such as medical & healthcare, fashion & apparel, home textiles, agricultural & gardening, packaging materials, and more.

Benefits of PLA Non-woven Fabrics:

Environmentally friendly

PLA is 100% renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic. When burned or buried in soil, it does not produce toxic gas, rather it decomposes completely into carbon dioxide and water which will not pollute the environment. PLA non-woven are made from PLA resin or fibers which are produced from bioplastics derived from natural sources like starch and sugar.

Strong yet soft like traditional non-woven

PLA fibers are very durable due to its 95% crimp resilience which is better than any other chemical fiber on the market. While being very strong, this textile remains soft to the touch making it comfortable yet long-lasting.

It has a very attractive biocompatibility profile and is resorbable and safe in terms of cytotoxicity versus synthetic fibers. In the modern medical field, the use of non-woven fabrics is becoming more widespread and the use rate is getting higher and higher. Because non-woven products are mostly disposable products, it can effectively prevent bacterial cross-infection. In addition to being used in general home textiles, PLA non-woven supplies are widely used in hospital patients’ rooms and operating rooms.
