🆕 Corn as a fabric is a relatively new concept in the textile industry. This is created after obtaining polyamide from fermented plant sugars derived from the cereal.
👩🏻🌾 The manufacturing process could be summarized in three steps:
1. The initial stage of production consists of the manufacture of plant sugar from corn.
2. The next step is to ferment the sugar. And the residue obtained is converted into polyamide.
3. From the polyamide, the fiber can be created for the creation of fabrics.
The fabrics from corn fibers are soft and give a lot of benefits, versatility and creativity to the possible designs.
