PLALEAVES - Premium Natural Fibres Wholesaler, Nature Materials Manufacturer, Sustainable Fabrics Suppliers, PLA Fabric Manufacturer in China
Polyester is currently used in clothing and related fiber applications, mainly poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET), which accounts for more than 40% of the world's textiles consumption (second only to cotton), and its use continues to increase. But the production of this polyester textiles consumes fossil fuel resources and disposal polymers are added to the landfill because they are not sustainable textiles, not biodegradable and are not easy to recycle. In contrast, PLA fiber is bio based material, derived from annually renewable crops, it is 100% compostable, and its life cycle may reduce the earth's carbon dioxide levels. Recognized by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the European Commission believes that PLA(Polylactic Acid) fiber is a new synthetic general category, a bio based fabrics and new sustainable fabrics.
The PLA fiber further enhances the effectiveness of this new method of producing melt-spun fibers.
PLA is considered to be the most promising sustainable bio-fiber to replace the traditional polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester fiber in textile products.
The natural advantages of sustainable fabrics, PLA fabrics are obvious (PLA material properties):
1. Lactic acid, the raw material of Polylactic Acid fabric, is an endogenous substance in the human body. Polylactic Acid fabric can be decomposed into lactic acid in the human body for metabolic absorption, and has shown maturity and large-scale application in the field.
2. PLA is a melt-processable bio-based thermoplastic that can be melt-spun into Polylactic Acid filaments. In the case of avoiding (strong) alkaline conditions, it can be dyed with disperse dyes or direct dyes using traditional techniques.
3. PLA raw materials are completely derived from nature, are bio-based, renewable, biodegradable, and sustainable material.
4. PLA fabric is bio based polyester, has natural skin-friendly properties, natural skin feel and breathability.
5. PLA can be blended with other raw materials, such as PLA cotton blending, PLA Tencel blending, PLA modal blending, etc.6. PLA raw material has natural weak acidity, and its antibacterial rate against Myxococcus albicans, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus is more than 95%. Its natural antibacterial properties are different from the antibacterial treatment of fabrics with chemical raw materials. What it can effectively achieve is the balance of various flora, which is beneficial to patients with skin diseases or skin allergies.
7. PLA fabric is a high UV resistant fabric and good flame retardant fabric.
8. PLA fabric has a good warmth retention effect.
9. PLA fabrics have dual-wetting properties (in the specific applications of medical fabrics below, we will have specific applications).
10. PLA fabric has a good effect of repelling mites, reaching the highest anti-mite level: AA.
In our actual production process, the defects of PLA raw materials in the application of fabrics have also been revealed, the most important of which are:
1. Although PLA raw material has good spinnability, it has low heat resistance, high rigidity, and high brittleness after long-term storage.
2. In the printing and dyeing process of PLA fabrics, due to the heat-resistant properties of PLA fabrics and natural weak acidity, the fabrics are difficult to color or have low color fastness during the printing and dyeing process.
3. The melting point of the yarns that are commercially available today is relatively low at 170 ℃. This does cause limitations in some of the downstream processing technologies, but the main concern is for the consumer after-care of garments. Garment pressing and ironing temperatures have to be lower than the popular fibers of cotton and PET, and despite the appropriate care labeling instructions being used, it is a fact that consumers often disregard these.
As a sustainable fabrics supplier, in many years of production practice, PLALEAVES has continuously overcome the defects of PLA raw material properties and the production difficulties of spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and finalizing. It has completed the crystal spinning of PLA fabrics, blended yarns with different materials, and spinning of PLA fabrics. The printing and dyeing of PLA fabrics, and the development of the entire industrial process for the final garment production of PLA fabrics. The PLA textiles products that have been formed are:
PLA Yarn
PLA Clothing Fabric
PLA Non woven Fabric
PLA Melt Blown Fabric
PLA Yarn
As one of the sustainable textiles companies, currently PLALEAVES realizes industrial mass production of yarns:
100% PLA:
21s,24s,32s,40s
100% Polylactic Acid filaments:
DTY 50D, 75D, 100D, 150D
FDY 50D, 75D, 100D, 150D PLA material sustainable fabric manufacturers
PLA blended yarn:
PLA/COTTON 75%/25%,70%/%30
PLA/Tencel 75%/25%, 70%/30%

It is widely used in sportswear, underwear, home textiles, infant clothing, socks, shoe linings and disposable products such as diapers and wet wipes. It’s sustainable fashion and textiles.
The main current applications-Bio Fabric Clothes:
Thermal underwear:
PLA thermal underwear mainly utilizes the soft warm fabric properties of PLA fabrics. For thermal underwear of the same thickness, PLA fabrics will bring better thermal insulation effects than other natural fabrics. At the same time, the antibacterial and anti-mite effect of PLA fabric can effectively achieve the balance of various flora on the skin surface, which is beneficial to skin patients or skin allergies. During the actual wearing process in winter, we kept wearing for 30 days without odor (due to individual differences, PLALEAVES only did a 30-day wearing test). PLA thermal fabric for clothing can best fabric for cold weather.
Underwear:
PLA underwear is produced using polylactic acid fiber, which is natural clothing material, can effectively inhibit bacteria and prevent bacterial infection in private parts. Polylactic acid fiber makes the fabric feel good, has good drape, has natural antibacterial, anti-mite, anti-ultraviolet and other effects, has low flammability and excellent processing performance, and is environmentally friendly for the production of green and healthy underwear and other personal clothing products biomaterials.
PLALEAVE uses PLA as raw material (ie, polylactic acid fiber) to produce polylactic acid underwear, which is naturally green, environmentally friendly, antibacterial, anti-mite, and anti-ultraviolet, best breathable
fabric for underwear. Wearing polylactic acid underwear for a long time will significantly reduce gynecological diseases and male diseases. Polylactic acid underwear and other products can effectively inhibit the bacteria in the private parts, reduce the adhesion of bacteria in the underwear, reduce the chance of inflammation and infection, and protect the health of our private parts.
Baby clothes:
PLA fiber fabrics are ‘mutated’ from plants such as corn and cassava, are sustainable materials textiles. The plants extract starch through multiple processes, which are fermented into lactic acid by microorganisms, and then polymerized into polylactic acid. The monomers of traditional plastics are either toxic substances or carcinogens, while the monomeric lactic acid of PLA is a widely used food additive, which finally turns into glucose after glycolysis in the body. PLALEAVES fabrics will not add or produce any toxic and hazardous substances during the production and use process, and are unanimously recognized by the industry as the most promising new "ecological fabrics" in the new century, and have passed the relevant project tests of infant clothing fabrics.
Sportswear:
PLA sports wears are natural fabric clothes, the moisture management properties of good wicking, faster moisture spreading and drying mean that garments are comfortable. This is an important consideration for next-to-skin garments and particularly in the bio based textiles sportswear market.

PLA Melt Blown Fabric
At present, the main raw material of meltblown cloth is polypropylene (PP for short). The fiber diameter can reach 1-5 um. It is a polymer produced by the addition polymerization of propylene. It is a translucent waxy solid. The main material of mask is the raw material of melt blown cloth. At present, polypropylene meltblown non-woven fabrics are mainly made of petroleum-based and are not biodegradable. What makes everyone more worried is that under the influence of the new coronavirus epidemic, epidemic prevention materials have become necessities of people’s lives, especially disposable masks and gloves.
As the waste plastic industry is an important source of environmental pollution, it is imperative to upgrade and transform the waste plastic industry as another major source of plastic pollution.
PLA meltblown (Polylactic acid meltblown) is taken from nature, used in life, and returned to nature. It uses corn and other starch-containing biomass or straw cellulose as raw materials to ferment to produce high-gloss pure lactic acid, and prepare lactic acid into cyclic dimer lactide. , Then the ring-opening polymerization of lactide is used to produce polylactic acid. Instead of using petroleum as a raw material, as long as the plant's photosynthesis is used to form a biomass renewable resource, it is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. The waste of polylactic acid products can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water through commercial composting or microbial degradation. The carbon dioxide and water are photosynthesized by plants to form biomass and continue to become raw materials for polylactic acid fermentation. It is a world-recognized environmentally friendly material. Polylactic acid can be used to produce meltblown non-woven fabric, which has the unique advantages of natural environmental protection, degradability, non-toxicity, anti-mite, antibacterial, breathable fabric and so on.
The advent of the new coronavirus epidemic has made masks a hot commodity in the industry, and melt blown cloth is the core raw material of masks, especially during the new crown epidemic, melt PP blown cloth has grown from obscured mask raw materials to hot “cloth gold”. Helped the healthy development of polylactic acid melt blown cloth. PLALEAVES takes the bio-based material PLA as the core raw material, researches and develops and produces PLA melt blown cloth, use the most breathable fabric for mask, creates a series of products such as polylactic acid masks, creates a healthy new life for people, and creates a new round of green economy.

FAQ
FAQ
Q: What is PLA fabric?
A: PLALEAVES is one of the best wholesale sustainable fabrics suppliers and manufacturers that offers eco friendly fabric made from PLA material.
Being made from natural fibers, PLA fabric is the best sustainable fabric available today in the textile industry. PLA fabric is used to replace the traditional polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester fiber used in textile products.
PLA fabric is made of Polylactic acid (PLA), which is a 100% bio based material derived from renewable crops and is fully biodegradable and compostable. Polylactic Acid fabric has a number of advantages compared to PET polyester fiber, such as being made from natural resources, having natural skin-friendly properties, natural skin feel and breathability and so on. PLA fabric is considered as an antibacterial fabric and it has only few disadvantages that come from being low heat resistant and highly rigid. However, as a powerful sustainable fabrics suppliers, PLALEAVES always improves the quality of its products made of PLA plastic and the growing volume of our sales proves that our clients are always satisfied with our natural fabric clothes and other PLA fabric products.

Q: What is the difference between PLA and PET?
A: Let’s discuss PET and PLA separately to understand their differences:
PET
PET (poly ethylene terephthalate) is a material that is widely used by textile manufacturers to produce clothing and related fiber applications. However, use of PET has significant negative impact on the environment. One of the problems is that in order to produce these polyester textiles, significant fossil resources are required. Another disadvantage of PET is that it is not biodegradable and is not easy to recycle. The consequence is that after the usage, disposal polymers are added to the landfill and are not being able to fully deteriorate. This causes huge environmental pollution problems for the earth.
PLA
PLA fiber is a 100% bio based material. It is made from annually renewable crops and is fully biodegradable and compostable. One more advantage of PLA fiber is that its lifecycle has a potential to reduce the carbon dioxide levels of the earth.
PLA is recognized by the US Federal Trade Commission and the EU Commission and is considered as new sustainable fabrics that has a promising potential to save the environment from white pollution. This can be achieved by replacing PET polyester fiber in textile products with PLA fabrics.
