Hyosung TNC's Bio-based Spandex Fiber Enters Scaled Production
Sugarcane to Spandex: Hyosung TNC’s Bio-based Fiber Enters Scaled Production - WWD
Executive Overview
Hyosung TNC has moved its sugarcane-derived spandex fiber into scaled production, according to WWD. The bio-based fiber is produced from sugarcane feedstock, though specific capacity figures and commercialization timelines were not disclosed in the source.
Manufacturing & Process Note
Bio-based spandex shifts feedstock exposure from petrochemical propylene oxide to sugarcane-derived intermediates; qualification lots should be validated against existing heat-set and dyeing lines before scaling, since cure and colorfastness windows may differ from conventional spandex.
