CornLeaf is a “GREEN” product.
Thanks to Noyfil’s solution dyeing technology during the spinning process, the production of CornLeaf require lower water and Energy consumption compared to traditional dyeing and finishing treatments.

CornLeaf is a biopolymer combining the advantages of natural and synthetic fibres.

• Natural: Polymer made from corn.
• Biodegradable: 100% compostable.
• Lightweight: Specific weight less than for natural fibres.
• Tenacity: Comparable to synthetic yarns.
• Comfort: More hygroscopic than synthetic fibres and faster drying than natural fibres.
• Wearability: Elastic recovery greater than 90% after 5% extension.
• UV Resistance: Excellent; UV radiation is dissipated.
• Safety: Low flammability (LOI > 26%); does not emit toxic fumes.
• Bacteriostatic effect: released silver ions exert their antimicrobial action.
