Cupro Fabric – Pros and Cons
Like all fabrics, Cupro has its advantages and disadvantages. However, due to its numerous benefits, many consider this fabric to be a “good” choice.
Advantages
- Organic and Eco-Friendly: Cupro fibers are derived from plant materials. Unlike silk (which comes from silkworms), this fabric is a cruelty-free, vegan alternative.
- High Quality: This fabric boasts a luxurious feel while remaining durable and resilient.
- Easy to Dye: Achieving vibrant colors with Cupro requires less dye. The fabric absorbs dye exceptionally well, meaning you also use less water during the dyeing process.
Disadvantages
- Relatively Unknown: Compared to other rayon fabrics, Cupro is not as widely recognized. It is relatively new to the market, so many people may not be aware of its existence.
- Prone to Wrinkling: This fabric is not the best choice for travel as it wrinkles easily. Additionally, it cannot be ironed at high temperatures due to its flammability.
Cupro Fabric Production Process
Since Cupro is recyclable, manufacturers must process the fabric to make it suitable for reuse. The following outlines how Cupro is produced, known as the Cupro Method.
Raw Material Collection
The production of Cupro begins with the collection of recycled cotton linter. These are the short fibers left over from cotton production, which form the base material for Cupro fabric.
Exposure to Solution
Due to their short length, the cotton linter fibers are immersed in a chemical solution. The fibers are treated with copper and ammonia. This mixture is then combined with sodium hydroxide, creating a new substance.
Fiber Transformation
The resulting substance is processed through a spinneret, which washes out the copper, ammonia, and sodium hydroxide, neutralizing the fibers. The fibers are then cooled to form longer filaments.
Spinning, Weaving, and Finishing
The long filaments are spun into Cupro yarn, which can then be woven into Cupro fabric. The final fabric undergoes washing and dyeing treatments to achieve the desired appearance and texture.
