Castor Bean Polyamide

A type of nylon derived from castor oil, extracted from castor beans. It serves as an eco-friendlier alternative to petroleum-based nylons.

Use Cases: Castor bean polyamides are utilized in textiles, especially in the fashion and sports apparel niches due to its elasticity.

Good to Know: Although this fabric is derived from a renewable resource (castor beans), it is not completely biodegradable and still may contain plastic polymers similar to traditional nylon.
