Nylstar goes for gold
16/12/2010
The company says tests carried out in a laboratory by researchers at the University of Barcelona and in the field by an unnamed customer in France show that the product offers benefits such as anti-ageing, anti-oxidant and moisturising functionality. The tests were carried out on circular knit fabric with a composition of 79% Nylgold and 21% Spandex.
Raúl González, who is in charge of marketing and international development for Nylstar, has told sportstextiles.com that there are finished product companies already preparing to include Nylgold in future collections, although he said he could not reveal any brand names yet. However, he added that activewear is going to be “one of the most important applications” for Nylgold and that there are two companies already using the yarn in activewear projects that are already in development.
