Yarn partners combine to make “revolutionary” product for sportswear
17/05/2011
Designed to make strong, durable and lightweight fabrics for activewear, dancewear, socks and sportswear, the companies say Trinomax AQ can help athletes reach peak performance.
Trinomax AQ is made from three components: natural merino wool, textured Nilit nylon 6.6 and Nilit Aquarius. Twisted together, using a technology proprietary to LincSpun, the combination of fibres gives Trinomax AQ a range of extra functionalities. The Nilit nylon 6.6 textured filament provides consistent quality and durability. Nilit Aquarius is engineered with a special additive inside the polymer and a triple-T cross section of the filaments (which increases surface area) for high-speed wicking that is intrinsic to the fibre and will not wear off even after repeated washing. Merino wool is often found in premium athletic clothing for its softness and because of its ability to regulate body temperature. Together, the fibres also provide a high level of moisture management.
On announcing the new product, LincSpun director Jean-Michel Libeau commented: “We chose to make Trinomax AQ out of Nilit nylon 6.6 yarns because of their high quality. With its natural softness and technologically advanced moisture management properties, we are confident Trinomax AQ will greatly enhance our offering of advanced yarns for sportswear, activewear and socks.”
Alon Weiser, research and development and technical service manager at Nilit, said: “LincSpun’s unique technology enables the engineering of exceptional yarns, like Trinomax AQ, which offer the attributes consumers are looking for in clothing: comfort, durability, light weight and softness. The brilliant combination of Merino wool with Nilit Aquarius yarn creates the ultimate fabrics for athletes.”
