Nilit will have cooling yarn on show in Shanghai
12/10/2012
The company describes Breeze as “a revolutionary nylon 6.6 fibre that has been proven to cool wearers by almost one degree Celsius in comparison to fabrics knitted with standard fibres”. It says sports apparel, hosiery, workwear and shapewear are all good application areas for fabrics made from the yarn.
Its cooling effect comes from a special cross-section, the insertion of an inorganic additive in the polymer itself and a special texturing process. This combination gives fabrics a high level of ventilation capability as well as ultraviolet protective properties for the life of the garment.
