Fulgar presents 99% recycled microfibre
05/02/2013
It has been named a gold award winner in the product category at the ISPO Munich trade fair.
Q-NOVA is a nylon 6.6 microfibre which is sustainably produced, with an emphasis on reduced CO2 emission and water consumption and uses renewable energies.
The raw materials come from production waste (pre-consumer) and are recycled in an MCS (melting continuous spinning) process developed by Fulgar.
Dr Junyan Hu, from the Institute of Textile and Clothing in Hong Kong and one of the judges of the awards, said: "Great moisture absorption capacity, super low weight compared to other fibres, exceptional comfort, silky touch, easy-dye and easy-care properties – and all this with a 99% recycled nylon: incredible and a true winner."
The Italian company recently tied up with Rhodia, producers of Emana, to become its distributor in Europe.
Emana is a polyamide 66 yarn with bioactive mineral crystals in its polymer matrix. According to the manufacturers, it aids blood circulation and cellular metabolism, improves the elasticity and smoothness of the skin, reduces signs of cellulite and prevents muscle fatigue.
