Nilit to showcase new coffee-enhanced nylon fibre at ISPO
15/01/2014
Nilit Heat nylon 6.6 yarn is designed to conserve and maintain natural body heat, to keep wearers warmer and to protect them from low outside temperatures, Nilit said in the build-up to the show. The Israeli company has used coffee charcoal in the production process for its thermo-insulation, anti-bacterial and anti-odour properties.
It explained that it had taken the charcoal from residues from coffee bean production and integrated it into the nylon fibre.
Technical service manager, Alon Weiser, commented: “The complex structure of the coffee charcoal additive in this incredible yarn effectively captures body heat and keeps it in the garment, to keep wearers warm in any weather.”
