Israel headquartered Nilit, known for producing polyamide 6.6, will be showcasing its Nilit Innergy Sport and the new Nilit ATS nylon 6.6 yarns at the upcoming Sports Gear Sourcing Days show, to be held at the Espace Rencontre in Annecy-le-Vieux, France on December 6 and 7.

Nilit Innergy Sport nylon 6.6 yarn is designed to capture body heat and reflect it back to the body as FIR (Far Infrared Rays) to gently and deeply warm and invigorate muscles. A naturally occurring mineral incorporated into the fibres converts the thermal energy and generates the FIR emissions. Tests at an independent laboratory have confirmed that Nilit Innergy Sport increases oxygen levels in the blood, reduces lactic acid build up in muscles, and relieves muscle fatigue, discomfort, and tension, the company reports.

All these lead to greater comfort and better athletic performance. In addition, Nilit Innergy Sport nylon yarn is durable, stays fresh, and protects from UV radiation making it the perfect choice for both outdoor and indoor athletic wear, according to the manufacturer.

Another innovation from Nilit is the new Air Textured Soft (ATS) special air jet texturing technology. This technology makes Nilit performance nylon yarns light, airy, and soft. They are also said to dry faster and be more durable with longer-lasting suppleness.

Nilit’s ATS technology has instilled extra softness and strength into many of Nilit’s performance yarns. Nilit Heat with natural thermal insulation, Nilit Breeze with cooling plus UV protection, Nilit Aquarius with moisture management, and Nilit Body fresh with antimicrobial protection are all softer and stronger than before.
