UNIFI® launches FORTISYN™, an inherently durable yarn for military and tactical gear
Fabrics containing Fortisyn can withstand exposure to harsh elements and rough handling while maintaining their form, function, and appearance over time. Fortisyn is available in nylon 6,6 and REPREVE® Nylon, a recycled type 6, circular nylon made from post-industrial yarn waste.
“In collaboration with mills and strategic partners, Fortisyn has undergone rigorous fabric testing to validate its exceptional performance. The launch marks a step forward in the scaling of recycled, circular technology yarns into the most durable applications,” said Eddie Ingle, CEO of UNIFI.
