What is Nylon2

What is Nylon?

Fabric Type Synthetic Polymer
Key Benefits Exceptional Durability, Soft Handfeel, Excellent Stretch & Recovery, Good Moisture-Wicking
Feel Silky, Smooth, Cool to the touch, often described as "buttery-soft"
Am besten für Gamaschen, Strumpfhosen, Sport-BHs, Seamless Wear, Bademode, Lightweight Jackets
Sustainability Virgin Nylon is petroleum-based; Recycled options (GRS-certified) are a key sustainable alternative.
Chemically known as polyamide, Nylon was first commercialized as a durable alternative to silk. Its unique combination of strength, softness, and elasticity quickly made it a favorite in the textile industry. Today, it stands as a premium material in the world of performance activewear, forming the backbone of high-quality garments that need to withstand intense use while providing maximum comfort.

Core Properties for Activewear

Dauerhaft & Chlorine-Resistant

Exceptional Durability & Resilience

Nylon fibers are incredibly strong and resistant to abrasion, friction, and pilling. This means activewear made from nylon endures countless workouts and washes, maintaining its integrity and appearance far longer than other materials.

Performance for All Bodies

Superior Stretch & Shape Recovery

When blended with spandex, nylon offers fantastic stretch that moves with the body without restriction. Crucially it possesses excellent recovery, "snaps back" to its original shape, preventing garments from sagging or becoming misshapen over time.

Second-Skin Comfort

Signature Silky Handfeel

One of nylon's most beloved traits is its exceptionally smooth, soft feel against the skin. This reduces chafing and provides a luxurious, comfortable experience, making it ideal for next-to-skin apparel like leggings and sports bras.

Effective Moisture-Wicking

Nylon effectively wicks moisture by pulling sweat away from the skin and moving it to the fabric's outer surface, where it can evaporate. This process helps keep the wearer dry, cool, and comfortable during exercise.

Common Applications in Sportswear

Our Commitment to Nylon Quality & Consistency

A superior final garment begins with flawless raw materials. Every roll of fabric we source from our certified mill partners undergoes a rigorous incoming quality control (IQC) process at our facility before it is cleared for production. Our inspection includes checks for Color Consistency, Fabric Weight & Thickness, Defect Detection and Performance Testing. This meticulous attention to fabric quality is the first step in our comprehensive quality assurance system.

Color Consistency

Verifying shade accuracy against standards using spectrophotometry.

Fabric Weight & Thickness

Ensuring uniformity in GSM (grams per square meter).

Defect Detection

Scanning for any tears, stains, or weaving imperfections.

Performance Testing

Conducting sample tests for stretch, recovery, and durability.

Organic Cotton Recycling Cloth Zero Waste Materials

The Environmental Impact & The Rise of Recycled Nylon

While virgin nylon is derived from non-renewable petroleum resources, the solution is Recycled Nylon. This innovative material is created by regenerating nylon waste, such as discarded fishing nets and fabric scraps. This process significantly reduces water usage, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. Sansansun is proud to offer GRS-certified recycled nylon fabrics, allowing your brand to create high-performance products with a much smaller environmental footprint.

Garment Care

Washing

Garment Care

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Using cold water helps protect the fabric's elasticity and vibrant color.

Drying

Drying

Tumble dry on low heat. For best results, hang dry, as this is the gentlest method and will extend the life of your garment.

Avoid

Avoid

Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its moisture-wicking capabilities. Do not iron or dry clean.
