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.
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.
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.
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.
The perfect blend of durability for high-friction areas and stretch for squats and yoga poses.
Provides the necessary support and a soft, comfortable feel against the skin.
Its smooth, strong fibers are ideal for the intricate knitting process of seamless manufacturing.
The high strength-to-weight ratio allows for protective outerwear that is both strong and light.
Verifying shade accuracy against standards using spectrophotometry.
Ensuring uniformity in GSM (grams per square meter).
Scanning for any tears, stains, or weaving imperfections.
Conducting sample tests for stretch, recovery, and durability.
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.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Using cold water helps protect the fabric's elasticity and vibrant color.
Tumble dry on low heat. For best results, hang dry, as this is the gentlest method and will extend the life of your garment.
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.
