NILIT introduces Sensil® WaterCare as part of its comprehensive Planet Promise textile sustainability commitment. NILIT is a global leader in sustainable premium Nylon. Sensil® WaterCare is pre-dyed so fabric and apparel makers can save 100% of the water, energy, and chemicals involved in the traditional coloration process. Plus, Sensil® WaterCare significantly reduces processing time, water treatment costs, and the risk of pollution to rivers, lakes, and oceans.
The traditional textile dyeing wet process is a water-intensive operation that often relies on century-old technology that guzzles water and energy. Nevertheless, approximately 20% of global industrial water pollution can be attributed to textile dyeing and treatment. New Sensil® WaterCare offers water-conscious brands, retailers, and consumers a more sustainable choice to conserve precious resources and reduce water pollution, all while enjoying apparel that is as richly beautiful as it is responsible.
New Sensil® WaterCare is spun-dyed, environmentally responsible pigments such as charcoal and coffee bean shells, among others, offer sustainable coloration that reflects the natural world. Color is embedded in the yarn as it is produced, resulting in exquisite, uniform color depth and luster that will not wash out, even at high temperatures. Garments resist fading, so they last longer, and dyes do not wash out in the laundry.
Chief Technologies and Innovation Officer, NITIL, Bernardo Staiano, said, “Sensil® WaterCare can shorten the product development cycle, improve productivity, and reduce the burden of sampling and returns. These are tangible efficiency gains for the textile industry and also substantial benefits for the planet and people. From the perspective of NILIT’s Total Product Sustainability approach, Sensil® WaterCare can make a significant impact when its many advantages are considered.”
