XTRA‑ACTIVE DRYING: Fast Drying and Advanced Moisture Management
Performance in humid environments demands materials that do not burden the athlete with extra weight or long drying times. NUREL SPORTECH XTRA‑ACTIVE DRYING is a nylon 6 yarn engineered at polymer level to drastically reduce its affinity for water.
By modifying the polymer matrix, we make the fibre less hydrophilic, limiting moisture absorption and significantly improving comfort in use environments where water plays a key role.
Key benefits: less water, more performance
The engineering behind XTRA‑ACTIVE DRYING translates into direct performance advantages:
Accelerated drying: lower moisture absorption translates directly into faster drying compared with conventional Nylon 6.
Reduced water retention: enables fabrics to feel significantly lighter after immersion.
Recommended applications: designed for aquatic environments
Due to its low absorption characteristics, this yarn is specifically designed for aquatic or water‑adjacent sportswear, where repeated wet‑out cycles are the norm.
It is the ideal choice for the manufacture of:
High‑performance swimwear (swimwear).
Technical apparel for surfing and stand‑up paddleboarding.
Triathlon equipment.
Sportswear for open‑water activities.
Available formats and technological synergies
XTRA‑ACTIVE DRYING adapts to the specific needs of your textile production, offering advanced integration options:
Available counts: marketed in 33/10 and 44/10 formats.
Finishes: available in both flat and texturised yarn formats.
Enhance the effect: for even more extreme moisture transport, this material is available in combination with the XTRA‑DRY cross‑section from our XTRA‑COMFORT range.
Technical note: all technologies within the XTRA‑ACTIVE family can be combined with standard cross‑sections or with the geometries of the XTRA‑COMFORT family to multiply their functionalities.
