High-Performance Nylon Yarns for Activewear
Maximise Athletic Performance with NUREL SPORTECH
NUREL SPORTECH: Fiber Engineering for High-Performance Sports
In modern sports, textiles are a performance tool. NUREL SPORTECH offers an advanced range of polyamide yarns engineered to optimise the athlete’s microclimate.
Thanks to our ability to modify both the physical and chemical structure of the fibre, we provide solutions that go beyond conventional textiles, ensuring comfort, lightness and exceptional durability.
Our Sportswear Technologies
To make technical selection easier, we divide our sportswear range into two fundamental pillars:
1. Polymer-Based Management: XTRA-ACTIVE Range
Functionalities integrated directly into the nylon matrix for permanent benefits:
Cool-touch comfort designed
for a cooler feel while you’re on the move
Quick-drying comfort
after contact with water
Far infrared technology designed
to support performance and recovery
Hydrating mineral technology
for comfortable, energy-filled workouts
Built-in odour control
for lasting freshness and comfort
2. Geometry-Based Management: XTRA-COMFORT Range
Yarns engineered with modified cross-sections to mechanically control air flow and moisture management:
Engineered cross-section
for enhanced moisture absorption and quick drying
Special hollow geometry designed to
balance moisture management and thermoregulation
Hollow cross-section for
thermoregulation and lightweight properties
*Use the XTRA-COMFORT range on its own or combine it with the XTRA-ACTIVE range for enhanced performance.
NUREL SPORTECH: COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE
Two technologies, each powerful on its own. Together, they are unstoppable.
Synergies: The “Made-to-Measure” Yarn
What makes NUREL SPORTECH unique is the ability to combine technologies.
We can produce a yarn with the geometry of XTRA-DRY (mechanical moisture management) using the XTRA-ACTIVE FRESH polymer (odour-control technology).
The result is a high-performance multifunctional textile engineered specifically to meet your technical requirements.
NUREL SPORTECH: EUROPEAN NYLON YARNS FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPORTS
Advanced manufacturing for high-quality, high-performance textile applications
Since 1968, NUREL has specialized in the production of high-quality nylon yarns, combining polymer science with integrated manufacturing to ensure consistent, high-performance fibers.
At our three state-of-the-art spinning facilities, we develop a wide range of yarns specifically engineered for lingerie, swimwear and sportswear.
Our draw warping and texturing capabilities enable precise yarn engineering, exceptional consistency and full process traceability.
We advance fiber technologies by integrating the latest innovations in special cross-sections and high-performance additives for functional textiles.
Within our SPORTECH range, we offer two complementary technology platforms:
- XTRA-COMFORT (engineered cross-sections for thermoregulation and comfort).
- XTRA-ACTIVE (functional additives embedded in polymers, including cooling, quick-drying, FIR, antibacterial and hydrating technologies).
Some SPORTECH solutions are also available in recycled versions.
We collaborate with the sports textile industry to develop advanced nylon yarns that meet today’s performance demands and tomorrow’s expectations.
