What is NERIDE Biobased?
NERIDE BIOBASED PA 5.10 is a fully bio‑based polyamide specifically designed as a genuine and efficient alternative to conventional fossil‑based nylon.
Unlike traditional polyamides, NERIDE Biobased is synthesised from renewable raw materials:
- Sebacic acid: derived from castor oil
- Pentamethylenediamine (PDA): obtained through the fermentation of renewable sugars
The result is a polymer with a 100% bio‑based carbon content, whose renewable origin is scientifically verified through C14 radiocarbon analysis.
Sustainable benefits
- Measurable 100% bio‑based content: renewable origin certified through radiocarbon analysis. Full transparency for brands and end consumers.
- Reduced reliance on fossil resources: petrochemical inputs are replaced with natural, renewable raw materials, ensuring a more sustainable supply chain.
- High technical performance: excellent processability and dyeability. NERIDE Biobased retains the mechanical strength and durability required in the textile sector.
- Reduced carbon footprint: by using plant‑based raw materials that capture CO₂ during growth, total life‑cycle emissions are significantly reduced.
Performance, comfort and processability
NERIDE Biobased belongs to a new generation of polyamides that balance sustainability with the demands of the premium market.
Exceptional comfort: its molecular structure provides a soft handle and superior comfort for garments worn next to the skin.
Application versatility: thanks to its excellent processability, it is ideal for a wide range of textile applications, from intimate apparel to high‑performance sportswear.
Perfect dyeability: enables vibrant, colour‑fast shades, matching the standards of traditional virgin nylon.
Applications of NERIDE Biobased
Thanks to its well‑balanced properties, NERIDE Biobased yarn is the ideal solution for:
- Activewear and sportswear: technical garments requiring strength and effective moisture management.
- Lingerie and underwear: where softness and the material’s natural origin provide a clear point of differentiation.
- Sustainable fashion: brands looking to reduce their environmental impact with certified materials.
- Technical accessories: fabrics demanding durability combined with a strong ecological profile.
