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, bio-based NERIDE 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, the renewable origin of which has been scientifically verified through C14 radiocarbon analysis.
Sustainability benefits
100% measurable bio-based content: certification of renewable origin verified through radiocarbon analysis. Complete transparency for brands and end consumers.
Reduced reliance on fossil fuels: we are replacing petrochemical-based inputs with natural and renewable raw materials, ensuring a more sustainable supply chain.
High technical performance: excellent processability and dyeability. NERIDE biobased maintains the mechanical properties of strength and durability required in the textile industry.
Reducing the carbon footprint: by using plant-based raw materials that capture CO₂ as they grow, we significantly reduce the product’s total life-cycle emissions.
Performance, comfort and workability
NERIDE biobased is part of a new generation of polyamides that strike a balance between sustainability and the demands of the premium market.
Exceptional comfort: its molecular structure ensures a soft feel and superior comfort for garments worn next to the skin.
Versatility of use: thanks to its excellent workability, it is ideal for a wide range of textile applications, from lingerie to high-performance sportswear.
Perfect dyeing: produces vibrant, solid colours that match the standards of traditional virgin nylon.
Applications of bio-based NERIDE
Thanks to its balanced properties, NERIDE biobased yarn is the ideal solution for:
Activewear and sportswear: technical garments that require durability and moisture management.
Lingerie and underwear: where the softness and natural origin of the fabric are what set them apart.
Sustainable fashion: brands seeking to reduce their environmental impact through the use of certified materials.
Technical accessories: fabrics that require durability and are environmentally friendly.
NUREL’s Commitment to the Future
When you choose NERIDE biobased, you’re not just choosing a high-quality fibre; you’re choosing a technology that respects the planet’s limits.
This development forms part of our range of sustainable fibre products, alongside our recycled and biodegradable solutions, to provide textile manufacturers with all the tools they need to achieve climate neutrality.
