NUREL and BRILEN at Techtextil 2026: leading the future of technical and sustainable fibers
28/04/2026
The technical textiles industry has once again gathered in Frankfurt for a landmark edition of Techtextil 2026. Within this strategic framework, NUREL has strengthened its international presence through a joint exhibition with BRILEN, consolidating a global portfolio of high-value-added polymers and synthetic fibers.
Under the concept of technical collaboration, the two companies shared a single space where they showcased synergies that combine NUREL’s expertise in nylon 6 and 6.6 with BRILEN’s strength in high-tenacity polyester.
Innovation and synergy: a comprehensive solution for the B2B sector
NUREL’s presence alongside BRILEN at Techtextil reflects not only a logistical partnership but also a shared vision of technological innovation. This partnership enables us to offer manufacturers a comprehensive range of solutions: from yarns for heavy-duty industrial applications to state-of-the-art functional fibers for fashion and protective gear.
New Items in the NUREL 2026 Catalogue
NUREL used the event to present its four technological pillars, designed to transform the performance of technical textiles:
1. Technical and protective fibres (Technical Yarns)
Safety is the top priority in our Technical Yarns range. Products such as the following stood out:
NERIDE Force: high-strength nylon 6.6 for extreme environments.
NERIDE Flame retardant: a fibre with permanent flame-retardant properties (LOI ~34%).
NERIDE Shield: advanced technology for infrared signature control in tactical applications.
2. Commitment to textile sustainability
At NUREL, sustainability is a cross-cutting priority. Our sustainable fibres were the most popular topic among visitors:
RECO-NYLON®: our GRS-certified 100% recycled nylon 6 solution.
NERIDE Biobased and NERIDE Biocircular: fibres from renewable sources that reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
NERIDE Biodegradable: engineering designed to reduce the impact of microplastics.
3. Wellbeing and health with NOVAREL
NOVAREL® technology continues to revolutionise cosmotextiles. Thanks to the microencapsulation of cosmetic active ingredients within the fibre, we offer solutions designed for skincare (hydration, firming and antioxidants) that retain their properties even after repeated washing.
4. SPORTECH: performance and thermal comfort
For the sports sector, the SPORTECH range showcased innovations in moisture management and active thermoregulation, ensuring that athletes maintain an optimal body temperature in all conditions.
A successful outcome in Frankfurt
This year’s Techtextil 2026 has been a great success. Direct engagement with international partners and customers enables us to continue aligning our R&D with the market’s actual needs.
As leaders in the manufacture of synthetic fibres in Europe, at NUREL we continue to work to ensure that every polymer that leaves our plants is synonymous with quality, efficiency and respect for the environment.
