North Carolina-based Unifi has launched a new abrasion-resistant yarn designed for ultimate durability in tactical applications.
Called ‘Fortisyn,’ this yarn gives fabrics enhanced tear and tensile strength, providing a tough solution for military and first responder uniforms and tactical gear. Made in the US, Fortisyn meets the needs of Berry Amendment compliance.
Fabrics made with Fortisyn can handle exposure to harsh conditions and rough use while aksi retaining their shape, function, and look over time. The yarn is available in nylon 6.6 and Repreve nylon, a recycled type 6 circular nylon made from post-industrial yarn waste.
Solution-dyed for better color retention and made with Repreve nylon, Fortisyn is fully traceable with FiberPrint technology and certified by U-Trust, along with Oeko-Tex, GRS, and SCS certifications for its recycled content.
Working with mills and strategic partners, Fortisyn has undergone tough fabric testing to prove its outstanding performance, says Eddie Ingle, CEO, Unifi. Its launch expands the use of recycled, circular technology yarns into the most demanding applications, he adds.
