“Sensil® WaterCare can shorten the product development cycle, improve productivity, and reduce the burden of sampling and returns. These are tangible efficiency gains for the textile industry and also substantial benefits for the planet and people.”

NILIT, a global leader in sustainable premium Nylon, introduces Sensil® WaterCare as part of the company’s comprehensive Planet Promise textile sustainability commitment. Sensil® WaterCare is pre-dyed so fabric and apparel makers can save 100% of the water, energy, and chemicals involved in the traditional coloration process. Plus, Sensil® WaterCare significantly reduces processing time, water treatment costs, and the risk of pollution to rivers, lakes, and oceans. 

“Water is the foundation of life and protecting it is a corporate mandate we take very seriously at NILIT,” says Ilan Melamed, NILIT General Manager. “Our R&D efforts are focused on developing new Sensil® products like WaterCare that support the industry’s sustainability goals and respond to growing consumer demands for textiles and apparel that are more responsibly made.” 

New Sensil® WaterCare is spun-dyed. Environmentally responsible pigments such as charcoal and coffee bean shells, among others, offer sustainable coloration that reflects the natural world. Color is embedded in the yarn as it is produced resulting in exquisite, uniform color depth and luster that won’t wash out, even at high temperatures. Garments resist fading so they last longer and dyes do not wash out in the laundry.
