Fulgar, an Italian leader in the manufacture of nylon and coated yarns, has launched its latest sustainable innovation – Q-NOVA MELANGE RECYCLED, a special fibre created by blending Q-NOVA, a 6.6 nylon fibre created using regenerated raw materials, with a polyester produced entirely from reused plastic bottles.

With this new sustainable development, the company aims to further reinstate its eco values and a leading position in implementing cutting edge product solutions with a low environmental impact. The company puts an emphasis on the value of recycling materials, as well as a green lifestyle and zero emissions, which are some of the most important contemporary issues for fibre producers and final consumers, the manufacturer reports.

Q-NOVA MELANGE RECYCLED

Aiming to combine functionality and aesthetic appeal without compromising the performance and quality of the fabric, Q-NOVA MELANGE RECYCLED yarns are said to provide outstanding colour resistance for colours with long-lasting brilliance, the company reports.

The new yarn range is also designed to provide great comfort and easy-care performance, offering qualities like total stretch, softness, lightweight, quick drying, breathability, resistance to peeling and non-iron fabric care, according to the manufacturer.

Fulgar's typical Jaspé and Pulsar effects adapt perfectly to new textile technologies, presenting the opportunity to develop multicolour fabrics through a single controlled, continuous one-step process in the dyeing stage. Both effects enable the creation of yarns with different looks. With Jespé, the line is short and regular, while with Pulsar the melange feature is longer, with a more pronounced shot effect. The two types of yarn create bi-colour effects on a perfectly uniform neutral base.
