New SENSIL^® WaterCare Conserves
Water and Reduces Pollution

Sensil’s responsible Nylon fibers and fabrics
help improve textile industry sustainability

Migdal Haemek, Israel—December 8, 2020. The traditional textile dyeing wet process is a water-intensive operation that often relies on century-old technology that guzzles water and energy. Not only that but approximately 20% of global industrial water pollution can be attributed to textile dyeing and treatment. New Sensil^® WaterCare offers water-conscious brands, retailers, and consumers a more sustainable choice to conserve precious resources and reduce water pollution, all while enjoying apparel that is as richly beautiful as it is responsible.

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.

“From the perspective of NILIT’s Total Product Sustainability approach, Sensil^® WaterCare can make a significant impact when its many advantages are considered,” Says Bernardo Staiano, NILIT CTO . “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.”

Sensil’s family of premium Nylon products addresses resource conservation, pollution elimination, biodegradability, and recycled inputs to help advance textile industry sustainability. NILIT collaborates with key partners to improve sustainability throughout the global value chain and educate consumers about responsible choices.
