Nilit, an Israel-based nylon 6.6 manufacturer, has introduced Sensil BioCare, a new fiber that is described as breaking down faster than conventional nylon.

In addition, the technology will not wash out or interfere with dyes, performance additives or finishes, Nilit says, allowing for long-lasting but also soft fabrics.
