Next generation EcoDyed yarn with inherent hydrophobic properties and unique gentle texturing properties, named Meryl Acqua has been launched by Spanish company Nylstar. It gets its hydrophobic properties by combining a specially engineered polymer with a multilobal filament cross section. It has been designed to be used on the inside face of garments and should be combined with a cationic yarn on the outer face to give a dry and comfortable feel. It has been selected as the official product at the La Habana Triathlon to be held in February 2016.
Meryl Acqua will be available from November 2015 in EcoDye Black, EcoDye White, EcoDye Rouge Pink, and EcoDye Melange dope dyed colours.
