| N | Naia™ - Developed by Eastman, Naia™ Cellulosic yarn is a highly versatile yarn that combines sustainability and performance with a natural touch. Its inherent qualities of lightness, silkiness and soft hand combined with its hypoallergenic nature make it ideally suited for intimate apparel and other next-to-skin applications. Made from wood pulp that is derived exclusively from sustainably managed and certified forests, Naia™ has been awarded Oeko-Tex product class I certification. Eastman Naia™ fiber is the perfect choice for fabrics in womenswear.

| Nanofeel® Antimicrobial - Developed by Radici and exclusively distributed in North America by ICF Mercantile, LLC, this bacteriostatic polyester yarn was developed using nanotechnology. The fiber is impregnated with silver ions, rather than being deposited on the surface as in traditional bacteriostatic yarns. Combining nanoparticle technology with solution dyeing results in this robust final product that outperforms yarns manufactured using traditional topical finishing techniques. Nanofeel® is marketed towards sportswear, technical wear, intimate apparel, hosiery, swimwear, and home furnishings. | |
| NanoGLIDE™ - Developed by Next Fiber Technology, NanoGLIDE is a Permanent PTFE Patented Technology for performance apparel and socks that will not wash or wear out, and will retain all other features such as stretch. The fiber’s natural color is white with denier ranges from 60-1200. NanoGLIDE is raising the bar by taking moisture management, skin protection, abrasion, and comfort into high energy levels of: 1) extreme moisture wicking, 2) enhanced durability, 3) ultra-fast drying, 4) reduced friction and 5) extreme abrasion resistance. NanoGLIDE's extreme performance and comfort is gentle on the skin, yet achieve maximum protection. The NanoGLIDE Technology can be used on both knit and woven fabrics. | |
| Nega Stat® - Developed by William Barnet & Son, LLC, Nega-Stat® P190 is a unique bi-component core conducting yarn designed for product and end-uses where full grounding is essential and for use in areas where it is not possible to ensure full grounding. Nega-Stat® P190 is used in selected products and specific industrial situations where grounding is either not required or not possible. | |
NEOLAST™
- Developed by Celanese Corporation, NEOLAST™ is made from
thermoplastic elasotester polymers that enable the creation of
more sustainable power-stretch performance fabrics. Through a
proprietary melt-extrusion spinning process, NEOLAST™'s
solvent-free manufacturing addresses the challenge of recycling
blended fabrics by eliminating potentially hazardous chemicals
typically used in spandex production This helps to create longer-
lasting, more durable recycled apparel. Additional NEOLAST™
qualities include: improved moisture-management/dry times;
improved fabric integrity (i.e. less likely to unravel, pill, degrade, or
yellow over time); and improved fiber dyeing in a full-color
spectrum.
