Unifi
Unifi, Inc., the innovators behind REPREVE, has introduced Fortisyn, a next-generation abrasion-resistant yarn engineered for maximum durability in high-performance, tactical applications, specifically designed to meet the demands of military, first responder uniforms, and gear.
Fortisyn™ delivers enhanced tear and tensile strength, allowing fabrics to withstand harsh environments, rough handling, and intense physical conditions while maintaining form, function, and appearance over time. The yarn is available in nylon 6,6 and REPREVE Nylon, a recycled, circular nylon made from post-industrial waste.
The yarn is also Berry Amendment compliant, ensuring its availability for made-in-USA applications and reinforcing Unifi’s commitment to both innovation and domestic manufacturing.
“Through close collaboration with mills and strategic partners, Fortisyn has been rigorously tested to validate its exceptional performance,” said Eddie Ingle, CEO of Unifi. “This launch represents a major advancement in the use of recycled, circular technology yarns in the most demanding, durable textile applications.”
