Tactel

description Tactel Overview

Tactel is a trademark used for certain nylon fibers originally developed by DuPont and subsequently associated with Invista. Fabrics made with Tactel fibers are generally designed to be lightweight, soft to the touch, durable, and quick drying, although their precise properties depend on yarn construction and fabric treatment. The material has been used in activewear, swimwear, hosiery, lingerie, and other garments requiring a smooth synthetic textile.
