Developed for applications in the technical textiles sector, Raditeck® Fine and Raditeck® Dyna polyamide 66 yarns ensure excellent fabric performance – improved tear and abrasion resistance with superior light stability – even in critical applications. These products are ideal for the manufacture of sails, parachutes, hot-air balloons, as well as sportswear, workwear, footwear, backpacks and suitcases.

RadiciGroup has added new fine and medium counts to its product portfolio of high-tenacity PA66 yarns, which already includes traditional counts: 33/10 dtex, 55/13 dtex and 78/34 dtex FLAT yarn and 580/140 dtex and 1100/280 dtex TASLAN yarn. "The market response to these new products has been really positive," said Filippo Bona of Radici Yarn R&D. “The development and marketing of the Raditeck® Fine versions began about two years ago. We started off by proposing a range of fine counts, such as 33/10 dtex, for applications in the sportswear segment and then, quite recently actually, introduced new high-tenacity 180/68 dtex and 360/136 dtex TASLAN yarn for applications in the technical, sportswear and workwear sectors. These yarns were designed to guarantee resistance, total reliability, safety and quality – to meet market demand for materials providing better performance."

"RadiciGroup's competence and experience, as well as the vertical integration of its nylon production chain, has played a fundamental role in the development of these products," Mr. Bona continued. "Inside our Group, we have the needed raw material, polyamide 66, which comes from out chemical production plant in Novara, Italy, and the necessary yarn processing technology. Also of central importance has been our close collaboration with customers. In effect, our customers are the starting point of every innovation at RadiciGroup."
