TACTEL® fiber

Softer, finer, better. Bliss.

TACTEL® fiber is our softest, silkiest nylon offering, delivering an effortless combination of durability and fineness.   

With lightweight TACTEL® fiber, intimates, underwear, activewear, shapewear, and swimwear are soft, supple, and dry eight times faster than cotton.

The new nylon has arrived: TACTEL® EcoMade fiber 

Made with 50% pre-consumer waste, TACTEL® EcoMade fiber is a more sustainable alternative to virgin nylon-6 — and still delivers equal performance. Our most eco-friendly nylon offering, TACTEL® EcoMade fiber is Global Recycled Standard certified and makes use of pre-consumer waste that would otherwise be thrown away. Count on TACTEL® EcoMade fiber for the same durability, softness, and silky feel you expect from the classic TACTEL® fiber we’ve been making for decades — with a lighter touch on the planet.
