Fortisyn is a new abrasion-resistant yarn engineered for ultimate durability in tactical applications by Greensboro, North Carolina-headquartered Unifi.

The yarn provides fabrics with enhanced tear and tensile strength, offering a robust solution for military and first responder uniforms and tactical gear. Made in the USA Fortisyn is available to specifically meet Berry Amendment compliant applications.

Fabrics containing Fortisyn can withstand exposure to harsh elements and rough handling while maintaining their form, function and appearance over time. Fortisyn is available in nylon 6.6 and Repreve nylon, a recycled type 6 circular nylon made from post-industrial yarn waste.

The yarn is solution-dyed for enhanced colorfastness and Fortisyn made with Repreve nylon, is fully traceable with FiberPrint technology and certified by U-Trust, along with Oeko-Tex, GRS, and SCS certifications for recycled content.

“In collaboration with mills and strategic partners, Fortisyn has undergone rigorous fabric testing to validate its exceptional performance,” said Eddie Ingle, Unifi CEO. “This launch marks a step forward in the scaling of recycled, circular technology yarns into the most durable applications.”
