Comfort Meets Functionality
Despite its robust performance, NYLEO® PROTECT does not compromise on wearability. Its inherent structure provides a noticeably softer touch, making it ideal for garments and fabrics that need to perform under pressure while ensuring user comfort.

Mechanical Excellence
With a tenacity range of 40 – 60 cN/Tex, NYLEO® PROTECT boasts impressive mechanical strength, offering reliability and resilience under stress. Whether used in fabrics, composites, or technical applications, its consistent performance stands up to the toughest conditions.

Versatile Applications Across Industries
Thanks to its unique combination of safety, durability, and comfort, NYLEO® PROTECT is suitable for a wide range of demanding end-uses, including:

  • Protech: undergarments and outer garments for firefighters, military personnel, and industrial workers
  • Mobiletech: seating and textile components for public transport and automotive interiors
  • Hometech: upholstery, curtains, and other home textiles where fire safety is a priority

A Flexible Portfolio to Meet Industry Needs
NYLEO® PROTECT is available across DOMO’s broad portfolio of flame-retardant fibre solutions, offering flexibility for diverse applications and production methods. It comes in:

  • Staple fibres: from 1 to 30 dtex, with cut lengths ranging from 38 to 155 mm
  • Crimped tow: from 2.2 to 6.7 dtex

This extensive product range allows manufacturers to integrate NYLEO® PROTECT seamlessly into their processes, ensuring safety and performance without the need for major production changes.

Safe, Certified, and Environmentally Conscious
In addition to its technical excellence, NYLEO® PROTECT is formulated without the use of antimony, halogens, or bromide, aligning with growing industry demand for safer, more sustainable flame-retardant solutions. The fibre is also OEKO-TEX® certified, guaranteeing it meets strict human-ecological requirements and is free from harmful substances—making it a responsible choice for both people and the planet.

Customer Success Story: AKATEK Enhances Flame Protection and Process Efficiency with NYLEO® PROTECT
In its mission to deliver top-tier protective textiles, AKATEK, a subsidiary of the Kivanc Group, was looking for a fibre solution that could offer both technical performance and process flexibility. By adopting DOMO’s NYLEO® PROTECT PA66 staple fibre FR, the company achieved a decisive breakthrough in the development of its heat- and flame-resistant garments.

Thanks to the fibre’s high strength, AKATEK was able to produce garments with greater durability and mechanical integrity, enhancing both product longevity and wearer safety. Unlike traditional non-FR nylon fibres, typically restricted to a 10 per cent usage rate in protective blends, NYLEO® PROTECT enabled higher incorporation rates, offering improved flame retardancy without compromising fabric stability.

Moreover, the easy dyeability of the fibre delivered increased efficiency in AKATEK’s dyeing processes, optimising production timelines and reducing operational complexity. The high abrasion resistance of NYLEO® PROTECT also translated into fabrics that withstand wear and tear, maintaining their appearance and protective properties through extended use.

In high-stakes Arc Test scenarios, the fibre demonstrated a significant reduction in flame persistence, enabling AKATEK to manufacture garments that are not only protective but also highly secure and performance-oriented. This collaboration marks a milestone in AKATEK’s innovation journey—delivering cutting-edge protective wear that meets the evolving needs of industrial safety markets.
