As the most common sporting goods, sportswear presents a functional and fashionable consumption trend. According to the "2023 618 Social Media Trend Report" released by Magic Mirror, there are two major trends in outdoor sportswear. One is the specialization of function selection. The demand for wear-resistant, breathable and windproof has increased, and more professional material technology is favored; The second is the fashion of outdoor sports consumption. The colors of clothing are obviously diversified, and products in bright colors such as pink, purple, green, and blue are selling well. In addition, consumers are more concerned about the overall comfort and material experience of clothing. It can be seen from the trendy sportswear such as "dopamine" outfits and yoga clothes that have exploded this summer.
The expansion of the sportswear market has driven the rapid growth of upstream materials and technological innovation. According to the Financial Associated Press, since April and May this year, the production and sales of nylon have increased by about 10%-15% compared with the first quarter. Among them, the performance of high-quality nylon materials is particularly prominent, and has become a popular material in the sportswear market. The consumption boom of trendy sportswear has put forward higher requirements for fabric materials, which has given birth to the innovation of high-quality nylon. The high-speed spinning grade PA6 chips independently developed and produced by Sinolong stand out from the market by virtue of technological innovation and quality stability. They are widely used in the field of sportswear and have become one of the main suppliers of high-quality nylon raw materials.
Taking the SF2402 (2.45 viscosity) product as an example, in order to meet the diversified needs of sportswear such as yoga clothes, swimwear, and jackets in terms of high wear resistance, high resilience, lightweight, and fashionable colors, the R&D team of Sinolong aggregated Technological innovation endows materials with three high qualities:
High performance
It has the characteristics of stable viscosity, stable molecular weight distribution, good strength, and excellent mechanical properties. It endows nylon fabrics with high wear resistance, high resilience, stretch resistance, bending resistance, and damage resistance. The fabric feels fine and smooth, Strong wear resistance, good air permeability.
High color value
It has excellent properties such as low moisture content, low extractable content, and high amino terminal content. The nylon fabric produced from this has outstanding dyeing performance and long-lasting bright colors, which can meet the needs of various "fashionable" sportswear for fashionable colors.

It has the characteristics of not easy to penetrate, not easy to pollute, and easy to clean. It can be easily cleaned with ordinary cleaning products. Sweat stains, dust, bacteria, etc. during exercise will no longer become a problem for consumers.
In addition, SF2402 products are produced in strict accordance with international standards and comply with ROHS, FDA, REACH and other international food, drug, chemical standards and regulatory requirements. It has become the best choice for many domestic and foreign sportswear brands to purchase nylon raw materials.
With the rise of the trend of sports consumption boom, traditional clothing materials ushered in a new round of iteration and upgrading, and the fashion sense, science and technology sense, and experience sense of fabrics have become the key factors affecting consumers' purchase decisions, and are also the main direction of product innovation of major sportswear brands. In the future, Sinolong will continue to focus on high-quality nylon material innovation, use more material technology products to empower fashion sportswear, so that more and more people enjoy a more extreme and comfortable material technology experience.
