Transfar Chemicals has announced a major breakthrough in nylon textile finishing with the development of its proprietary Polyamide Segment Anchoring technology, addressing long-standing industry challenges related to durability, adsorption, and fabric hand feel.
Nylon fabrics are widely used in sportswear, outdoor apparel, and functional textiles, yet manufacturers have struggled for decades with poor bonding between nylon fibers and functional chemical finishes. Traditional treatments often suffer from rapid performance loss after washing, uneven adsorption, and stiffness.
According to Transfar Chemicals, its new technology fundamentally changes how functional molecules interact with nylon fibers. Developed by the company’s R&D team led by Xu Huizhi, Polyamide Segment Anchoring enables functional molecules to chemically bind within the nylon fiber structure, rather than remaining on the surface.
“We’ve spent a decade exploring the polyamide chemistry system and finally found the key,” said Xu Huizhi. “Our goal is to lead high-value, sustainable development in textile chemicals together with our partners.”
Fabrics treated with Polyamide Segment Anchoring maintain excellent moisture-management performance even after 20 standard wash cycles, equivalent to six months to one year of daily wear. Independent validation by leading nylon fabric brands in South China and Fujian confirms that core performance remains above 90% after repeated laundering.

This level of durability marks a significant advancement for quick-dry nylon fabrics, particularly in high-intensity sportswear and performance apparel applications.
The innovation has already delivered strong commercial results. Transfar Chemicals reports that the technology contributed to over 20% growth in its quick-dry agent business in 2025, underscoring rising market demand for durable, high-performance nylon finishes.
Beyond moisture management, Polyamide Segment Anchoring serves as a scalable chemical platform for Durable UV protection, Anti-yellowing finishes, Water-repellent treatments
By improving longevity and reducing the need for re-treatment, the technology also supports the industry’s shift toward more sustainable textile processing.
With nylon continuing to dominate functional apparel markets, Transfar Chemicals’ breakthrough positions the company at the forefront of next-generation, high-value textile chemical solutions.
