Polyamide

Polyamide basically consists of carbon atoms and is obtained from petroleum. As a plastic, it does not occur as a fiber, but is produced by means of complicated, chemical processes. Originally, polyamide was known as "nylon," but now there are other subcategories of polyamides, such as Perlon and Dederon.

Similar to polyester, polyamide hardly absorbs moisture, is breathable and is therefore preferred for sportswear. In addition, it is more elastic and shape-retaining than polyester.

Care: Clothing made of polyamide is comparatively easy to care for. They can be washed in the washing machine at between 30 and 60°C - follow the washing instructions! - and should be hung up dripping wet. Polyamide dries quickly and usually does not need ironing.
