Italy-based RadiciGroup -- manufacturers of chemicals, plastics, man-made fibers and textile machinery -- has introduced several new fiber products.

Radifloor® Solid is a collection of solution-dyed nylon 6 bulk continuous filament yarns that feature good color uniformity, lightfastness and resistance, according to the company. Also, in addition to its environmentally friendly production owing to the solution-dyeing process, the yarn features a special trilobal modified cross-section that enhances stain resistance and soil removal. Designed for the contract sector, Radifloor Solid can be used for cut and loop pile construction for wall-to-wall carpeting or for carpet tiles. The yarn range is available in counts of 1000 and 1300 decitex (dtex), with more than 100 colors in 1300 dtex with 48 filaments.

RadiciGroup has added new, exclusive Radigreen® MFL PE polyethylene monofilament shapes to its Radigreen range of polyolefin and polyamide (PA) yarns used for manufacturing artificial turf for athletic fields as well as landscaping, decorative and other applications. The yarns are available in a variety of colors and types for specific applications.

The company also has added solution-dyed fibers to its range of Radilon® PA 6 staple fiber.
