Kurare Trading Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; President: Takeshi Yamada) has developed a moisture-regulating composite fiber called "Nymphas," which possesses excellent moisture absorption and release, contact cooling sensation, quick-drying properties, and dimensional stability. By combining polyester and nylon using our unique core-sheath special cross-sectional structure, we have achieved a comfortable wearing experience and high functionality. This also contributes to reducing stuffiness and discomfort in hot environments, and we will expand its applications to a wide range of uses, including sportswear, outdoor wear, and lifestyle apparel.

Kurare Trading Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, President: Takeshi Yamada) will launch a monitoring material for visualizing the occurrence of spider mites, which are agricultural pests difficult to confirm visually, called "Purl Trap" -9 on May 12, 2025. Designed based on the behavioral characteristics of spider mites, it can be installed in fields or potted plants to capture spider mites with adhesive, allowing for visual confirmation of their occurrence. Since it does not use chemicals, it does not promote chemical resistance in spider mites.
