Welcome to Nicelle Technologies Inc

Building the Future of Performance Fibers

At Nicelle, we’re developing AcrylFLOW—a sustainable, U.S.-licensed process to produce acrylic fiber with no toxic additives and lower carbon emissions.

Our pilot phase is now under way. We are validating this technology with manufacturers, fiber innovators, and carbon fiber developers.

If you're seeking cleaner alternatives in textiles, composites, or defense, let's connect.

Our Technology

AcrylFLOW: A cleaner way to produce high-performance acrylic fiber.

AcrylFLOW is a patent-pending, U.S.-licensed process for producing acrylic fiber using melt-spinning instead of traditional wet-spinning.

We convert PAN resin into high-performance acrylic fibers with:

  • No halogens or antimony
     
  • Up to 50% lower carbon footprint
     
  • Improved cost-efficiency for carbon fiber precursors
     

This process enables:

  • Safer working environments (no toxic byproducts)
     
  • U.S.-based manufacturing that supports Berry Amendment compliance
     
  • Scalable, dual-use applications across defense and commercial markets


Currently in pilot stage (TRL 3–4)
We’re working with textile mills, material engineers, and defense suppliers to test and refine our fiber under real-world conditions.

Our Vision

   

Reimagining performance fibers—without the trade-offs.

At Nicelle Technologies, we’re committed to building a future where high-performance fibers are clean to produce, safe to work with, and accessible to U.S. manufacturers.

Our mission is to redefine acrylic fiber through AcrylFLOW—a safer, lower-emission process that supports American manufacturing, environmental progress, and long-term supply chain resilience.
