Push The Limits

Innovation is essential to face the challenges of a globalized and ever-changing world. Testing new products that previously seemed impossible, and opening new, unexplored paths, are key elements in the success of creating innovative materials.

Customized Technical Solutions

Specific requests demand individual solutions. That is why we offer our customers the possibility to experiment a wide range of advanced materials in our six coating and laminating technologies. Our highly experienced team has a successful history of transforming many of our customers concepts into innovative new products.

How we Test our Fabrics

All our fabrics are designed to offer the best performance. We conduct rigorous testing at every stage of the process, from initial laboratory developments to final application in real-world situations.

ADHESION

The Adhesion Test determines the bond strength between two or more layers of fabric. High adhesion levels are important in applications where the fabric will be flexed, bent or exposed to extreme weather.

WATERPROOFNESS

The Hydrostatic Head Test measures water permeability of fabrics under a certain pressure. The greater the pressure resistance, the greater the fabric’s ability to block water penetration from one side to the other.

BREATHABILITY

The MVTR Test (Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate) measures the rate of moisture transmission through a fabric. The higher the MVTR, the greater the breathability of the fabric.

WATER REPELLENCY

The Spray Test measures the water repellency of the fabric. The fewer water drops that stick to the fabric, the better, because wet fabrics reduce evaporation and make breathability difficult.

STRENGTH AND ELONGATION

Tensile Strength and Elongation at Break tests provide information about the strength and ductility of a material. These tests demonstrate how much force a fabric can withstand before it fails.

THICKNESS AND WEIGHT

Thickness and weight measurements help define the perfect material for each project. The results of these measurements help to improve important performances such as thermal control and impact resistance.

ABRASION RESISTANCE

The Martindale Test shows how much wear and tear a fabric can take before there is a noticeable change in appearance. The higher the score, the more durable the fabric.

Creativity + Collaboration = Innovation

In collaboration with costumers, research centres and universities, everyday we work in innovative projects to develop new technical textiles to give final products that extra edge. We are pushing the boundaries of what is possible with composite materials by creating stronger, smarter and more sustainable textiles.
