World-beating innovations
We constantly invest in revolutionary product technology and research to ensure you have the best fabrics money can buy for your application.
Pioneering Activated Carbon CBRN fabrics
We’re leading the shift from cumbersome CBRN fabrics to cutting-edge Activated Carbon Cloth (ACC) that delivers superior comfort, protection and durability in extreme environments.
Drawing on over 60 years’ experience, our world-beating CBRN fabrics have been extensively tested by leading institutes, laboratories, and NATO partners against live agents, for full-body protection you can trust.
Ingenious innovations
01
CBRN
We have developed a unique activated carbon technology that creates a solid barrier of protection.
02
Adjustable Fibre Porosity
We have developed a next-generation activated carbon fabric with an intrinsic hierarchical pore structure within the fibre, designed to improve the speed with which harmful vapours are adsorbed. By introducing a “porogen”, a special kind of additive, during fibre formation, the fabric is created with additional mesopores and macropores, before being carbonised and activated. The result is a high-performance protective fabric that combines the proven benefits of activated carbon with enhanced accessibility to the internal microporous structure, helping to deliver faster adsorption performance and improved protection in challenging environments.
