Waterproof and breathable clothing
Nanofibers have the ability to create performance apparel with entirely new properties. Simultaneously breathable and protective. Composite material with nanofibers is the basis for any performance apparel.
Outdoor clothing
Incorporation of nanofibers into outdoor clothing provides protection from the elements, improved water resistance, and increased breathability, resulting in a more comfortable garment.
- Water column 5000‑15000 mm (ISO 811)
- Breathability 25,000 g/m²/24 hours (MVTR ISO 15496)
- Air permeability 125 Pa, 0.4‑2.0 cfm (Windproof)
- Flexibility and softness of material (soft to the touch)
Footwear
Nanofibers provide footwear with waterproofing, as well as breathability and comfort.
- Breathability 25,000 g/m²/24 hours (MVTR ISO 15496)
- Water column 5000‑15000 mm (ISO 811)
- Air permeability 125 Pa, 0.4‑2.0 cfm (Windproof)
Protective clothing
Composite material enriched with nanofibers protect against hazardous chemicals.
Nanofibers are used in protective clothing for firefighters, military personnel, and other specific fields where people come into contact with high temperatures, dust, or dangerous chemical substances.
- Water column 5000‑15000 mm (ISO 811)
- Breathability 25,000 g/m²/24 hours (MVTR ISO 15496)
- Air permeability 125 Pa, 0.4‑2.0 cfm (Windproof)
- Flame resistant or flame retardant polymers can be electrospun for use in protective clothing.
A unique combination of great features
The performance of nanofiber‑enriched composite materials can be optimized through a unique combination of nanofiber layer properties:
high specific surface area
light-weight
very small fiber diameter
high water vapor permeability
chemical functionalization
high porosity (> 80%)
Nanotechnology significantly improves your existing products
LINEA line
