Thanks to their tremendous flexibility, technical textiles possess the ideal attributes to protect people, even under the most adverse conditions. In this context, demands are placed on them not only by the civilian but also the military sector. There’s no question that the challenges involved in both of these areas could hardly be more different.
Uniforms and bulletproof vests are subject to difficult field conditions. They must actively protect the soldier from various environmental influences while passively ensuring his or her safety, such as reducing the effects of infrared emissions. For its part, civilian use, ranging from tents to work clothing, must offer protection from dangerous or troublesome influences in everyday life – demands that we are more than able to satisfy with our products. |  |
