I’ve often wondered what a combat uniform made from Gore Pyrad treated fabric would look like. I’m a big fan of the technology. Having heard that some work was being done in Europe I was excited to see this display.
In this case, it’s the French Camouflage Centre Europe pattern, but the Pyrad treatment can be applied to most fabrics. As you can see, it doesn’t negatively affect the color of the pattern.
The fabric retains its basic properties yet becomes FR. So, for example, a waterproof breathable fabric remains so. It also doesnt feel heavy or hot. But, it’s not something that’s going to wash out.

That is some pretty impressive science. How do they apply it? Spray? Soak?
That’s the secret sauce.
Can clothing manufacturers have Gore Tex apply Pyrad to their products? I know that I’d like it to be done to my workout shirts so that if I’m ever in the lab again after exercising I won’t be afraid of every Bunsen burner.
It has to be done before the fabric is sewn into garments
Can the fabric be sent in as rolls or do they require something else?
If you want to incorporate the technology, you’ll need to check with WL Gore. They’ll give you the latest process.
