Milipol 23 – GORE-TEX Stretch Fabric

Tuesday, November 14th, 2023

GORE-TEX Professional continues to develop their Stretch Fabric Technology and this prototype garment caught my eye.

GORE-TEX Stretch Fabric Technology which retains the water and wind proof breathable characteristics of Gore’s ePTFe material but adds the ability to stretch. The jacket design is not new to snowboarders but it improves the ability to access the inside of the jacket in case of injury, particularly when wearing armor. With access zippers on either side, it’s also easier to vent if needed. It’s an innovation worth taking a look at.

ProTact by Haartz Line Expands Its Offerings to Include MultiCam Patterns

Wednesday, November 1st, 2023

ACTON, Mass., Oct. 30, 2023 — The Haartz Corporation, a global leader in highly engineered and uniquely designed textile materials, announced that its ProTact by Haartz™ material is now available in MultiCam® patterns. MultiCam® is an original combat-proven pattern officially issued for use by the US Army for its Afghanistan operations in 2010 and remains a leading name in concealment pattern solutions.

The different camouflages from MultiCam® incorporate unique high-resolution patterns designed using tests that studied how camouflage works in nature to increase its wearer’s concealment properties. Variants can be applied to printed textile applications across different global environments, elevations and light conditions.

ProTact by Haartz is a multi-layer textile laminated material that provides military, law enforcement, SWAT teams and other first responders with a durable material tested against flex and fatigue, fabric fraying, high-temperature laundering and high-temperature and humidity endurance. The design of ProTact material is adaptable and can conform to a wide range of patterns including each MultiCam® variant and can be scaled to meet growing demand.   

“We’ve received tremendous feedback since launching ProTact by Haartz and are eager to expand the line of materials to include the high-demand variants of the MultiCam® family of patterns,” stated Samit Sadavarte, director, business development – new markets at Haartz. “The broad uses of MultiCam® across multiple global environments is an area of high growth for Haartz as we continue to build on the demand for reliable military textile materials and applications. This expansion also exemplifies the desire by Haartz to continuously adapt our offerings to meet the needs of our customers – which has been a consistent theme throughout our more than one hundred years of operation.”

Laminates are available in multiple different patterns and materials – including colors like black, ranger green, tan 499 and wolf gray and patterns like the widely used Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP), Vietnam Tiger Stripe and Desert Tiger Stripe and Woodland M81. With the addition of MultiCam®, variations have expanded to include MultiCam®, MultiCam® Arid, MultiCam® Tropic, MultiCam® Alpine and MultiCam® Black.

ProTact is a versatile replacement to the widely used Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) system due to the high-energy laser ablation cutting processes that can be used when manufacturing tactical vests and other materials. Laser ablation prevents fabric tearing and allows for attachment points to be placed anywhere on the fabric and flexibility for applying a webbing feature in various sizes, shapes and locations. Wearers can also easily adjust their ballistic load carrier to remove ballistic plates when they are no longer needed.

ProTact by Haartz is Berry Amendment compliant and is available to large-scale manufacturers and smaller individual companies in the United States and Europe in 500x500d, 500x1000d and 1000x1000d yarn structure constructions.

Sunday, October 8th, 2023

Replacing TenCate Brand After 25 Years

With a New Name, a Contract for Its Latest Innovation, and an Enduring Commitment to Quality, Integris Composites Is Exhibiting at AUSA 2023, Booth 2153

Washington, Oct. 6, 2023 — The group that announced its game-changing Trauma Reduction Technology here last year is returning to AUSA 2023 with the announcement of its first military contract for ballistic plates using that technology, a new name for the company and a renewed commitment to quality and customer service.

“We will meet you at Booth 2153 as Integris Composites USA, Inc.,” said Andrew Bonham, president. Last month Integris became the new name for TenCate Advanced Armor. Integris is exhibiting at the Association of the United States Army 2023 Annual Meeting and Exposition, to be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., Oct. 9–11.

“Visitors can examine our Cratus™ 3650 Wave ballistic plates, which incorporate the Trauma Reduction Technology we premiered at last year’s AUSA conference. This year we are demonstrating the plates and other innovative composite solutions,” Bonham said.

Deep Experience

“Best of all, you can meet our team and experience their unwavering commitment to customized ballistic, blast, spall and weight solutions that stretch the boundaries of existing products and standards,” said David Cordova, chief commercial officer.

“Our new name, Integris, embodies a quarter-century legacy of design, engineering and manufacturing armor for personal protection as well as land, air, and naval vehicle survivability.

“We’ll continue challenging current limits with fresh approaches — such as our composite optronics housings that protect the sensors inside as well as our advanced spall-liner solutions, notable for their lightness and significant cone-angle reductions,” added Cordova.

The global Integris Composites organization and Integris Composites USA, Inc. are headquartered in Tysons Corner, Va.

Noble Biomaterials Launches CIRCUITEX SIGMA at AUSA Tradeshow

Tuesday, September 26th, 2023

Berry-compliant signature management program defines a new era for military technology. Electronic and thermal shielding solution protects against energy sensors that detect equipment and soldiers.

SCRANTON, PA. [September 26, 2023] Noble Biomaterials, a global leader in antimicrobial and conductivity solutions for soft surface applications, announces the launch of CIRCUITEX® SIGMA, (Signature Management) with Select Fabricators at the AUSA Annual Meeting in Washington D.C, October 9-11, 2023.

Select Fabricators, a leading U.S. Manufacturer of RF/EMI shielding enclosures, will showcase its new line of products with CIRCUITEX® SIGMA technology at AUSA. Select’s portfolio of products includes RF/EMI shielding tents, boxes, and large-scale modular enclosures. The company supplies product to the U.S. Government for several applications from SCIFS, vehicles, digital forensics, to small electronic device shielding and RFIS isolation.

“We are seeing demand increase for advanced signature management technology,” says Andrew Pluta, President of Select Fabricators. “Our customers require energy management solutions that control data and shield from advanced electromagnetic sensors. Capabilities that mitigate detection are a vital part of our business. Our partnership with Noble allows us to have an advantage in the signature management space for both thermal and electrical protection.”

CIRCUITEX® SIGMA uses a proprietary silver-based technology that shields emissive thermal signatures such as body heat, engine heat, and active firearms — anything that produces a thermal signature. In addition to emissive shielding benefits, CIRCUITEX® SIGMA can reflect electrical registrations as well. The combination delivers advanced protection allowing military units to stay virtually undetected by advanced sensors. 

“Developing products for combat has changed dramatically,” says Joel Furey, Noble Biomaterials Co-founder, and Chief Commercial Officer. “Our domestically manufactured silver technology delivers mission critical solutions that protect lives and valuable equipment. We have refined our product portfolio to meet and exceed expectations while maintaining our Berry-complaint status. The team in Scranton is very proud of the impact our products have on the market, and how they are being delivered.”
