There are many types of textiles available to use in products today. When you
combine the different types of fibers with the many different construction techniques,
you could be looking at thousands and thousands of combination to evaluate
for use in your product. At GTC, we have done these types of material selections many times, so we can quickly narrow the search down the right material for you. By evaluating the end use of the product we can pick the right fiber and fabric properties to use. Many production factories will tell you that they can pick the right material but you will find that they will usually pick the cheapest material available, not taking into consideration the long or short term impact that using these materials can have on you product. Do not ruin the brand equity that you have in your company's name by using a substandard material in your product. Make sure that the right material is used. The engineers at GTC have experience with all type of materials. Here is a list of only some of the markets we have experience in: Military clothing Military personal gear (tents, backpacks, sleeping bags) Military munitions (decelerators, inflatable wings) NASA's space suit Inflatable satellite structures Thermal protective blankets for space based applications Consumer apparel Consumer camping gear Consumer furniture Consumer general products Industrial clothing Industrial protective equipment Thermal personal protective equipment Chem/Bio personal protective equipment Chem/Bio collective protection (shelters/liners) |
