Teflon is a unique fabric treatment that creates an invisible shield around the fibers. It is a patented development by the chemical company Invista (formerly DuPont Textiles & Interiors) in the USA.
Teflon coating is not felt to the touch, suitable for various types of fabrics, and does not affect the shade or breathability of the treated material. Using this coating prevents contaminants from penetrating the fiber, so any liquid, even oil-based, can be wiped off the fabric, and dust and dried dirt can be removed with a simple brush.
The chemical compound Teflon is applied to the treated surface as an aqueous solution by immersion, followed by fixation. The material is fully saturated with Teflon through its thickness, affecting only the yarn (threads), and has no impact on the fabric’s “breathable” properties.
Teflon fabric is most often used in light industry for manufacturing workwear, active outdoor clothing for any weather, and military uniforms. We use Rip-Stop fabric with Teflon coating.
The Teflon fabric coating development combines several important advantages:
- resistance to atmospheric precipitation and dirt;
- dense fabric structure that repels even oil-based liquids;
- increased wear and fire resistance;
- fabric with Teflon coating offers a wide range of color options;
- resistance to harmful UV radiation;
- material does not wrinkle, stretch, or crease after treatment;
- material is pleasant to the touch, and the surface is completely smooth after treatment.
In our products, this coating is present in tactical suits, pants, and headwear.
