TenCate secures Italian order for protective fabric

05/04/2011
TenCate Protective Fabrics has announced an order from Italian manufacturer Aero Sekur for its fire-resistant TenCate Defender M fabric.

Aero Sekur wants to use the fabric in an application for the Italian military.

Ramon Overdijk, marketing and sales director for TenCate Protective Fabrics in Europe, said on announcing the win: "Defender M proved to be the decisive factor during the selection by the Italian Ministry of Defence of a fabric that is fire-resistant, comfortable and lightweight. TenCate is able to provide the fabric in a variety of camouflage patterns or supply it in several solid colours. This makes the fabric versatile in its use for the protection of several branches of the armed forces, such as the army, special units, air force and navy.”

TenCate and Austrian fibre producer Lenzing have combined their knowledge of the development and production of fire-resistant fabrics based on fibres that are inherently fire-resistant and comfortable to wear. Lenzing FR fibre is a key ingredient of Defender M fabrics.
