The range offers several technical benefits for tactical equipment manufacturers, including:

  • Laser-cut ready - clean edges, no residue
  • Reduced fraying - precision layer bonding
  • Superior flexibility - softer feel, more comfortable wear
  • CORDURA® Truelock technology - consistent colour, UV fade resistance
  • No delamination - even in extreme conditions
  • Proven field performance - engineered for reliability under pressure

The initial range includes ProTact G510.1, a 500D/1000D fabric offered in black, coyote brown and the MultiCam® camouflage pattern, and ProTact G55.1, a 500D/500D option available in black, coyote brown and ranger green.

ProTact by Haartz® has already proven itself in the field with advanced durability and protection.

More safety and comfort for protective clothing thanks to auxetic fabrics

When everyday materials are pulled, they stretch or elongate in the direction of the pull and become narrower in cross-section. We can also observe this property in two-dimensional textiles. Auxetic structures behave differently here. They have the striking property of not changing under tensile stress or even increasing their width or thickness. These properties are advantageous, for example, in protective textiles or textile filter media. The DITF are researching auxetic fabrics for various applications.
