Spiro-Tex is a waterborne, solvent-free coating concept tailored to the modern demand of brands. It allows you to meet high performance levels, provide ultimate consumer comfort and comply to increasing environmental regulations. One by one achievable without making any concessions.
Meet our unique technology
Spiro-Tex’ technology is able to combine breathability, waterproofness and windproofness in a sustainable manner. This technology makes a textile breathable by allowing water vapor molecules to be transported from the inside of the textile to the outside of the textile. In addition, Spiro-Tex’ technology prevents water and wind to penetrate through the textile from the outside. Making the textile water- and windproof.
Note: Whereas a breathable fabric can transport water out of the textile. Air permeable fabrics let air into the textile. Meaning, air permeable fabrics are not windproof. This is not the same as breathability.
