Nanofiber Membranes for Advanced Textile Applications
PlasmaGear develops lightweight, PFAS-free nanofiber membranes for performance, sustainable and protective textiles. Our membrane technologies are designed to add targeted functionality—including breathability, water resistance, particulate protection and barrier performance—while integrating into flexible textile systems.
Lightweight membranes that add breathability, water resistance and barrier protection to textiles, without PFAS. Every membrane can be tuned to your product.
Specialty protection
⇒ StretchForta: a stretchable, flame-retardant nanofiber membrane for firefighter hoods and particle-blocking applications. It moves with the wearer while keeping fine particles out.
⇒ OmniForta: a flame-retardant moisture and chemical barrier designed for NFPA 1990 Class 3 protective garments. It blocks liquids and chemicals while staying breathable (Ret ≤ 30 Pa·m²/W).
.
Sustainable membranes
⇒ EcoForta: a waterborne polyurethane membrane made without solvents (no DMF) and without PFAS. It holds 3,000 mm of water at only 9 g/m².
Mono-material solutions: membranes matched to the fabric polymer (for example nylon on nylon) for constructions designed to be easier to recycle.
Outdoor and consumer apparel
⇒ HydroForta: waterproof-breathable membranes with water resistance up to 10,000 mm, for rainwear, footwear and outerwear.
⇒ AeroForta: our most breathable membrane, with air permeability up to 4 CFM/ft². Built for comfort in activewear and high-output layers.
