Coretech® Applications
Coretech® UniGuard
Protective fabrics for highest levels of chemical clothing such as fully encapsulated gas-tight suits and splash resistant overalls. These materials are already used in certified ONESuit® chemical HAZMAT ensembles from Saint-Gobain.
Coretech® ShelterGuard
Chemical and biological resistant fabric for use as "single skin" in CBRN shelters and collective protection tents. Excellent UV resistance, "blackout" performance and permeation resistance to toxic industrial chemicals and warfare agents.
Coretech® HydroGuard
Flexible chemical and biological (CBRN) resistant laminate for potable water containment systems used by military personnel to ensure adequate hydration when operating in hazardous environments.
Coretech® EnviroGuard
Flexible and robust material typically consisting of outer urethane layers with excellent chemical resistance and anti-static properties. Intended for use in environmental applications such as vapor collection bladders, containment bladders and floating roof seals, and other applications where reduction in chemical emissions is a key concern.
