Although the textile industry plays an important role in numerous parts of lives, as well as in military operations, several of these applications could not have materialized without Stedfast coating or laminating technologies. Stedfast takes the textile products and transforms them into barrier products.

Shield is the word that comes to mind to best describe Stedfast in one word. Most coated or laminated textiles are designed to provide a shield against penetration of non desirable elements. These non desirable elements can simply be water or cold, but also bacteria, viruses, radiation reflection, any types of chemicals or hydrocarbons. It can be protection against abrasion or impact, also against heat transfer or flame. Virtually any cause for discomfort can be addressed by a coated or laminated textile. The shield benefits are not limited to human. Instruments, equipment and structures also require protection by using coated or laminated textiles.

The range of products covered by Stedfast include shelters, rainwear, life rafts, rescue slides, moisture barriers for protective garments, camouflage systems, bivouac bags, chemical resistant suits, operating room products, flexible ventilation ducting, roofing, mattress covers, etc... The common denominator for these applications is the need to meet stringent specifications.
