Aluminized Fabrics

A Global Leader

Email PagePrint me

The global leader in the manufacture of Aluminized Fabrics, Gentex's domestically woven technical textiles are purchased around the world for the design and supply of high quality, industrial and firefighting apparel. The integration of our materials ensures superior protection and performance in the extreme work environments faced by civilians, emergency service, homeland defense and military personnel.

Proven to be superior in both performance and cost effectiveness, our Dual Mirror® Aluminized Fabrics are sought by manufacturers, engineers and designers that specialize in products subjected to extreme performance and environmental conditions. These include fire, radiant heat, high-temperature steam, molten metals and non-FR infrared heat and sunlight. Our unique five-layer textile structure reflects 95% of infrared heat, and offers an efficient high-temperature barrier material and superior durability.

Current applications include industrial heat shielding, molten metal splash protective clothing, radiant heat protective clothing, and proximity fire fighting. Other innovative projects, such as industrial and commercial insulation, continue to be developed and tested.

All Gentex fabrics are manufactured to meet stringent ISO 9001 standards, and many are certified for NFPA,  NFPA 1971-2006 and various international, European Standard (EN), MIL-C-87076A, MIL-C-24929A and ASTM F955-85 standards. Proper care and cleaning assure peak efficencies.

Currently, more than 40 styles of Aluminized Fabrics are available in widths ranging from 40- to 60-inches or 1 to 1.5 meters. Gentex's Flexir® materials are incorporated to enhance product flexibility, often at weights lower than conventional woven textile substrates. We also offer a range of other beneficial Gentex materials including Preox®, PBI®, PFR® Rayon, and Korspun I®.

Gentex's history of melding metals with fabrics to create highly beneficial technical textiles spans more than 50 years. Our initial mission to weave high-quality fabrics for World War II military cargo parachutes evolved to include aluminizing capabilities that met the demands of U.S. military researchers working to probe the Earth's upper atmospheres.
