Amphitex™ is a polyolefin membrane platform that delivers waterproof, breathable protection without PFAS or toxic solvents. Every membrane is designed to enable mono-material construction when paired with compatible face fabrics, ensuring performance layers don't hinder recycling.
Microporous Architecture
Microscopic pores block liquid water while allowing water vapour to escape through physical transport, not chemical diffusion. The pores are too small for water droplets to penetrate, yet large enough for vapour molecules to pass through freely.
100% Polyolefin System
The membrane and adhesive use polyolefin chemistry. When paired with polyolefin face fabrics, the entire laminate becomes mono-material and recyclable.
No forever chemicals, no toxic organic solvents. Compliant with Global PFAS restrictions across EU and US
Delivers performance while maintaining comfort, a key differentiator versus rigid PFAS-free alternatives.
When paired with polyolefin face fabrics, the entire laminate is chemically recyclable without separation.
Integrates seamlessly into existing hot melt lamination lines. We provide technical support for lamination optimisation to develop finished fabric specifications.
Amphitex™ BALANCE is engineered for everyday jackets and commuter shells where soft handle and comfort are as important as protection.
