FAQs

Amphitex™ is a platform of PFAS-free, toxic solvent-free microporous polyolefin membranes that deliver waterproof, breathable performance. The platform is designed with tuneable performance profiles to match different application needs.

Amphitex™ uses a microporous polyolefin architecture instead of ePTFE or PU-based systems:

‍· PFAS-free and toxic solvent-free from the start (not a retrofit)
‍· Softer hand feel compared to many PFAS-free alternatives
‍· Mono-material construction when paired with polyolefin face fabrics
‍· Designed for circularity with mechanical recycling pathways
‍

Yes. Amphitex™ membranes can be laminated to synthetic and natural fibres face fabrics using a polyolefin adhesive system.

For maximum circularity, we recommend polypropylene face fabrics. This creates a true mono-material laminate where membrane, adhesive, and face fabric all use the same polymer family, enabling chemical recycling without complex separation.

Yes. Amphitex™ is PFAS-free and compliant with global PFAS restrictions across EU and US. The polyolefin adhesives are also free from hazardous isocyanates and are OEKO-TEX® and bluesign® certified.

Yes. The polyolefin adhesive integrates seamlessly into existing hot melt lamination lines. We've validated this with EU manufacturing partners and provide technical support for integration.

Amphicolor™ is a waterless colour solution for fabrics that delivers colour through weaving, validated using proprietary recipes. It unlocks a broader spectrum of colours and tonal depth without early commitment, offering predictable and consistent results without the high commitments typical of conventional solution dyeing. By achieving colour through the way yarns are combined and woven, Amphicolor™ enables greater flexibility, faster development cycles, and reliable outcomes.

Amphicolor achieves colour through weaving rather than dyeing finished fabric. By combining a limited set of pre-coloured yarns in controlled ways, it enables a wider range of colours and tonal effects without locking brands into large, fixed palettes early in development.

By combining machine learning and proprietary methods, we enable a broader range of colours and tonal effects without early palette lock-in.

Traditional solution dyeing is waterless, but it typically requires high minimums and early colour commitment. Amphicolor is designed to reduce those constraints by:

‍· Enabling broader palettes with proprietary recipes providing predictable colour without high minimum order quantities
‍· Supporting lower minimums suitable for seasonal testing and limited runs
‍· Reducing sampling loops and development time
‍· Delivering predictable colour behaviour before production

The result is greater flexibility without sacrificing the benefits of waterless colour.

Compared to conventional wet dyeing (based on our 40D recycled nylon fabric), Amphicolor™ delivers measurable reductions in environmental impact:

· –55% water use (57L → 25L per kg fabric)
‍· –16% CO₂ emissions (22.3kg → 18.7kg per kg fabric)
‍· –15% electricity use (38.69 kWh → 32.87 kWh per kg fabric)

These benefits come from eliminating wet dyeing while reducing over-sampling and rework.

Amphicolor™ is currently available as a production-ready 40D recycled nylon fabric. We are extending Amphicolor™ to additional materials and weights in collaboration with manufacturing partners.
