What is Diablo? What is the new material for?

Active and mission clothing must ensure freedom of movement!
Diablo is ideally suited for textile inserts in areas that are subject to high stress during physical activity, such as knees, arms, the area below the shoulder and around the waist. The stretch capacity of this 2-layer laminate is approx. 50 % (49 % in the test 
with 20 N/5 cm). Its dimensional stability is 96% (tested at 20 N/5 cm). Durability, durability and elasticity make Diablo an indispensable discreet companion.

Target audience?

Due to its elasticity and adaptability, Diablo is the ideal textile fabric for active and dynamic wearers, such as emergency forces, elite troops, professional athletes.
It is suitable for intensive use because it is extremely durable and long-lasting. Even after 100 washes, the fabric retains its properties and shows no signs of wear.

Price?

Diablo is a high quality textile fabric and is manufactured in France. 
It is integrated in small quantities, in the form of inserts, in various types of clothing. Diablo is more competitive (about 25%) than similar products on the market, even though it is 100% made in France.

VAALSERBERG stands up to the highest demands!

Discover our range of laminated fabrics for professional sleeping equipment!  These materials can be used to manufacture bivy bags, compact tents, storage bags, transport bags or groundsheets.

Designed with a 3-layer laminate which is waterproof, windproof but also extremely breathable to provide long-lasting protection in all outdoor weather conditions.

The membrane technology perfectly combines gas and vapour permeability to promote oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange while eliminating condensation formation inside the equipment. In short, the equipment can be completely closed off for optimum insulation!

Finally these fabrics are produced from very lightweight substrates for lightweight, easy to carry and compact equipment without any compromise on protection or durability!

What is the purpose of this new material?
Many studies have unfortunately shown that firefighters, due to their prolonged exposure to 
their prolonged exposure to fumes, have a high risk of cancer. The hoods play a key role in protecting particularly exposed areas: the neck and throat. In order to fill the gaps in traditional equipment, a range of range of NNF LAMs has been developed, finally offering better protection to our everyday heroes without compromising comfort.

What is the NNF LAM?
The result of a collaboration between Alpex and Dupont, NNF LAM are technical textiles composed of 3 layers: An outer layer offering high thermal performance, composed mainly of Nomex® fibers, a nano-fiber membrane, and an inner layer that promotes moisture transfer. Soft, flexible and light, this material manages to be both extremely efficient in terms of protection (fire resistant, not producing annoying noise, filtering more than 99% of fine particles, bacteria and viruses), and comfortable to wear (breathable, stretch, light...). 
Also, its durability is excellent: tested after 100 washes or after 9 months of intensive use in the field, the material has well preserved its and its comfort.

Who is already using filtering hoods made of NNF LAM?
 
Developed in 2019, NNF LAM has just arrived on the market. Many tests are underway in Europe or in the Pacific, while some well-known brigades in brigades in North America have already adopted them for a few months.

What investment?

Nanotechnologies require industrial investments and specific developments. Clearly positioned as innovative materials, offering NNF LAMs, incorporating membranes manufactured with DuPont™ Nomex® fibers, are at the top of the range of PPE materials for protective hoods, offering an unequalled level of protection and comfort.
The durability of these materials (performance tested after 100 washes) allows this equipment to be considered as a medium to long-term investment.
The prices of NNF LAM fall within a fairly wide range, depending on the 
range, depending on the materials used and the and the models selected. They allow everyone to find a solution corresponding to his budget, within the framework of a within a reasonable overall cost of use.
