Meltex Textiles Limited supplies a wide range of high‑tenacity polyester knits, spacer meshes, and 3D spacer meshes. These products complement our established portfolio of military fabrics and our end‑to‑end military supply capability, enabling us to offer customers multiple material options for load‑carrying systems, combat helmets, and military automotive seating.

Our knits, meshes, and spacers can be supplied dyed or printed, including IRR‑dyed and IRR‑printed variants, and can also be flame‑retardant treated to meet demanding defence specifications.

These materials are also widely used by the emergency services, where we can supply them in EN20471 high‑visibility yellow, high‑visibility orange, and GORT red/orange for certified safety applications.

Beyond defence and emergency services, our products are equally suited to recreational and consumer applications, including bicycle helmets, backpack comfort systems, and other performance‑driven designs.

Meltex Textiles Limited manufactures a comprehensive range of nylon fabrics designed for demanding end‑use applications. Our nylon portfolio includes plain dyed, IRR dyed, printed, IRR printed, polyurethane‑coated, flame‑retardant coated, silicone‑coated, silicone/PU hybrid‑coated, TPU, bonded, and laminated options.

Nylon remains a preferred material across military, medical, and automotive sectors thanks to its exceptional strength‑to‑weight ratio. It offers outstanding abrasion resistance, high tensile and compressive strength, and excellent durability under continuous use. Nylon fabrics are also resistant to water, mildew, and chemicals, ensuring long‑term performance and dimensional stability.

Our 210D nylon is a leading choice for military applications, particularly when FRPU or PU coated. The 840D nylon, when TPU/PU coated, is widely used by emergency services for medical and response bags due to its wipe‑clean surface and robust construction. Additionally, our 210D and 70D nylon fabrics are popular in medical environments when finished with PU or silicone coatings.

Meltex Textiles Limited is not only a leading supplier of high‑performance fabrics but also a trusted provider of specialised accessories and spare parts across multiple sectors. We support military applications such as load‑carrying systems, supply emergency services with components for response bags and protective equipment, and serve the outdoor and recreational sports market with items suitable for climbing and other demanding activities.

Our comprehensive product range includes—but is not limited to—anti‑break buckles, slip locks, duckbills, D‑rings, cord locks, end caps, hooks, touch‑and‑close fasteners, string, cord, elastic, zippers, fasteners, eyelets, webbing, and sewing thread. This breadth allows us to meet the needs of manufacturers seeking durable, reliable, and technically robust components.

Meltex Textiles Limited’s nylon 6.6 and high‑tenacity fabrics were originally engineered to meet the demanding requirements of the military sector. Today, these exceptionally durable materials are also trusted across aviation, automotive and emergency services applications.

We offer an extensive range of finishing options, including specialist coatings, bonding, TPU applications and lamination. Negastat can also be incorporated directly during the weaving process for enhanced antistatic performance.

Customers can choose from IRR-dyed, IRR-printed and standard dyeing options to suit their operational needs.

Nylon 6.6 fabrics are widely recognised for their outstanding durability, high abrasion resistance and exceptional strength, making them ideal for the most challenging environments.

Meltex Textiles Limited manufactures a 100D high‑tenacity polyester oxford fabric available in a range of widths, incl. 154 cm, 160–162 cm, and 183 cm. Negastat can also be incorporated directly during the weaving process for enhanced antistatic performance.

Using high‑tenacity polyester enables us to deliver a fabric with significantly higher tear and tensile strength compared to standard polyester constructions. Polyester also provides superior light fastness and UV resistance when compared with nylon, making it especially suitable for demanding outdoor environments.

Customers can choose from IRR-dyed, IRR-printed and standard dyeing options to suit their operational needs.
