Tents and insulating structure

We developed a range of multilayer anti-fire complexes used as slim and flexible insulators  for the inner layer of emergency tents, military or during events.

These insulators are fire-rated M1 or M2 and can be waterproof, breathing or antistatic according to needs. The most performant products can reach an RCT close to 0.5 m2. K/W according to the norm EN 12667.

Masks and blouses, isolation airlocks, antibacterial and virucidal textiles.

Diatex, with its expertise in weaving and fabric treatments, manufactures in its workshops a wide range of technical fabrics with a medical or paramedical* orientation. Our position as a manufacturer enables us to master the various technical characteristics sought in these fabrics for medical or paramedical use, i.e. the functions: antibacterial, antistatic, waterproofing, filtration, etc., on a temporary or permanent basis.

Our products fully fulfil a barrier or filtering role. They provide total protection or at least temporary security.

During the manufacturing process we obviously integrate the notions of efficiency, economy and durability. All our fabrics are washable and reusable.
In this way, we participate in the ecological approach that is opposed to single-use objects.

* range of fabrics adapted for manufacturing :

Blouses and overalls
	We have chosen to work with a light polyester fabric to allow the blouses to be washed and dried quickly. The advantages of our product : Light polyester : Washes and dries quickly Addition of conductive threads : Permanent antistatic properties Water repellent treatment of the fibre : Water repellent resistant to many washes.

Masks

One of our fabrics, breathable, resistant and water-repellent, currently allows the manufacture of masks for non-sanitary use category 1 anti-projection.Reusable, it retains its properties after 40 washes.Approved by the DGA (Directorate General of Armaments). Compliying with AFNOR specifications – March 27, 2020 (AFNOR Spec – Barrier masks) and specifications now referenced by an interministerial note of March 29, 2020. (AFNOR SPEC S76-001).AXMASQUE

Isolation kit for stretchers

CIVIANCE is an isolation kit for stretchers that can be used on all types of stretchers available in armies, emergency services and civil or military hospitals.

It represents the most economical solution with a double aim :

•  the prevention of any risk of contamination of nursing staff and equipment (stretcher, vehicle) during the transfer of patients with contagious diseases (e.g. #COVID).
• the optimisation of the number of possible interventions with the same equipment and crew.

Containment airlock
The advantages of our product:

• Light and flexible coated fabric: < 150 g/m²
• Fire classification M1
• Resistance to abrasion
• Does not become brittle like PVCs in negative temperatures, remains flexible

Flexible, light and easily movable insulation materials

Emergency medical tents

Movable walls

We weave a complete range of base fabrics for Coating & Laminating used for Aeronautics and Space industry.

Examples of applications :

• Aramid fabrics for seal or expansion joint.
• Flame retardant fabrics for air planes interiors.
• Miltary parachutes and air brakes fabrics.
• Protective bags with hydrolysis and abrasion resistance for parachute.

Textiles for inflatable structures : outer casing, helium airtight balloons.

Our experience in the filtration and aeraulics sector has enabled us to launch a range of fabrics used in airtight structures both indoors and out :

• PU fireproof coating , UV resistant.
• Laminations of technical films, waterproof, UV resistant , air tight and helium tight, reflectors, scattering.
• Metallization.
