Karl Mayer
In response to growing demand for high-performance personal protective equipment, Karl Mayer’s Technical Textiles unit has unveiled cutting-edge multiaxial non-crimp fabrics using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres, designed to enhance comfort, reduce weight, and maintain ballistic protection in bulletproof vests.
Using its UD 700 spreading machine and COP MAX 5 warp knitting system, Karl Mayer produces single-layer tapes. These are laminated with polymer film to ensure stability without chemicals or water, streamlining the process and improving sustainability.
Karl Mayer’s approach eliminates the need for resin-based bonding and manual stacking, reducing labour and energy use. As safety demands escalate worldwide, the company’s innovations set new benchmarks in lightweight, high-performance textile protection.
