Tex Tech designs and manufactures specialty textiles for the defense, aerospace, automotive, and other industries. We can provide tailored, science-driven material solutions to address complex application requirements for original equipment manufacturers globally. Below, learn more about our approach to custom textile projects and advanced production capabilities.
From Research and Development to Scale
Procurement professionals and sourcing teams require dependable manufacturing partners to keep projects on schedule. At Tex Tech, our approach to textile development involves collaboration between engineering departments and our internal material scientists, utilizing a targeted, scientific method to solve complex design challenges.
The development cycle begins with confirming your project needs and selecting the right materials for the application. During this phase, we work to define specific performance metrics and environmental constraints. Our development lab allows our technicians to design, build, and test material samples to evaluate how they react to heat, moisture, mechanical stress, or other conditions.
Once the prototype meets all specifications, fiber preparation and manufacturing can occur. Depending on the material complexity and end-use, general production lead times span 10 to 15 weeks.
Capabilities That Set Us Apart
Over the years, Tex Tech has expanded its technical capabilities through strategic acquisitions. We’ve integrated Universal Carbon Fibers to spin OPAN yarns for automotive wet friction applications. We have also brought the CarbonX product line into our portfolio for advanced heat protection in extreme environments.
Today, we support diverse project requirements across several product types, with capabilities that extend to:
- Woven fabrics. We can manufacture woven structures and can utilize 3D weaving technology to build complex material architectures.
- Non-woven fabrics. Our team creates high-performance needle-punched textiles and woven felt products designed for demanding environments.
- Coating and lamination. We can apply tailored coatings to one or both sides of fabric to boost adhesion, durability, and resistance to water or abrasion.
- Curing and finishing. This can involve setting chemical layers and performing die-cutting or final quality assurance.
We maintain research, development, and manufacturing under one roof to enforce strict quality control protocols. To support these manufacturing methods, we operate a world-class analytical lab to evaluate material performance at a microscopic level. By relying on material science experience, technical capability, and advanced testing, we are able to produce textiles that satisfy demanding industry parameters.
Contact Tex Tech Industries to Learn More
Tex Tech Industries acts as an experienced partner for complex material engineering projects. We combine more than a century of technical knowledge in custom textile development with global manufacturing facilities to build reliable solutions for niche industrial applications. Our advanced analytical lab executes precise textile prototyping to validate material performance before mass production begins. We then leverage our experience and capabilities to provide textiles and fabrics tailored to specific application demands, from reusable, lightweight Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) for space vehicles to custom reinforcement fabrics for composite components.
