R&D for Advanced Textile Solutions
Gavazzi Tessuti Tecnici's R&D team provides expertise in the design and realisation of high-performance textile solutions, developed through the combination of fibres of different natures - organic, synthetic and metallic. Even materials with opposite properties can be integrated into tailor-made textile structures to create customised, sustainable, durable and high-tech products optimised for specific application areas.
Advantages
The increasing use of smart textiles enables the replacement of traditional materials with advanced technical solutions, contributing to the achievement of strategic objectives
- Weight reduction, with positive impacts on sustainability and the carbon footprint of end products
- Increased performance, in terms of strength, durability and material life cycle
- Cost optimisation, thanks to more efficient solutions in production processes
Industrial applications
The textile technologies developed by Gavazzi are used in numerous industrial sectors, thanks to the possibility of designing high-performance structures tailored to specific technical requirements:
- Industry: realisation of textiles with heating capabilities, through infrared (IR) effect or electromagnetic induction
- Automotive: use in battery components and electromagnetic wave shielding systems
- Aerospace: protection from lightning through the creation of textile structures with dissipative properties, which function as Faraday cages
- Thermal insulation: design of textiles with high temperature resistance, ideal for applications in extreme environments
