UK-based fabric manufacturer Carrington Textiles is set to debut at the International Defence Exhibition (IDEX) taking place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from February 20–24, 2023. The company will be unveiling some of its latest innovations in military textiles at the event.

After announcing the development of a fabric and pattern in collaboration with the Dutch ministry of defence last year, Carrington Textiles will be showcasing a brand-new product as part of its defence range.

The new Spartan HT Flex Lite fabric is a lightweight textile that features military grade Invista T420 nylon 6.6 staple fibre that is light yet strong. It offers integrated stretch properties due to its Lycra composition and the comfort of cotton.

The company is also launching its new camouflage print concept called Night Stealth Camo, created for military special operations carried out in the dark. Night Stealth Camo incorporates infrared signatures of printed camouflages when viewed under night vision devices, but in normal daylight appears as a black dyed fabric.

“We are pleased to be attending our very first IDEX in 2023 with these outstanding military propositions. Night Stealth Camo is a concept unique in the market that has already received great feedback from partners. The same for our new Spartan HT Flex Lite fabric which offers the stretch properties, comfort, and durability our customers in the armed forces are currently looking for,” said Carrington Textiles’ sales director Paul Farrell.

Carrington Textiles will be exhibiting at IDEX in stand 04-A23.
