Our solutions provide the necessary technical properties, fully in line with the strict requirements of the defence industry.

View our textile applications around Defence

Thanks to our expertise in chemistry, we develop and produce advanced solutions. Our solution, applied to a technical textile, is more than just a functional component; it creates a product that provides resilience, strength, protection or essential adhesion, ensuring the safety of military personnel and professionals in this sector.

Examples of our products are:

BEMIGUARD ECO M, a high-performance water, oil and dirt repellent coating.

  • This coating is ideal for military clothing, backpacks and other outdoor applications where protection and durability are essential.

Within our BEMICOLL product group, we offer advanced adhesive coatings for bonding membranes.

  • These products provide a strong, breathable and flexible bond in applications such as tents, parachutes and high-performance protective textiles.

Water, oil and dirt repellency

To give a material the right repellent properties, Schmits offers numerous options within its BEMIGUARD product group, including fluorine-free (PFAS-free). For example, the water and dirt repellent BEMIGUARD WRMP can also be combined with our fire retardants BEMIFLAME ND and BEMIFLAME NWM.

Bondability of surfaces

Our BEMICOLL product group contains all kinds of chemical solutions for bonding membranes, among other things, in applications such as:

  • Tents

  • Parachutes

  • High-quality protective textiles

Our solutions ensure both strength and flexibility, essential requirements in the defence industry.
