“H2”, a three-layer fabric, is the lightest membrane on the market (45 grams) Manufactured using the unique Warp-Knit / Weft – Insert technology, “H2” was developed by Chargeurs PCC’s R&D teams at its historic La Lainière de Picardie site in Péronne, France.
This technological innovation gives the textile high stability, excellent breathability and great resistance, making it the ideal fabric for technical garments, particularly those intended for outdoor use, but also for the athleisure collections (chic sportswear) of well-known brands. The “H2” membrane, into which precious weft yarns can be integrated, will also be appreciated by luxury brands, who will be able to incorporate it into their collections.
This innovative fabric, which is unique in the world, is named after hydrogen for its lightness. In fact, it combines unrivalled lightness with an elasticity that allows the fabric to quickly return to its natural shape. In addition to these qualities, it offers breathability, comfort and versatility. This material sets a new standard not only for outerwear, but also for the world of luxury.
At ISPO Munich 2024, Chargeurs PCC also unveiled a line of innovative, eco-friendly products specially designed for the lingerie and swimwear sectors. This initiative is being carried out in collaboration with Nastrotex-Cufra, an Italian company renowned for its production of elastic tapes for the fashion and sportswear industries. This project highlights the dynamism of Chargeurs PCC, determined to strengthen its position as an innovative leader in the textile industry.
