Materials Engineering: Engineered Fabric Solutions and Flexible Laminate Materials
From laminates to reinforced fabrics, our engineered materials include puncture-resistant and high-tensile fabrics for space exploration, chemical and biological warfare, body armor, airships, flotation, reinforced rubber, diaphragms, filters, and sailcloth. Warwick specializes in the engineering of materials and high performance composites for demanding technical challenges and advanced applications. We work closely with our partners in the industries of international defense, military, aerospace, safety, and law enforcement, with a focus on engineering materials and fabrics for applications with a high cost of failure.
Breaking Performance Boundaries with Materials Research
The foundation of the Warwick corporate philosophy is a commitment to breaking performance boundaries through materials engineering, research, and development. Our integral knowledge of weaving technologies gives us the ability to provide our customers with seamless service in the production of engineered materials and high-performance, puncture-resistant laminates from development to full-scale production and fabrication. We are an ISO 9001:2000 certified company—our quality management system ensures product consistency and the ability to exceed expectations. We leverage knowledge for more predictable results, excellent quality assurance, shorter production times, and higher end-user confidence in product performance.
Materials Engineered for Safety and Protection
Warwick has unparalleled experience engineering high-performance fabric laminates, chem-bio barriers, inflatables, and flexible composite materials:

- Marine inflatables for impact protection
- Proprietary heat-seal bonding for specialty fabric laminates
- Advanced RFL and isocyanate fabric coatings
- Diaphragm material for vehicle turbo-chargers
- Sailcloth for super yachts
- TurtleSkin Body Armor: concealable and tactical body armor for ballistic and stab protection
- TurtleSkin protective products: TurtleSkin Gloves for safety and law enforcement, SnakeArmor hunting gaiters and chaps, WaterArmor protective gear for high-pressure water jet operators, SpinSkins bike tire liners for amateur and professional use
The Challenge
Identify and develop robust, lightweight materials and laminates for chemical biological protective structures.
Our Solution Working with Natick Soldier System Center’s Shelters Technology, Engineering and Fabrication Directorate (STEFD) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), we have developed chemical biological protective materials that can be assembled into a protective shelter for defense, military, and emergency personnel. These protective barrier materials deliver the necessary properties of low weight, flame resistance, weather resistance, durability, low packing volume, structural heat seal, and thermal management. We are also developing rechargeable laminates that destroy chemical and biological agents on contact.
We have created impermeable barrier materials that meet the US Department of Defense’s demanding specs for CBPS [Chemical Biological Protective Shelters] and JECP [Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection].—Mary Ley, Research Chemist
