Our research serving our development
Pennel & Flipo invests annually in Research and Development.
In this perspective, we have integrated a test lab and a dedicated team of 15 engineers.
Research and Development focuses on continuous improvement of ORCA© engineered fabrics. Our priorities are mechanical and chemical resistance, lightness, color resistance and environmental protection (in design, production, use and disposal of ORCA© fabrics).
Our research and development is based on our areas of expertise
The formulation of polymer blends
The design of textile backing
The bonding of polymers onto textile
These efforts in Research and Development guarantee ORCA© engineered fabrics :
Technicality reliability performances
About the environment
With its recent construction, our production plant has integrated the latetest standards to reduce its production energy consumption and west.
Solvents used for production are recovered and recycled in the production process. Moreover, our products are stable and do not release any substance harmful to the environment.
