TIBEKA PROTECTIONS

3D TECHNICAL TEXTILES

AGAINST IMPACTS

OUR EXPERTISE IN MULTILAYER 3D WEAVING

Patented 3D fabric against impacts

Stab protection

The binding threads of our multilayer 3D fabrics generate strong mechanical friction, providing enhanced protection against blade penetration.

Ballistic protection

The multilayer 3D structure of our textiles optimizes fiber stress upon impact, ensuring effective energy dispersion that significantly reduces trauma.

Fragmentation protection

The volumetric structure of our 3D fabrics guarantees increased capture and maximum retention of fragments generated during an explosion (shells, drones, warheads).

PATENTED 3D WEAVING: A DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION

Properties & performances previously incompatible

EXTREME IMPACT RESISTANCE

Up to 93% energy absorbed

Regardless of the origin of the shock, our patented 3D fabrics offer a superior energy absorption capacity. Thanks to an optimized three-dimensional structure and density, our weaving technology engages a greater number of fibers during impact. The dispersion of energy is significantly more effective than with a classic 2D fabric or a unidirectional (UD) material, thus drastically reducing the risk of trauma.

Woven from high-strength fibers — such as aramid (Kevlar®, Twaron®), UHMWPE, basalt and soon ceramiccéramique, our protective textiles combine lightness, formability, and extreme resistance.

Our multi-layer fabrics adapt to the demands of the most advanced sectors: Defense & Security (personal protective equipment, bulletproof), Aerospace & Space, Extreme Sports & Protective Equipment.

BI-DIRECTIONAL FLEXIBILITY

A unique flexibility

Our multi-layer 3D weaving technologytissage 3D multi-couches gives our fabrics exceptional bidirectional flexibility (simultaneously on the X and Y axes). Unlike traditional 2D fabrics or unidirectional (UD) materials that only adapt to a single curvature at a time, our 3D fabrics deform across multiple planes without forming wrinkles.

This mechanical property offers excellent conformability, ideal for integrating textile reinforcements on complex shapes:

  • Perfect fit to human morphology: conforms to the complex curves of the body for optimal freedom of movement.

  • Increased comfort and agility: reduces the overall stiffness of protective equipment without compromising safety.

  • Facilitated implementation: perfect for designing complex composite parts or ergonomic equipment.

FORMABLE WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF PERFORMANCE

Perfect formability without loss of performance

Our multi-layer 3D fabrics, flexible and formable, can be adjusted by folding, forming, or draping to perfectly conform to all material or morphological shapes, from the simplest to the most complex.

Even on sharp curves, its technical performances, especially on impact, remain intact, ensuring optimal protection.

Designed from high-performance fibers such as Kevlar®, Twaron®, these ballistic fabrics and impact protection fabrics combine exceptional lightness, strength, and flexibility.

THE GREAT COLD, THE STRONG HEAT

Extreme thermal stability

Unlike unidirectional (UD) materials, our 3D fabric is designed without any resin. This purely textile design gives it exceptional thermal stability: no loss of mechanical performance between -40 °C and +80 °C (for the aramid version)

The advantages of our resin-free structure:

  • Invariability of properties: complete preservation of impact absorption and protection capabilities, even in extreme weather conditions (polar cold or intense heat).

  • Absence of degradation: no risk of softening at high temperatures or embrittlement due to freezing.

  • Enhanced reliability: a predictable and consistent mechanical behavior for strategic equipment exposed to harsh environments.

PERFECT FOR COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENT

Reduction of delamination by 5

Our high-performance 3D fabrics are used as reinforcements in composite materials for aerospace, automotive, and construction. These innovative three-dimensional structured fabrics offer a excellent mechanical strength while contributing to the lightweighting of parts. Thanks to their unique architecture, they also serve as spacers and technical connectors, while maintaining their shape and volume. 

True cutting-edge solutions, our flexible and formable fabrics provide both strength, lightness, and durability for the most demanding applications.

100% TEXTILE, 0% RESIN

100% recyclable and defibrable

Our 3D weaving and its formability require no additives or heat. Our multi-layer 3D fabrics are therefore made of 100% fiber, without any resin, making them fully recyclable and defibrable.

As a French manufacturer of 3D fabrics for impact and ballistic protection, we offer flexible and formable solutions that combine performance, durability, and environmental respect. Thanks to this design, our 3D fabrics can be reused or transformed for new applications, contributing to a more responsible textile industry.
