Collaborative research projects

French research project approved by the TECHTERA competitive cluster whose aim is to develop textiles to protect against micro-organisms and help to fight nosocomial infections.

TDV INDUSTRIES is the coordinator of the « Professional clothing » working group.

TDV INDUSTRIES is part of a consortium of 18 European partners. The main aim of the project is to develop protective clothing, incorporating multiple protective properties and designated for rescue teams and emergency bodies under complex risky conditions met in various types of everyday emergency operations : protection against wetting and water permeation; protection against extreme environmental temperatures; protection against microbial contamination; protection against fire and associated heat; protection against UV radiation; protection against static electricity, etc.

The second aim is to guarantee the durability of these protective properties by respecting physiological comfort and mechanical resistance parameters.

TDV INDUSTRIES is part of a consortium of 12 European partners. The aim of the project is to develop innovative "passive" and "active" protective clothing to protect against the risks presented by laser beams when using hand-held laser equipment in order to minimise health risks for operators and thereby reduce the number of accidents. The main developments anticipated are the following :

• > passive, functional, multi-layer textiles providing a high level of laser resistance
• > active, functional, multi-layer textiles incorporating sensors which are capable of detecting laser exposure allowing for the automatic deactivation of the laser beam
• > the introduction of test methods and procedures allowing for the qualification of technical textiles and the development of PPE
• > contribution to the standardisation process for these PPE and for testing procedures
