Technical and robust : high-performance yarns for sports and the outdoors
The sports and outdoors sector refers to all indoor and outdoor sporting activities for which textile applications are as wide-ranging as the activities themselves! Textiles can be at the heart of the sport (sails for boats, tent fabrics, etc.) or be a key element of the equipment (fencing mats, protective nets, etc.). Whatever the field, Sofila provides a targeted and precise response to a functional or safety need.
There are numerous applications, all within Sofila’s area of expertise, and we can highlight the most common: ropes and cordage, outdoor fabrics, particularly for tents, lightweight fabrics for parachuting or paragliding, and finally highly resistant fabrics for boat sails.
SOFILA, decades of expertise in durable outdoor and sports equipment
Boat sails
High-strength thread, from high-tenacity polyamides to aramids, for sewing threads, or even for canvas for high-performance uses.
Parachutes fabrics and straps
Fabrics and straps for parachutes and paragliders, generally made of high-tenacity thread, but keeping them as light as possible.
Ropes (boat, mountaineering, industrial use, etc.)
The requirements for ropes vary according to the application: Sofila knows how to support its customers according to their needs. Threads for nets (safety, fishing, ball sports, etc.) will be based mainly on resistance characteristics (traction, UV, weather, etc.), while mountaineering or work-at-height ropes will require a specific elongation capacity. In all cases, our experts know how to identify and work with the right compositions.
Tent canvas
Fine, resistant threads to provide lightness and comfort, while guaranteeing resistance over time, to then offer high-performance fabrics to users.
