Data sheets

The materials, one by one

For each material we indicate the processes in which we use it most often. For materials not listed, ask us for a trial.

Adhesive materials

Adhesive tapes and substrates that we slit to the required width.

Coated materials

Textile substrates covered with a layer of resin (coating) on the surface. We process them into collars, piping and with the contract cutting service.

Learn more
Cordura®

A technical fabric known for its abrasion resistance, used in technical footwear, boots and accessories. It is among the materials we slit and process into components.

Learn more
Fleece

A soft, warm fabric that we cut into strips for garments and accessories.

Learn more
Foams

Foam materials used as padding and reinforcement; we slit them and cut them into custom pieces, also from large rolls.

Learn more
Hook-and-loop

Hook-and-loop fastening that we cut into strips and custom pieces for footwear, garments and braces.

Learn more
Lycra® and elastic fabrics

Stretch fabrics that we slit for garments and accessories.

Learn more
Mesh

A light, breathable net fabric, typical of sports footwear.

Learn more
PFAS-free water-repellent finish

A treatment that makes the material water-repellent without using per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Available on piping made with the materials stated in the quotation.

Learn more
Reflective materials

They reflect light and increase visibility in the dark: we use them for reflective piping and cut them into strips.

Learn more
Screen-printing paper and plastic films

Non-textile substrates that we cut into reels and strips for our customers’ processes.

Learn more
Technical fabrics

Fabrics designed for specific performance – abrasion resistance, breathability, lightness. Cordura® is one of them. We use them for collars, piping, straps, tubulars and in roll slitting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about materials

Can’t find the answer? Write to us or call +39 0423 81554.

What is a technical fabric?

It is a fabric designed for a specific function: abrasion resistance, elasticity, breathability, waterproofing or visibility. In footwear and technical apparel it is used for uppers, collars, reinforcements and piping. Aravec cuts it and turns it into custom components.

What is a coated fabric?

It is a fabric covered on one side with a layer of resin or polymer, which makes it more resistant, water-repellent or easy to clean. Aravec processes coated materials for footwear, apparel and accessory components.

Do you also process reflective fabrics?

Yes. We process reflective materials for piping, straps and other components that must be visible in the dark, for example on motorcycle boots, technical apparel and pet accessories.

Can I supply the material myself?

Yes. We can process material supplied by the customer or start from our basic range. In both cases sampling is carried out before production.

Which materials do you slit?

We slit technical fabrics such as Cordura®, foams, reflective materials, Lycra®, hook-and-loop, films and other roll materials, from 5 mm width.
