“Leading the future of military textiles”
Reminding that ZIMMER AUSTRIA is also a pioneer in the specialized field of military textiles, Josef Osl said: “With the evolution of military operations and the increased sophistication of detection methods, the need for advanced camouflage technologies has never been more critical. Our COLARIS Digital Inkjet Printing System is a game-changer in stealth camouflage technology, enabling the production of large-scale, uninterrupted camouflage patterns essential for effective concealment.”
One of the innovative features of COLARIS is Digital IR-Reflectance Control, which allows for setting precise infrared reflection parameters for each color in a design, crucial for camouflage effectiveness from daylight to full night darkness. Another feature is Randomized Pattern Generation, which automates the creation of evolving camouflage patterns, closely mimicking natural environments to enhance stealth capabilities.
Advancing Camouflage with ROTASCREEN and MAGNOROLL
The ROTASCREEN system provides unmatched volume production of camouflage patterns, suitable for a wide range of military textiles. The MAGNOROLL system complements screen and digital printing alike by introducing advanced coating and finishing techniques that enhance the functional properties of military textiles, such as waterproofing, UV protection, thermal shielding and flame retardancy.
Josef Osl ended his words as follows: “As the landscape of both civilian and military textile applications evolves, ZIMMER AUSTRIA continues to lead the way with innovative solutions that meet the rigorous demands of modern-day challenges. Whether it’s enhancing the production capabilities of textile manufacturers or developing advanced military camouflage technologies, ZIMMER AUSTRIA remains your premier partner in textile innovation.”
