The Specialty Group

Company Description

EMPHATEX fabrics that do not compromise on performance or comfort.
The Specialty Group dream was to create a high-performance, waterproof, breathable textile that was the envy of all others. . .
EMPHATEX is the realisation of that dream. It's a state-of-the-art performance textile that is all about maximising enjoyment and comfort from outdoor activities in any kind of weather.
We have applied science to advance the current technology to create the first super hydrophilic proprietary formula. This advanced scientific technology demonstrates double-digit improvements over the performance of most WPB (waterproof, breathable) laminates and coatings. Science like this allows outer-wear manufacturers to produce technical apparel for even the toughest conditions.
The secret behind Emphatex technology is a proprietary formula of super hydrophilic polymer modifiers that creates a stronger-than-normal osmotic pressure gradient. This actually attracts water vapour molecules to the coating, wicks them across the membrane by molecular action, and passes them through to the exterior visually akin to how water movers up a towel when dipped in water.
Using the latest lamination technology. The Speciality Group can engineer protective wear solutions in Emphatex to meet even the most exacting requirements. Choosing from a wide range of hydrophilic and microporous breathable film systems, we can laminate onto most woven, non-woven or knitted fabric combinations. The options are only limited by your imagination
