Mon, 06/30/2025 - 14:23 -- debhaartz

The Haartz Corporation, a global leader in highly engineered textile materials, has announced the launch of four new products in its ProTact by Haartz® line. These additions are designed to meet specific performance needs across military, law enforcement and commercial tactical gear applications.

Each new product is engineered to address specific performance needs, including improved durability, reduced weight, enhanced grip, waterproofing and added comfort where it counts.

 

 

 

 

         

ProTact AIR is a lightweight, laser-cuttable fabric laminate that provides reinforcement without added bulk. At just 0.75mm thick and 12.8 oz/yd², it delivers tensile and tear strength while reducing stiffness. AIR supports greater wearer mobility and comfort, making it well suited for applications where strength and flexibility must coexist.

      

ProTact GRIP introduces non-slip functionality through a proprietary thermoplastic coating on Cordura® nylon. The material maintains grip in both wet and dry conditions and is ideal for rifle stock pads, shoulder straps, lumbar supports and cummerbund belts. GRIP is both laser-cuttable and weldable, offering improved control and equipment retention during high-stress use.

 

ProTact SEAL is a waterproof fabric laminate that enables CORDURA® nylon reinforcements to be welded without stitching. Compatible with heat, RF and ultrasonic welding methods, SEAL supports watertight construction while reducing labor and eliminating stitch holes. It is particularly valuable for waterproof bags and gear where traditional seams are not feasible.

 

ProTact SOFT is a specialty laminate that combines a durable CORDURA® nylon face with a soft, compressible foam backing. Designed to increase comfort and reduce pressure points, it is suitable for belts, shoulder straps, laptop sleeves and similar applications requiring both protection and ergonomic performance. SOFT offers cushioning without sacrificing ruggedness.

The full ProTact line is Berry Amendment compliant and engineered for use in tactical gear, bags, vests and specialty equipment. All ProTact products, including the new additions, are available in standard colors and all MultiCam® patterns. PFAS-free finish options are also available.
