Engineered and manufactured by GENTEX Corporation, Lifetex® fabrics are the global choice for current and emerging personal protective products and mission needs.

GENTEX's Lifetex® fabrics — CD-2010-1, 2560-4 and 3030-1 — provide unparalleled protection against chemical, biological and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Research, development and manufacture of these superior technical textiles for chemical and biological protection began over 25 years ago and further accelerated as evolving U.S. military personnel needs were identified during the first Persian Gulf War.

Several U.S. military research and design contracts perpetuated the enhancement of the fabric's protection level and applications over the years. Of late, known and anticipated health- and life-threats are driving militaries and government, law enforcement and other disaster/emergency response agencies throughout the world to increase protection for the personnel whose missions are so critical to our safety at home, work, travel and play.

Their escalated efforts are evident in the numerous contract awards for Lifetex® Personal Protective Equipment - most recently, in 2003 by the U.S. Air Force for the CWU-66/P aircrew chemical protective coverall.

These unrelenting demands for high-quality, field-tested personnel protective equipment are at the core of what drives GENTEX to offer Lifetex® products, including military chemical/biological defense overgarments, Rampart® apparel and the Casualty Care System (CCS®)/Patient Isolation Unit.
