Performance Is In The Process
VESTEX® Protects
Adding VESTEX® to your products gives you full access to our team of professionals who ensure your success, from initial product assessment all the way through sales and marketing. Our four-tiered process is key to developing your product goals and going to market with revolutionary new active-barrier protection for consumers.
1 Product Assessment
Develop product goals, performance requirements, and specifications.
Fabric Selection
- VESTEX® can be applied to a variety of natural, synthetic and blended fibers
- VESTEX® Team guides you through selection based on our knowledge of applications, formulation, and testing methods
Lab-Scale Prototyping
Prior to incurring the costs of full-scale production, VESTEX® application formulas and calculations are applied to a prototype to ensure optimal performance results
2 Performance Validation
Utilizing proprietary FDA-accepted testing methods, your product will meet the high standards of protection, safety, and comfort required to carry the VESTEX® brand.
Certified VESTEX® Application Partner
Scalable and flexible, we can align your needs with our network of Certified Application Partners or train and integrate a qualified facility of your choice into our Partner network
VESTEX® Testing
Our proprietary testing methods have been accepted by the FDA to simulate real-world, worst-case scenarios, and levels of microbial and fluid exposure to meet your performance needs, surpassing standard fabric testing such as AATCC100 or ASTM E2149, which do not replicate real-world hazards experienced by wearers

The VESTEX® Team works to assist you in establishing quality control testing and support. All VESTEX® validated products must have an ISO Quality System in place to assure predictable outcomes of your production process
