ProShell™ Nylon

Monolithic Nylon Technology for Demanding Outdoor Use

ProShell™ Nylon Series

ProShell™ Nylon uses a continuous, non-porous hydrophilic membrane that blocks external liquid water while transferring internally generated moisture vapor through molecular diffusion.

Its soft and flexible structure moves naturally with the garment, while Nylon textile layers provide the mechanical performance required for repeated movement, abrasion, and equipment contact.

The result is a durable waterproof-breathable laminate designed for technical outerwear used in demanding terrain.

Core Advantages

High Abrasion Resistance Nylon face textiles provide durable protection for garments exposed to rocks, backpacks, climbing equipment, and repeated mechanical contact.
High Strength-to-Weight Strong Nylon textile structures help deliver durable protection without unnecessary material bulk.
Soft & Flexible Hand The monolithic membrane provides a smooth, quiet, and flexible material response for unrestricted outdoor movement.
High Moisture-Vapor Transfer Hydrophilic molecular diffusion transfers moisture vapor through the non-porous membrane while maintaining the waterproof barrier.
Nylon-Compatible Construction Nylon membrane and textile components can be selected around a Nylon-family material architecture to reduce mixed-polymer complexity.

Nylon-Family Circular Design

ProShell™ Nylon can be developed using Nylon-oriented material layers:

Face Fabric Nylon woven / Ripstop / lightweight high-strength Nylon
Functional Membrane Monolithic hydrophilic Nylon-based membrane
Backing Nylon knit / tricot / lightweight backing

Keeping the principal laminate layers within the Nylon or polyamide family can simplify material identification and reduce incompatible polymer combinations.

For verified circular-product claims, the complete construction—including adhesive, finishes, printing, seam tape, and garment accessories—should be evaluated against the intended recovery process.

FAQ

ProShell™ Nylon is a waterproof and moisture-vapor-permeable technical laminate that combines Nylon textile layers with a soft monolithic hydrophilic membrane for demanding outdoor apparel.

The non-porous membrane uses hydrophilic molecular diffusion to absorb and transfer moisture vapor through the material while helping prevent external liquid water from penetrating inward.

Nylon textiles offer a strong combination of tensile strength, abrasion resistance, flexibility, and low weight, making them suitable for climbing, skiing, trekking, and other garments exposed to repeated mechanical stress.

ProShell™ Nylon can be engineered around a Nylon-family material architecture using compatible face, membrane, and backing materials. Actual mono-material or recyclability claims depend on the exact polymer grades, adhesive chemistry, finishes, accessories, and intended recycling process.

ProShell™ Nylon emphasizes abrasion resistance and strength-to-weight performance for rugged technical use.

ProShell™ TPEE emphasizes soft, flexible moisture management within a polyester-compatible system, while ProShell™ PP focuses on lightweight microporous breathability and Mono-PP material design.
