Oil & Gas Protection AFT has a proven track record delivering auxetic solutions to major oil and gas operators (Shell, GE Oil & Gas, BP, Chevron, Total). The Xtegra fabric family provides high-strength, energy-absorbing protection for offshore rigs, high pressure manifolds, industrial test bays and other high-value equipment. This positions the company to upsell tailored protective textiles or integrated protection systems to oil and gas producers, EPCs and rig owners, with opportunities for pilot programs and field trials.

Blast Security AFT already targets blast containment and security applications with products like Blast Curtain and high-traction fabrics used in security fencing and blast containment. The market includes critical infrastructure operators, government contractors and defense suppliers. Sales opportunities include modular blast curtains, retrofit solutions for existing fencing, and partnerships with systems integrators and defense contractors for integrated protective textiles.

Medical Applications Beyond industrial protection, AFT is developing medical textiles for compression therapy, wound care, waistbands and bra straps. This opens opportunities with medical device manufacturers, healthcare providers and apparel brands seeking fabrics with enhanced strength and comfortable fit. Potential sales paths include co development, regulatory ready prototypes and niche consumer or clinical products leveraging auxetic properties.

End-to-End Solutions AFT provides end-to-end product development from requirement capture through modeling, prototyping, testing and full scale production. This enables OEMs to outsource design and validation of customized auxetic materials, reducing time to market and R&D risk. Potential sales angles include bundled turnkey protective textile solutions for verticals such as industrial safety, medical and security.

Its specialized fabrics meet rugged protection needs, creating opportunities for pilot deployments with offshore, industrial and security customers, and for channel partnerships to scale production.
