Aluula ships first 1.5 m ultralight composite material

Executive Summary

• Aluula Composites Inc. completed its first commercial shipment of a 1.5‑meter‑wide, 24 gsm ultra‑light non‑adhesive, no‑sew composite material to leading tent brand partners.
• The new material enables wider‑format pattern nesting, reduces waste, and is positioned for consumer‑ready tents slated for market entry in 2026–2027.
• Testing demonstrates superior crumpling durability, hydrophobic longevity, and UV resistance versus competing high‑performance tent fabrics.

Key Details

• Material Specs: 1.5 m wide, 24 gsm (grams per square metre) ultra‑light composite; non‑adhesive, no‑sew construction; recycle‑ready.
• Commercial Shipment: First shipment delivered to brand partners for prototype development and testing; anticipated consumer products in 2026–2027.
• Manufacturing Advancement: Validated new manufacturing method allowing wider‑width production, increasing overall capacity and enabling more efficient pattern nesting.
• Performance Claims:
• Up to four times greater bias strength than comparable fabrics (e.g., X24).
• Maintains performance after thousands of crumpling cycles using GELBO tester.
• Sustained waterproofing with low porosity under extensive use simulations.
• UV resilience confirmed by 500 hours of ASTM G154 accelerated weathering testing, showing significantly lower degradation than adhesive‑based competitors.
• Future Product Roadmap: Additional formats planned – 1.5 m × 24 gsm and a higher‑weight 34 gsm version to broaden application range.
• CEO Quote: “This milestone reflects Aluula's innovative research and our close collaboration with leading outdoor brand partners who prioritize performance and sustainability… sets a new standard for what's possible in high performance tent fabrics.” – Sage Berryman, CEO & President.
