ALUULA Ships First 1.5-meter Ultra-Light Composite Material to Leading Tent Brands

Executive Summary

• ALUULA Composites announced its first commercial shipment of a 1.5‑meter‑wide, 24 gsm ultra‑light, non‑adhesive, no‑sew composite material to brand partners for prototype development.
• The new wider‑format material enables larger‑scale manufacturing, improves pattern‑nesting efficiency, and is positioned for consumer‑ready tents as early as 2026.
• Testing demonstrates superior crumpling durability, hydrophobic longevity, and UV resistance versus competing high‑performance tent fabrics.

Key Details

• Product: 1.5 m × 24 gsm (designated “ALUULA 1.5m X24”) – first commercial shipment; a 34 gsm version is slated for future release.
• Manufacturing Milestone: First commercial application of ALUULA’s validated wider‑width manufacturing method, expanding overall production capacity.
• Market Impact: Targets high‑performance ultra‑light tent segment; enables more efficient pattern‑nesting and reduces material waste.
• Performance Claims:
• Up to 4× greater bias strength than comparable fabrics, providing increased stiffness and durability.
• Maintains performance after thousands of crumpling cycles (GELBO tester).
• Retains waterproof properties with low porosity under extensive use simulations.
• Exhibits significantly lower UV degradation after 500 hours ASTM G154 accelerated weathering test.
• Timeline: Consumer‑ready tents expected to reach market in 2026–2027, pending partner prototype testing.
• CEO Quote: “This milestone reflects ALUULA’s innovative research and our close collaboration with leading outdoor brand partners who prioritize performance and sustainability…” – Sage Berryman, CEO & President.
