Multifunctional insulation materials

In light of the increasing performance, safety and environmental compliance requirements imposed by defence standards, the Fiberban™ process represents a major innovation in the field of multifunctional insulation materials. Developed from the recycling of non-hazardous waste, this patented technology produces a natural, fire-resistant, thermal and acoustic insulator that meets the sustainability and reliability criteria required for modern military applications.

Defence standards

Fiberban™ material meets the main defence standards and benchmarks, particularly in terms of fire resistance (ISO 1182, ISO 1716, EN 13501-1), environmental compatibility (REACH, RoHS), as well as directives related to personnel safety and non-toxicity of components. Its stable fibrous structure ensures excellent thermal inertia, high sound absorption and mechanical resilience compatible with the extreme stresses of operational environments.

Energy transition

In addition, the Fiberban™ process contributes to the energy transition and eco-design objectives set by sustainable defence policy by reducing dependence on high-carbon materials and promoting the circular economy.

Thanks to its technical robustness, safety in use and compatibility with NATO standards (STANAG) relating to thermal resistance, fire resistance and smoke toxicity, Fiberban™ is establishing itself as a strategic solution for the insulation needs of the defence sector, combining operational performance, regulatory compliance and environmental responsibility.

Potential turnover in the defence sector

The global market for insulation used in defence, including infrastructure, military vehicles, electronic systems, technical textiles and civil engineering applications, is estimated to be worth US$10.7 billion in 2025.

This market is fuelled by the continued growth in demand for fireproof, thermal and acoustic materials, which are essential for modernising armies and securing operational environments.

In this context,

Fiberban™ stands out as a disruptive solution.

Produced using a patented process for recycling non-hazardous waste, this material combines fireproof, insulating and ecological properties, while maintaining a structural lightness and thermal stability superior to conventional insulators. These characteristics make it a high value-added product that meets the regulatory and environmental requirements of players in the defence sector.

By targeting 2% of the global defence insulation market, Fiberban™ could achieve potential sales of USD 214 million.

This result is based on the following combination:

  • licensing the Fiberban™ process to manufacturers specialising in protective and insulation materials
  • direct supply of solutions tailored to military infrastructure, armoured vehicles and technical textiles
  • and integration of the material into defence innovation programmes aimed at replacing synthetic or hazardous insulation materials (such as asbestos or halogenated polymers)

This 2% scenario is realistic given the potential for standardisation of the material in several value chains: modular infrastructure, on-board equipment, protective clothing, insulating components and technical seals.

In the long term, the extension of the Fiberban™ process to other fields (aeronautics, space, civil engineering, pipelines, etc.) could double or triple this potential, positioning the technology as a major player in sustainable and strategic insulation worldwide

Main properties

  • arrow_rightNatural and environmentally friendly
    Made from recycled non-hazardous waste, Fiberban™ helps to reduce the carbon footprint while recycling previously unused materials.
  • arrow_rightFireproof
    Effectively resists heat and fire, ensuring greater safety in buildings.
  • arrow_rightThermal
    Limits energy loss by providing excellent thermal insulation in both winter and summer.
  • arrow_rightSoundproofing
    Reduces noise pollution, improving the acoustic comfort of interior spaces.
  • arrow_rightNon-toxic and durable
    Unlike asbestos, Fiberban™ is harmless to human health and has a long service life.

Application Areas

  • arrow_rightMilitary infrastructure and logistics

    Fiberban™ can be used for insulation and protection in:

    • Modular shelters, deployable command posts and temporary infrastructure in operational areas
    • Fixed logistics facilities (forward bases, depots, workshops) where thermal and acoustic regulation is essential for personnel comfort and equipment protection
    • Hangars and storage areas for ammunition, fuel or sensitive equipment, requiring non-flammable and stable materials

    The combination of its thermal performance and fire-retardant properties provides enhanced protection against the risks of overheating, fire spread or accidental explosion

  • arrow_rightLand, naval and air vehicles

    Thanks to its lightness and strength, Fiberban™ can be integrated into various types of mobile platforms:

    • Internal armouring of land vehicles (tanks, lorries, logistics transporters) to reduce the thermal and acoustic signature of compartments
    • Engine compartments and fuel tanks, where thermal insulation and fire resistance are crucial for personnel safety
    • Aircraft and naval hulls, for improved sound and thermal insulation without significantly adding to weight
    • Brake pads, where thermal stability and friction resistance improve the durability of mechanical systems

    These applications contribute to acoustic discretion, thermal protection of on-board systems and crew safety

  • arrow_rightSensitive equipment and electronic systems

    Fiberban™'s structural stability and vibration damping properties make it suitable for protecting critical equipment:

    • Containment systems for servers, sensors, radar systems and on-board electronic devices
    • Passive cooling modules in IT or command equipment containers
    • Additional electromechanical insulation for communication or guidance equipment sensitive to thermal and acoustic interferenceadding to weight
