Numat Technologies Inc. and Milliken & Company have announced a strategic supply relationship to develop next-generation protective fabric solutions for defense, first responder and industrial customers. The integration of Milliken’s advanced textiles with Numat’s Sentinel® metal-organic framework (MOF) technology platform will create functional, reactive and self-decontaminating fabrics that enhance protection, breathability and comfort in extreme environments.
“Our work with Numat is about bold innovation and real-world impact,” says Halsey Cook, president and CEO at Milliken. “Together, we are setting a new standard in protection – delivering textile solutions that not only help safeguard lives but redefine what’s possible in our industry.”
These MOF-enabled textile solutions are non-PFAS and will be manufactured in the U.S. Key customers for this innovative chemical protection solution platform include chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense professionals and first responders seeking non-PFAS alternatives to legacy protective technologies.
“This partnership represents a generational leap forward in protective fabrics and suits,” says Ben Hernandez, CEO of Numat Technologies. “By combining Numat’s highly advanced MOF technology platform with Milliken’s textile technology and scale, we’re delivering sustainable, high-performance solutions that protect those who protect us.”
Future product development will include cutting-edge signature management and enhanced concealment textile technologies, integrating CBRN defense with adaptive battlefield camouflage performance.
“We’re not just supplying advanced materials—we’re driving American innovation to shape the future of protective textiles,” says Marcio Manique, senior vice president and managing director for Milliken’s apparel business. “Partnering with Numat strengthens our leadership in core markets as we expand CBRN solutions that set the standard for performance and protection.”
