Italian material innovation takes center stage at the Functional Fabric Fair, where BeLeaf, a next-generation thermoregulating membrane by BeDimensional, showcases a breakthrough in textile performance. Developed in collaboration with Windtex Vagotex, this new technology integrates two-dimensional boron nitride (h-BN) to enhance heat management, strength, and sustainability in technical fabrics.
Setting a New Standard in Functional Materials
The Functional Fabric Fair is the leading North American platform for high-performance materials, bringing together designers, material developers, and sustainability experts. In this setting, BeLeaf stands out for its ability to regulate temperature effectively while maintaining exceptional mechanical resistance and long-term durability.
Independent lab tests confirm that BeLeaf membranes significantly improve heat transfer and comfort. Compared to traditional membranes, BeLeaf demonstrates:
-
Superior thermal conductivity and diffusivity
-
A cooler touch and faster heat dissipation
-
Improved durability under extreme conditions
These properties make it an ideal solution for technical apparel, outdoor gear, and performance footwear, where comfort and resilience are equally important.
Science Meets Sustainability
BeLeaf’s success stems from BeDimensional’s expertise in graphene and 2D crystals combined with Windtex Vagotex’s specialization in functional membranes. This partnership bridges scientific research and textile innovation, resulting in a membrane that performs efficiently while supporting sustainable manufacturing.
By introducing two-dimensional boron nitride, BeLeaf delivers superior thermal control, mechanical strength, and long-lasting wearability — setting a new benchmark for eco-conscious, performance-driven textiles.
