Tarpaulin fabric was developed for the Swiss Army

PLANOFIL® is a product by the Swiss textile specialist Cilander. The company, with a tradition of more than two hundred years in textile finishing, has extensive experience in the field of high-tech coatings for technical textiles. Worldwide, numerous airlines, railroad and bus companies use Cilander cover fabrics coated for their seats.

PLANOFIL® was originally developed as a tarpaulin material for the Swiss Army. Its exceptional durability and lightness quickly made the fabric attractive for a wide variety of recreational uses, especially boat tarpaulins and persennings.
