Carbitex Inc. (Kennewick, Wash., U.S.) is collaborating with Hypetex Coloured Advanced Materials (Hypetex CAM, London, U.K.) to introduce colored Carbitex materials, now available for production products.

Debuting with Carbitex Omniflex carbon fiber textiles, the lightweight and highly durable material comes in a range of eight distinctive colors: Enzo Twill, Oak Twill, Malabar Twill, Bolt Twill, Spa Twill, Tendulkar Twill, Zidane Twill and Titanium Twill. This collaboration marks the first time Carbitex technology is available in colors beyond traditional black, opening new design opportunities across multiple industries.

The colored Omniflex maintains all the performance characteristics that define this technology: zero-stretch construction that provides the power transfer of a rigid material while preserving the flexibility of a soft material. 

According to Junus Khan, founder and president of Carbitex, while the company has explored colorization in the past, its core expertise lies in engineering flexibility. By working with Hypetex CAM, Carbitex focuses on evolving its technology while integrating high-quality color solutions. 

The Hypetex CAM-colored Omniflex materials are available now and will integrate into products in sport and lifestyle segments. The first products will debut in the travel and accessory categories in the coming season.
