SERVICES
Die Cutting
Spectex has a variety of die cutting methods used for a variety of die cut materials. Die cutting methods include Rotary die cutting, Clicker cutting, Traveling Head die cutting as well as a many high speed die cutting presses.

Waterjet Cutting
Water-jet cutting is an excellent method for producing prototype and test parts or short production runs since no expensive tooling is required. Our waterjet cutting capabilities offer a fast, flexible and accurate method of cutting that includes complex or difficult parts while maintaining the integrity of the material. Spectex has the ability to waterjet cut with either ultra high pressure water or an abrasive stream allowing us to process a diverse range of materials.

Slitting/ Rewinding
Spectex's slitting capabilities allows the precision slitting of a variety of materials including felts, scrims, fabrics, foams, papers and foils (to name a few). Our modern slitting equipment assures the fastest possible turnaround times without compromising quality. Our reel to reel slitting machines can handle a wide range of roll formations including narrow web slitting.

Electro-lum Fab

Spectex is an exclusive converter and distributor of FLATLITE® Electroluminescent lamp. Electroluminescent (EL) light is described as a Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC). It is a much more efficient way of background lighting than LED (Light Emitting Diode). EL lamp has many benefits including being thin, flexible, energy efficient and cool.

Thermo Bond / Mold
Spectex produces a wide range of products that combine thermal bonding and die cutting. In some instances, numerous layers of the same material are locally adhered at selected locations prior to die cutting and in other cases, dissimilar materials are adhered together with a variety of glues and techniques prior to forming and/or die cutting. Spectex can custom Thermal form and mold a variety of thermoplastic and composite materials.

Kitting
Spectex is available to handle your sorting, kitting and packaging needs. We offer semi-automated and hand assembly for intricate work, very small roll products or specialized packaging requirements.

Skiving
Spectex uses state of the art equipment for the skiving or splitting of materials. This is the ability to take a thicker piece of material and bring it down to a specific thickness that is not readily available.

PRODUCTS
Gaskets
Spectex does not cater to any particular industry and works with a worldwide variety of gasket materials such as rubber, plastic, felt and foams just to name a few. The gaskets can be simple doughnut shapes to complex geometries with irregular cutouts and hole patterns. Gaskets can be offered with or without an adhesive on one or both surfaces and can be provided on a backing material to allow the installer to peel and place. Gaskets are cut using various tooling such as steel rule dies, high precision rotary dies and forged dies.

Engineered Nonwovens
Spectex offers a full line of engineered industrial felt products. Traditional wool felts, needled synthetic fiber felts, woven felts, specialty velvets, plushes and adhesive backed felt products are available.

Safety

Spectex manufactures a variety of custom, proprietary products that are used in the Health, Safety and Medical industry. Some of these include disposable one time or “tear away” lenses for eye protection, check valves and gaskets for respiratory equipment, a variety of filters for air cleaning and personal protection and components for thermal protection. Spectex can assist you in developing, producing and packaging products for your health, safety or medical application.

Embroidery Backings
Tearaway embroidery backings are our most economical and popular backing product. Cutaway embroidery backings provide a stable base when working with delicate, lightweight and stretchy fabrics. Cap embroidery backings are used to enhance the crispness and clarity of the design when working with low profile or unstructured caps.

Adhesive Backed Felts
Spectex offers a variety of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA). We are a sanctioned 3M converter and have access to a number of engineered products both industrial and medical. Our laminating capabilities allow us to apply these adhesive systems onto a number of substrates including, but not limited to, felts, foams, rubbers, films, foils and cork.

INNOVATIVE PROCESSES
Composite Reinforcements
Spectex personnel have worked in the composites industry for over 30 years. The specific area of expertise is in the manufacture of specialty textile fabrications including 2-D and 3-D weaving , 2-D and 3-D braiding, cutting and kitting and resin transfer molding preforms. We have worked with carbon, glass, aramid and ceramic fibers. Capabilities include textile design as well as manufacturing for a wide range of applications and products.

Flatlite

EL Lamp is made in rolls and uses aluminum foil as its main conductor. Another big benefit of FLATLITE® is its ability to be converted into various shapes and sizes. Depending on your background lighting situation, Spectex will not only help you in converting it, but can help you create your project thru our mechanical engineering and background lighting knowledge. FLATLITE® allows designers to put light where it was never before possible with an ease of fabrication not matched by any other light source in the world.

Cross-Link
Lamps are flexible and durable - can be folded within the product (shelter, pack, tent, etc.) for greatly reduced deployment time and reduced personnel usage. Large area, diffuse light source, distinct from point source lighting options; minimal casting of shadows due to large area, distributed light source. Large area lights are pleasing on the eyes, not harsh. White light quality allows for clear viewing of information - colors are easily distinguished from one another; good color rendering of illuminated objects.
