SINGAPORE and MUNICH, Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Niber Technologies unveils NUSPUN®, a next-generation ingredient brand of laminates for the performance apparel industry. Rooted in Niber’s electrospun nanofiber technology, NUSPUN laminates enable a new category of Active Comfort.
Weather shouldn’t dictate comfort
As PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) regulations tighten, brands need alternatives, yet most PFAS-free options still trade water protection against breathability. NUSPUN® laminates are built to resolve that.
Electrospinning is the innovation behind NUSPUN®
Every NUSPUN® laminate starts with an electrospun 3D nanofiber web, built fiber by fiber, not cast or stretched like conventional membranes. The structure lets moisture escape while keeping water out, and gives Niber direct control over performance. Niber membranes are manufactured without intentionally added PFAS materials.
Owning the spin, at commercial scale
Electrospinning technology isn’t new, but scaling it beyond the lab has challenged the industry. Niber’s proprietary platform controls every critical stage in-house, from formulation to finished laminate, so each product can be tuned for its own balance of breathability, water protection and windproofness.
“When we say we own the spin, we mean that we control every stage of the process, from formulation through electrospinning to the finished laminate, working closely with our partners along the way. That control is what gives us the precision to tune performance around how a brand wants its apparel to perform – and ultimately how it wants its apparel to feel,” says Jaehyung Park, Co-Founder, Niber Technologies.
From behind-the-scenes technology to ingredient brand
“We started Niber with the belief that electrospinning could do more for performance materials than anyone had proven yet. When we began, the technology was still niche in textiles, and scaling it was almost an uncharted territory for the whole industry. For years, we proved it quietly as an OEM manufacturer, supplying membranes without brands or consumers ever knowing our name was behind them. NUSPUN® is us stepping out of that role, so brands and consumers can finally see and trust exactly what’s inside their apparel,” explains Jaemin Park, Co-Founder, Niber Technologies.
NUSPUN® launches with three platforms:
- Arcus – Protection for the Extremes. Ultra-breathable and waterproof beyond 10,000 mmH₂O, for heavy rain and severe weather.
- Ventus – Protection in Motion. Ultra-breathable, windproof and water resistant, for skiing to trail running in the wet.
- Stratos – Airflow for High Output. Air permeability above 1 CFM with water resistance, for cycling, running and other high-intensity sports.
Together, they let brands build Active Comfort into apparel from trail-running jackets to cycling shells. Lighter, more stretchable laminates and bio-based, lower-carbon polymers are next.
“What excites us most is how far our materials can still be pushed. We see opportunities to make laminates lighter, stretch further and become even more comfortable while maintaining the performance brands need. That opens the door to applications built specifically for sustained, high-output activity,” says Dr. Richard Beck, President & Chief Strategy Officer at Niber Technologies.
The NUSPUN® laminate collection will be available to selected brand partners beginning Q4’2026. The first products are expected in Fall/Winter’2027 outerwear collections.
