“We have developed H 2tech in-house for each particular product we run,” Tantillo added, noting that keeping the process in-house generally halves the cost compared with some competitive technologies. “The design, routing, chemicals and dyes for each fabric are completely controlled from beginning to end. H 2tech is not only process and chemical, it's also the fabric construction, density, weight and opacity. The cost varies by style, and certain styles may require more chemistry.

“H2tech has been very successful so far in fabrics for law enforcement uniforms,” Tantillo said. Fabrics used in this sector include a polyester/rayon blend, of which Swift Galey is the only domestic producer, and polyester/cotton blends. Other appropriate uniform applications include food services, retail workwear, military and other government uniforms.

H2tech also can be offered through the company's Sportswear Division. Tantillo mentioned in particular golf slacks and activewear offered by brands that seek more technical high performance. The company is starting to apply the technology to various products other than polyester/rayon and polyester/cotton — including 100-percent cotton, cotton/nylon blends, and constructions such as corduroy.
