What we do

Since the launch of drying systems for protective clothing and uniforms, we have remained a constant partner for the defense. Over the years, several Navy and Coast Guard ships, frigates and shore and land-based training bases have been equipped with the innovative drying systems. As the National Defense is committed to the security of the country, Pronomar maintains the integrity of clothing by ensuring optimal drying. The main goals here are to reduce absenteeism, improve comfort for PPE wearers and increase overall motivation.

An addition for bulletproof vests

Body armors are designed to protect officers’ lives, but they require regular maintenance to fulfill their purpose. Ballistic vests, often called bulletproof vests, protect officers from projectiles from firearms. This garment is therefore indispensable to wear daily, regardless of outside temperatures. However, this often causes body odor problems. Even though it can stop a bullet, it cannot be machine washed or dried as it is important that the Kevlar/aramid panels are housed inside a watertight sleeve. Immersing tightly woven fabrics in water will loosen the material, which will eventually degrade and break down. Body armors should therefore be hand washed, after which a strong but gentle drying process is recommended. Instead of letting the clothing hang and dry, our drying equipment provides a powerful flow of warm air to dry the armor from the inside out.
