Research & Development

Bradford utilizes all of its options in printing and finishing specializing in the development of new camouflage patterns for our own military services and overseas governments.

Bradford was instrumental in the development of the New Marine Marpat pattern, the new Air Force Tiger Stripe Pattern, and is currently working with the Army on their new pattern as well as assisting in the development of the new Navy pattern.

Bradford has a government certified testing lab and is also consistenly working on new finishes such as Anti Microbial, Water Repellency, Wrinkle Resistant and Flame Retardant Finishes as well as finishes to assist in the fight against Chemical and Biological Weapons. There is constant research in the improvement of the Infrared Reflectance levels of our dye stuffs.

We work in conjunction with Natick Soldier Center on many projects for our Military.

Bradford developed the original Quarpel finish with Natick as well as assisting Tex Shield in the development of the current finish on the outer shell of JList Chem Suit.

Bradford is committed to the future and to that end Research and Development are paramount in our business philosophy.
