Gardening range (city garden) joins to the professional sector.
The TECHTEXTILES division concerns different applications:
- Industry – nets for technical use. Main application of the net is in the production of plates made by technical fabrics in more layers.
- Building – nets for the protection and safety of the building site: scaffolding delimitation nets, security nets, nets for security loads and for plaster.
- The SMART TEXTILES sector includes “smart” applications of the net (events, occultation, gazebos, parking, sails) and sport.
Mission:

LABORATORY RESEARCH AND QUALITY
Arrigoni has a strong experience in the realization of protective nets installed in difficult climatic environments.
Our laboratory is equipped with the most modern measuring and testing instruments to ensure the customer receives a certified and high quality and long lasting product.
The equipment of our laboratory includes:
Accelerated Weathering Tester:
it allows to simulate the behavior of the fabrics over the years and provides precise information on the effect of UV radiations on the final product;
Climatic Chamber:
It can recreate extreme climatic conditions by controlling temperature and humidity: the range of temperatures runs from -40 ° C to +180 ° C and that one related to the relative humidity from 10% to 95%.
This allows the study of the effects of nets exposed to harsh environments;
Digital dynamometer:
It allows to perform various types of tests on the mechanical properties of fabrics and yarns;
Air permeability of fabrics:
The device measures the quantity of air that perpendicularly crosses the sample under test;
MFI METER (granule fluidity) Luxometer in the dark room (shading power)
R&D
Arrigoni, active in product and process innovation became the protagonist of a considerable amount of research projects and experimental development, identifying methods for the solution of production problems, improvement and product innovation.
