dimpora AG is a Swiss materials science company based in Zürich, founded in 2019, specializing in the development and production of high-performance, sustainable textile membranes for the outdoor and performance wear industry.
Leveraging its patented CoreLayer Technology™, dimpora manufactures microporous membranes that provide waterproofing and breathability without PFAS or harmful solvents. The process allows customization using diverse polymers, including biobased (e.g., dimpora® BIO with over 60% biobased content from castor oil), recycled, or biodegradable materials, promoting circularity and recyclability.
Products such as dimpora® 3D enable seamless breathability, while innovations like collaborations with BASF integrate the membranes with TPU for stretchable, PFAS-free applications in garments. The company's solvent-free production, primarily in Switzerland with a Central European supply chain, achieves a 96% reduction in environmental footprint compared to traditional solvent-based methods, per internal life-cycle assessments.
