As a European Distributor supplying Gore-Tex for a number of years
to Conservators we have also offered Sympatex.  However the grade of
Sympatex we supplied as an alternative to Gore-Tex has also been
discontinued.

Since Gore-Tex and Sympatex are required by many Conservators we are
researching new alternative materials.  These are currently being
tested by major British institutions.  Once the tests are completed
we will again be able to offer a suitable grade of Sympatex.

Out of interest Sympatex is much less expensive than Gore-Tex.
