Spray-On Fabric

Spray-On Fabric is an instant fabric dispensed from an aerosol or spray gun. It forms a non-woven material as soon as it comes into contact with a solid surface, including human skin. Spray-On Fabric was invented as the result of examining ways in which existing aerosol based products might be imaginatively reconfigured. The original inspiration being to create a new, seamless fabric for use in the fashion industry, we can now create an instant dress or t-shirt in the colour of your choice from an aerosol.

Further development has been inspired by exciting innovations in material science as diverse as "smart" fabrics and spray-on skin used by the medical and cosmetic industry. As a practical product, Spray-On Fabric offers possibilities for binding, lining, repairing, layering, covering and moulding in ways previously unimaginable. Spray-on Fabric is being developed as a multi-functional product which is simple and easy to use. The possible applications are limited only by the imagination of the designer or wearer.
