4 in 1: the winning formula without compromise
“Imagine a material where performance, comfort, durability and aesthetics create unparalleled synergies,” explain JV Internationational. In NexX4™, lightness, durability and endless customization possibilities are the main features that make this translucent liquid polymer technology truly unparalleled.”
More specifically, the ability to maintain performance at all times over a very wide range of temperatures, from -40° to +40°, make this product versatile and suitable for every context of use, from footwear to gloves, but not only. Being born as transparent also makes NexX4™ the perfect material for brand partners who can see all their needs met in terms of aesthetics, colors, texture and design.
NexX4™ changes the rules of the game
From snowboarding to indoor sports to work&uniform. The benefits of NexX4™ defy boundaries and categories.
