  • La FibreAIr®, une fibre synthétique creuse injectée d'air

    The FibreAir® : a small accident that will change history

    In France, in the 90s, a father sees his girl fall into the family pool and saves her from drowning. His name is Alain Belkadi, and he is a textile professional. He then has the idea of a swimwear that would protect children and teach them to swim.

    Years later, somewhere in Italy, engineers inject too much air into a hollow synthetic fiber intended for building thermal insulation. The fiber is unusable, but surprise: it floats! Alain Belkadi hears about it. It's all he needed to bring his idea to life.

    This is the beginning of the Plouf adventure!

  • Le maillot de bain flottant Plouf, une innovation française à l'origine de la norme européenne de sécurité

    The Floating swimsuit is born, the safety standard too!

    During two years of research and development, the fiber is worked on, transformed, and optimized. In 2000, the very first Floating swimsuit for children is born. Alain Belkadi immediately wants to have it certified.

    But surprise! No standard existed at the time to ensure the safety of this type of product. He then approaches the CRITT and works closely with them to create the specifications for the first European safety standard for flotation accessories.

    The NF EN 13138-1 standard is born, the Floating swimsuit Plouf is the first to be certified.
