The FibreAir®: a small accident that will change history
Learn moreIn France, in the 90s, a father sees his girl falling into the family swimming pool and saves her from drowning. His name is Alain Belkadi, he is a textile professional. He then the idea of a swimwear bath that would protect children and teach them to swim.
Years later, somewhere in Italy, engineers injected too much air into a hollow synthetic fiber intended for thermal insulation of buildings. The fiber is unusable, but surprise: it floats! Alain Belkadi hears about it. That’s all he needed to bring his idea to life.
This is the start of the adventure Plouf !

The Floating swimsuit was born, so was the safety standard!
Learn moreDuring two years of research and development, the fiber is worked, transformed and optimized. In 2000, the very first Floating swimsuit for children sees the light of day. Alain Belkadi immediately wants to have it certified.
But surprise! No standards existed at the time to guarantee the safety of this type of product. He will therefore approach CRITT and work closely with them to create the specifications for the first European safety standard for flotation accessories.
The NF EN 13138-1 standard was born, the Floating swimsuit Plouf is the first to be certified.
