CGear Sand Free Technology

Continual research and development by the CGear Sand-Free team has seen the production of products for use by the military and the outdoor/recreational markets. These two divisions of CGear Sand-Free are internationally recognized innovators in these specialized fields and markets.

The military products CGear Sand-Free has developed focus on providing solutions to sand and dust abatement for helicopters when landing and taking off. The CGear Sand-Free patented Tactical Helimat is a light weight transportable Helipad that solves the problem of sand and dust abatement, known as Brown out.

It also reduces ingestion of sand and dust, is lightweight, compact and rapidly deployable, impervious to aviation fuels and oil spills and flame resistant.
