Carbtex will not wear off or lose its flame retardant (FR) qualities through the life of the garment.
The garments would be ideal as undergarments or overalls for Defence particularly with their exposure to explosions and fires etc.
The article is quite large and can be reduced to a smaller size if you are restricted with space.
Carbtex technology combines the best properties of carbon fibres with the flexibility, elasticity and process ability of traditional textile fibres.
The result is superior FR with outstanding comfort, durability, Mechanical Flash and
Electrical Arc Flash protection.
Carbtex fabrics are inherently FR and remain FR for the life of the garment.
Carbtex Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) safety garments offer the best lightweight protection against Electric Plasma Arc which is the new major safety emphasis of the OSHA (Occupational Safety Health Association).
Up until now there's been very little lightweight PPE which meets the severe challenge of this very hot and aggressive life threatening hazard, Electric Plasma Arc Flash.
