CarbonX inherently non-flammable fabrics provide exceptional heat and flame protection when

safety matters most. Our products withstand direct flame longer than traditional fire resistant/
FR fabrics, without breaking-open, igniting, and minimal charring or shrinkage. Laundering
does not affect the protective properties of our products which are comfortable to wear
providing protection against direct flame, extreme heat, welding & grinding spatter, molten
metal splash and arc flash hazards.

up, to meet the demand of police, military, fire-fighting, utilities,
petroleum, welding and molten metal foundries.

- Single layer CarbonX Double Jersey Knit
- Single layer or Double layers CarbonX Rib Knit construction,
allowing up to 200% stretch for maximum stretch and recovery

Colours - Black as standard, with Navy by order

Unlike some hood fabrics which dont hold their shape after
laundering, CarbonX has low shrinkage after laundering. The pro-
tective qualities of the knit after laundering showed no change in
flame resistance or thermal protection after 50 & 100 wash cycles.

CARBONX fabrics are produced using a blend of fibres
shown to withstand extended exposure to light & UV.
This is important for retaining both colour and physical
strength properties of the fabrics.
