APPLICATION: Electric Utilities, Oil and Gas and General Heavy Industry for on-the-job protection against electric arc, flash fire, intense heat, flame and pool fire.
Polartec started developing performance flame resistant fabric technologies for the US Military in 2003 after combat uniforms began melting against the intense heat of IED detonations. This necessity to enhance safety abilities of fabrics used to protect against worksite hazards became a practical fit for industrial workwear applications.
Polartec® FR fabrics are designed to work together creating a layering system that has less bulk, better mobility, greater comfort and more breathability. Polartec® is the only brand to offer a full layering system. The Polartec® patented next-to-skin base layer fabric wicks away moisture to keep the body warm and dry. The thermal insulation layer allows for warmth and traps heat to keep the body warm. When an FR weather protection layer is added, workers are truly protected from the harshest environments. Polartec® FR fabrics offer premium protection against arc flash, flash fire and other thermal hazards and are designed for high performance as a stand-alone garment or part of a layering system.
