UltraSoft® FR/AR Industrial Shirt

Westex® UltraSoft® excels as a flame resistant, arc rated barrier because it combines a high-quality, durable cotton and high tenacity nylon blend with proprietary engineering that ensures flame resistance for the life of the garment. It is designed to maximise safety, comfort and wear life through a soft-feel finish, excellent abrasion resistance and double-shrunk technology, making it a preferred choice for arc flash and flash fire protection.

 

In an often unforgiving environment, electrical industry professionals demand safety when they are on the job. Yet too often, inadequate workwear leaves workers exposed to serious electric arc flash or flash fire injury. 

UltraSoft® from Westex® has been engineered to deliver the right level of protection for NFPA 70E CAT 2, without compromising on safety or comfort. UltraSoft® is renowned for offering safe and comfortable protection against electric arc and flash fire in electrical installations and industrial environments around the globe. UltraSoft® has proven flame resistance, is breathable and offers excellent wearer comfort whilst holding its size and shape.

 

UltraSoft® FR/AR fabrics are a blend of 88% cotton and 12% high tenacity nylon. The nylon fibres are intimately blended with cotton fibres in the warp yarns. These fibres are spun using ring-spinning technology to produce the highest strength fabric possible. The fabric is engineered to focus the excellent abrasion resistance of the nylon on the face of the fabric to enhance garment wear, while the cotton fibres are focused towards the skin to optimise comfort.
