- electric utilities.
We are pro-actively supported by our select group of fabric manufacturers
which in turn allows us to confidently seek out and establish customer
relationships within a network of product focused participants.
Our FR safety work wear range is designed and manufactured to cope with the
extreme conditions experienced in the select industries, where intense heat,
molten metal splash and risk of ignition occur. Our products comply with
international standards for heat and fire resistant clothing, having been
extensively tested under laboratory and in workplace conditions.

the secret behind Emphatex® technology is a proprietary formula of super
hydrophilic polymer modifiers that creates a stronger than normal osmotic
pressure gradient. This actually attracts water vapour molecules to the coating,
wicks them across the membrane by molecular action and passes them through to
the exterior, visually akin to how water moves up a towel when dipped in water |

three layer construction - tightly knitted layers assist in diffusing flame
immediately, allowing the garment to resist intense heat and molten metal to
temperatures of 1400°C - in such extreme conditions the garment will not melt
and affix itself to the wearer's body |
