TenCate fabric tested for firefighter apparel

12/07/2010

TenCate Protective Fabrics has revealed that its Defender M fabric used for the US military is now being evaluated for use in firefighter garments. Engineered with inherently flame-resistant properties that will not wash or wear out, the company plans to use it as a thermal liner for firefighter turnout gear.

Defender M is a tri-blend fabric comprising 65% Lenzing FR Rayon, 25% para-aramid and 10% nylon.

“Because TenCate Defender M was designed for the military, it also has excellent resistance to wear, tear and fading,” says Elliad Granger, marketing manager at TenCate Protective Fabrics. “This ensures a longer life and greater value for firefighters’ turnout gear as well.”
