WHY SPECIFY A FABRIC BRAND?
Many companies are selling FR garments today without disclosing the FR fabric manufacturer. Literally dozens
of imitation "88/12" FR fabrics have emerged in the marketplace recently, and they are NOT "EQUAL." Critical
performance characteristics like arc rating, comfort, shrinkage control, garment wear life, FR durability to laundering,
compliance to national and international standards, and more are primarily dependent on the BRAND of flame resistant
FABRIC used to make the garment. Only Westex UltraSoft
®
, the #1 FR fabric brand in the world, delivers all
of these benefits on a consistent basis — backed with decades of market-proven performance.
