FIRE SERVICE FABRIC SOLUTIONS

NFPA statistics show that the leading cause of firefighter deaths is heat stress. Recognizing this, our developers work in close company with firefighters, garment manufacturers and fiber/yarn producers to generate solutions designed to balance firefighter needs for protection from fire and heat stress.

Consoltex, utilizing smart-fabric technologies, provides optimum solutions for Firefighters by taking into account the Thermal Protective Performance (TPP) requirements demanded for ''close-in'' firefighting at the flame front.
Next, we balance that need with the need for light weight, high strength fabrics that breathe, to provide superior Total Heat Loss (THL) performance ratings for heat stress management.
Consoltex fabric solutions offer innovative constructions to produce high strength-to-weight ratios, excellent water resistance, top wear resistance and maximum mobility without compromising thermal protection.
