Thin, lightweight and durable, hoods made with ±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® Nano Flex help prevent many harmful particulates from being absorbed through the skin on the neckline and upper jaw, which are areas that historically are known to be the most vulnerable and least protected. When added to a firefighter hood composite structure, hoods made with ±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® Nano Flex result in higher than 99% particulate, bacterial and viral filtration efficiency.
This game-changing barrier protection is achieved without compromising thermal resistance, breathability, comfort or situational awareness.
Only stationwear made with ±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® has built-in heat and flame protection that won’t melt, drip or stick to your skin when worn under turnout gear. Lightweight and breathable for a comfortable fit, stationwear made with ±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® features excellent color fastness for a long-lasting professional look.
In addition, stationwear made with ±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® can be washed and worn at least 125 times without sacrificing performance, giving it an average wear life of five years compared to only one year for flame-retardant-treated (FRT) cotton fabrics. It is available in button-down shirts, t-shirts and pants
±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® and °±ð±¹±ô²¹°ù® fibers can be found in each layer of most firefighter turnout gear. Together, these innovative fibers help provide proven protection, durability and comfort from the inside out.
±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® and °±ð±¹±ô²¹°ù® fibers help manufacturers create fire-resistant liners, outer shells and accessories that not only stand up to the thermal hazards that firefighters may face, but also help them to get the job done without getting in the way of mobility.
Developed to address the growing problem of heat stress, ±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® Nano represents the next generation of firefighter protection. It is specifically engineered to be thinner than other advanced flame-resistant (FR) materials used for thermal liners and features equivalent durability. In fact, ±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® Nano for thermal liners can provide up to a 40% reduction in thermal liner thickness without compromising thermal protection.
Thermal liners made with ±·´Ç³¾±ð³æ® Nano can help reduce the weight and bulk of turnout gear, increasing mobility and reducing fatigue, disorientation and heat exhaustion. These thermal liners also feature enhanced moisture management, further contributing to a reduction in heat stress by rapidly removing sweat to keep skin dry, storing less water and drying quickly.
