The Advanced – Indura® Ultra Soft
Westex’s INDURA Ultra Soft® flame resistant
fabrics are a blend of 88% cotton and 12% high tenacity nylon. The
nylon fibers are intimately blended with cotton fibers in the warp
yarns. These fibers are spun using ring-spinning technology to produce
the highest strength fabric possible. The product is engineered to
focus the excellent abrasion resistance of the nylon on the face
of the fabric to enhance garment wear life, while the cotton fibers
are focused towards the skin to optimize comfort.
The fabrics are fully flame resistant and the addition of 12% nylon in no way
represents a hazard to the wearer. The 12% nylon actually enhances the protective
performance in some cases, such as an electric arc and flash fire exposures.
The significant increase in
the abrasion resistance of INDURA Ultra Soft® has been demonstrated to increase
the garment life expectancy conservatively by 50% over 100% cotton fabrics.
