A new fabric more than tough enough for flame retardant workwear

1 May 2018

At this year’s Safety & Health Expo, Carrington will be showcasing a diverse range of products including the flame retardant fabric; Flametougher 280AS.

Designed to offer durable performance and versatility for a variety of different environments, Flametougher has set new standards for stronger, tougher, more hard-wearing flame retardant workwear. 

Certified to relevant flame retardant, antistatic, chemical splash and electric arc requirements, Flametougher has been designed for workers operating in particularly challenging environments – such as oil refineries – where there is a demand for multi-norm fabrics with both flame retardant and antistatic properties.

Flametougher has been developed in close collaboration with CORDURA® fabric, which utilises CORDURA® NYCO fabric technology for long-lasting performance. Durability is essential when considering the practicalities of tough environments and the intensive wear that garments face.

Whereas previously, frequent laundering at high temperatures may have reduced a fabric’s protective qualities over time, Flametougher has excellent resistance to abrasion and industrial laundering, helping to extend the lifespan of garments.
