Inherent, Permanent FR Protection
See the difference that comprehensive FR protection can make in the face of flash fire and other fire-related hazards.
Flash Fire & Other Thermal Hazards
Flash fire moves fast. With a sudden ignition and a wave of heat and flame, workwear quickly becomes the only thing that can prevent a life-altering burn injury.
Unlike other fabrics that rely on surface-level FR chemical treatments, GlenGuard's FR protection is permanent and built into the fiber itself, meaning it won't wash out or wear down. When flames hit, the fabric self-extinguishes and won’t ignite, melt, or burn the skin. That's a standard workers can count on for the life of the garment.
