New partnerships provide FR industry with more options
Mount Vernon FR has collaborated with Cat® Apparel and Westmoor Manufacturing’s Rock & Roll Cowboy to bring more flame resistant clothing (FRC) choices to the industry. Cat Apparel is producing an FR work shirt and coverall, and Rock & Roll Cowboy will offer jeans, giving consumers FR options with the same great fit and styling they’ve come to expect from these brands.
Cat Apparel developed its FR line to protect workers without compromising comfort or function. The Cat FR Work Shirt with DuPont™ Nomex® MHP mesh gussets is made using Mount Vernon FR’s AMTEX TC PLUS Sateen fabric. It’s a 6.5 ounce fabric blend of cotton, Tencel® and nylon twill, and provides a great “true” fit with FR mesh gussets under the arms for better stretch and comfort. The Cat FR Twill Coverall with DuPont™ Nomex® MHP mesh gussets is made with Mount Vernon FR’s AMTEX PLUS Sauk Sateen 6.5 ounce, 88 percent cotton/12 percent nylon twill blend. The coverall provides functional features, durability and protection, and has been fit-tested for ease of movement, comfort and coolness. Both the shirt and coverall are available at retail and each is UL – NFPA2112 certified and provide dual hazard protection that meet NFPA 70E CAT 2, ASTM 1506 and OSHA 29 CFR1910.269.
