Mount Vernon FR debuts expanded Resilience® line of flame resistant fabrics, engineered for enhanced durability
Company introduces three new fabrics at SAFETY 2016
In keeping with the brand’s commitment to manufacturing high-quality products, Mount Vernon FR launches the newest additions to its Resilience® line of flame resistant fabrics, which are engineered to take durability to the next level. Purpose-built to deliver significantly higher abrasion resistance, the new fabrics – Arapaho R, Hopi N2X and Navajo N2X – feature cotton blended with high-tenacity nylon or Kevlar® for increased durability. The new fabrics will be showcased at Mount Vernon FR’s booth (#2735) at the American Society of Safety Engineer’s (ASSE) SAFETY 2016 exposition.
“Our survey of 400 environmental, health and safety (EHS) professionals found that the greatest challenge they experience is the need for more durable flame resistant clothing,” said Mike Woods, vice president of FR fabrics for Mount Vernon FR. “It is important that EHS professionals invest in flame resistant clothing programs that ensure the maximum level of durability to better protect their employees and fully take advantage of the lifetime of a flame resistant garment, which is what we aim to provide with our expanded collection of enhanced Resilience fabrics.”
