With Phoenix TC, Mount Vernon FR offers solution to the market – maximum comfort and durability in denim
Bulwark is adopting flame resistant (FR) Tencel® and cotton denim jeans from Mount Vernon FR
Mount Vernon FR continues to expand its selection and variety of flame resistant (FR) denim fabrics with the introduction of Phoenix TC denim. Phoenix TC denim is a new Tencel® and cotton blend, developed to enhance the softness and comfort of FR jeans without a tradeoff in durability. Bulwark, a leading manufacturer of FR apparel, is adopting this new technology in upcoming denim jeans.
Tencel and cotton are ideal partners for denim. Tencel is a cellulosic fiber like cotton, yet it is the strongest cellulosic fiber available and is used to make fabrics softer and more comfortable without sacrificing performance. Despite the added strength, denim made with Tencel feels lighter than its true weight. The smooth surface of Tencel makes fabrics inherently softer and more comfortable without the reliance on chemical softeners, which may not be durable.
