Westex FR Fabrics

Westex Flame Resistant Fabrics

BECAUSE JUST MEETING THE STANDARDS IS NOT ENOUGH

At Westex we understand how complex it is to engineer a fabric that can support a true guarantee of flame resistance for the life of the garment. With tens of millions of yards shipped over 20 years, UltraSoft® and Indura® brand fabrics have delivered on this guarantee under the harshest test conditions and, more importantly, in the field. When you combine this high level of protection with our proprietary fabric softening process and double-shrunk technology, it’s easy to understand why thousands of end users globally have specified Westex fabrics.

Our proprietary technology gives us complete control over safety and comfort — from start to finish. The Westex difference extends beyond the critical engineering technology to internal and external testing and unmatched technical support. Westex advanced engineering technology includes:

  • Westex Flame Resistant Guarantee — To deliver on this guarantee, we use proprietary engineering processes involving a special fabric-preparation process; specialized, custom-engineered equipment; several additional steps in the multi-step FR engineering process; computer monitoring equipment; and extensive laboratory testing.

  • Specialized Softening Process — For ultimate softness and comfort, we put our fabrics through a multi-step softening process. This unique procedure gives us the industry’s preferred fabric feel and natural cotton comfort.

  • Double-Shrunk Technology — Our proprietary double-shrunk technology is far superior to any other process utilized today. This advanced technology is engineered into every yard of UltraSoft®, UltraSoft AC® and Indura® fabric.
