Hazards & Standards

Westex recognizes that in the event of an electric arc flash, flash fire, molten metal splash or other thermal exposure, the performance of the flame resistant fabric used to construct the garment is a critical factor in determining the level of protection the garment will afford the wearer. The FR fabric is also a main factor in determining the comfort, durability and the overall value equation of an FR protective clothing program. Over the past half century, Westex has earned a reputation for building the most advanced systems, equipment and technology in the industry. Westex is committed to consistently producing the highest quality flame resistant cotton and cotton blend fabrics possible, providing excellent service and technical support, and continuing to focus on innovative research and development to further enhance the safety, comfort and value of protective clothing programs.
