Arc Rated

The PYRAD® Fabric blocks convective heat flow on arc exposure. It stops flame propagation by forming a carbonaceous char within the fabric while maintaining its physical integrity for reduced heat transfer to the skin.

Lightweight and Breathable

These garments are up to 45% lighter than competitive garments. They feel significantly less bulky, prevent heat buildup and offer higher freedom of movement. More comfort leads to increased wearer acceptance, which increases safety.
