PBI Quick Delivery Set
Pbi™/Kevlar® products being marketed in the fire service
(ours and our competitors) are most often as an engineered
blend of 40% Pbi™ and 60% Kevlar®. Pbi™/Kevlar® has
distinguished itself in some of the most active metro
departments. The fabric was initially developed as part of
the Project FIRES effort to provide non-charring protection
at temperatures above the capabilities of Nomex® (approximately
750 degrees F). While Nomex® remains an effective
insulator charred, it can break away with movement,
and in the event of a continued or secondary exposure
could allow a potentially serious breach in the protective
envelope. Pbi™/Kevlar®, in contrast, will resist charring up
to temperatures that exceed the firefighter’s biological
capabilities. Pbi™/Kevlar® offers very high anti-char
performance. Pbi™/Kevlar® is available in 7.5 oz weight.
Pbi™/Kevlar® is available with enhanced waterproofing.
This 7.5 oz rip-stop product is available in Black and dying
the natural Bronze color seems to dramatically reduce UV
degradation problems and to improve durability. In our
opinion, the Pbi™/Kevlar® outer shell (especially in Black) is
one of the most preferred and high performing outer shell
products.
