Incorporating Protal – described by Waxman Fibres’ as the next-generation flame-retardant fabric solution – Toledo’s latest range of protective clothing is said to pass EN standards for high visibility and heat and flame resistance, without compromising on comfort, breathability, or cost effectiveness.
Peter Seward, Waxman Fibres’ technical director, said: “High-visibility orange is almost impossible to achieve with any fabric, other than polyester, which, although very cheap to produce, is neither flame-retardant nor comfortable to wear.”
The new flame-retardant, high-visibility fabric can also be dyed in accordance with the GO/RT 3279 standard for railway workers and sub-contractors, adds the company.
