PBI fabrics are the first line of defence on the fire ground. They are renowned for their exceptional flame resistance and thermal protection from radiant heat and favoured by firefighters around the world.
PBI outer shell fabrics meet the need of every situation and work effectively as an integral part of the protective garment. Each fabric has different properties and applications, but all provide the required protection from heat and flame that an outer fabric must deliver.
All PBI outer fabrics including PBI Gold, PBI Matrix, PBI Max, Titan 1260 and Ibena X55 are lightweight and strong and achieve high flame resistance. They deliver excellent tensile strength and will not become brittle, shrink or break open when exposed to flame and high temperatures. This means that the integrity of the internal layers of the garment is protected and the transfer of any radiant heat is slower, allowing more time for firefighters to escape to safety in a situation such as a flashover.
PBI also has ‘next to skin’ fabrics such as PBI TriGuard, which delivers excellent protection against heat, flash fire and arc flash.
