The innovative material composition

X-Treme® light

X-TREME® light offers heat protection that significantly exceeds the values set out in the European norm EN 469, whether in direct contact with flames or heat radiation. When developing X-TREME light, the focus has been strongly on the weight. X-TREME® light combines excellent protection with significantly improved comfort, supported by the material’s light weight.

Innovative outer materials

Nomex® NXT

With the new DuPontTM Nomex® NXT, the quality of the reputable Nomex® Outershell Tough has once again been significantly improved. The new technical design guarantees at once both maximum comfort to wear and high protection.

IB-TEX®

With IB-TEX®, TEXPORT® presents a Nomex® premium product that sets new standards. The fabric, produced by IBENA® exclusively for TEXPORT®, combines extremely high mechanical values with a unique aesthetic. The reason for this lies in the innovative design: instead of using Para-Aramid, the strength of the fabric is achieved by working in aromatic polyesters. IB-TEX® is made up of 73 % aromatic polyamide (Aramid/Nomex®), 25 % aromatic PES and 2 % carbon fibre. That is how IB-TEX® guarantees the best protection effect. As a result of its special PowerShell finishing, re-waterproofing is not required until after 40 washing cycles.

Highlights

TEXPORT® Triple Fabric®

The TEXPORT® Triple Fabric® is a textile reflective stripe that is made from fabric and therefore is extremely breathable and more durable. The reflective, silverstripe material composition, patented by 3M*, adheres very well to the structure of the soft fabric. In addition, the TEXPORT® Triple Fabric® is abraded less severely through wear and washing.

Wicking Barrier

The wicking barrier is permanently waterproof, breathable and wash-resistant. That means even after many uses and washes, the clothing’s lining remains completely dry thanks to the GORE-TEX barrier, as no more moisture can enter through the seams.

Fire Stretch Jacket Highlights

Airblocker®

The insulation system in the shoulder area guarantees more safety through a permanent air cushion that rises from protectors in the inner lining and also stays upright when carrying respiratory protective equipment. The trapped air isolates this exposed area.

HPX-System®

With the HPX System®, changing a defective zip is no longer expensive and complicated, but simple and affordable. Through the High PerformanceeXchange System, or HPX System, the lifespan of protective clothing is increased significantly. In addition, thanks to the striking design it is immediately visible whether or not the front part is fully closed. That makes it even safer.

Fire Stretch Trousers Highlights

Ergopad®

The TEXPORT® Ergopad® is a cushioned, ergonomically preformed knee pad that fits the knee in every place and avoids creating pressure marks. It is flame-resistant and does not become saturated with water, in contrast to the aramid non-woven padding, so that the trousers dry much more quickly after washing.
