What is Flame-Resistant Webbing and Cord?
Flame-resistant webbing and cord are crafted from materials such as Kevlar, Nomex, PBI, and other para-aramids. These materials are naturally resistant to fire due to their unique composition, making them ideal for high-risk environments. Unlike flame-retardant materials, which are treated with chemicals to slow down ignition and burning, flame-resistant materials are inherently non-flammable and provide continuous protection without the need for additional treatments.
Applications of Flame-Resistant Webbing and Cord
Our flame-resistant webbing and cord are used across various industries that require robust fire protection:
Industrial Safety Gear
Essential for protective gear worn by workers in high-temperature environments, such as foundries, welding operations, and chemical plants. These materials ensure that workers are protected from fire hazards and injury.
Military & Defense
Enhances the safety of gear and equipment used in combat situations. Flame-resistant materials provide critical protection for soldiers, ensuring their gear remains intact and functional even in the presence of fire.
Aerospace & Aviation
Provides critical fire protection for various components and interiors of aircraft. Flame-resistant materials help meet stringent safety regulations and protect passengers and crew from potential fire hazards.
