Fabrics

StaSafe® materials offer their own unique, distinctive colors so the wearer can be immediately identified and differentiated from rainwear or non-chemical garments. This provides a fool proof means of identifying workers in hazardous areas

HiGlo

A bright yellow, proprietary polyvinyl chloride compound that is coated on both sides. Our compound gives the fabric a softer, more pliant feel and superb low temperature flexibility. At 19 mils to 21 mils thick, HiGlo is the fabric of choice for maintenance and operations personnel within the chemical/petrochemical and HF Refining industries.

CPE

(chlorinated polyethylene) Is easily recognized by its bright orange color so that it is readily identifiable in hazardous conditions. CPE is a 23 mil thick proprietary formulated fabric that provides outstanding chemical and flame resistance while maintaining flexibility in low temperatures (as low as -25°F). It also provides superior protection from inorganic acids, oxidizing acids and aliphatic hydro-carbons. Additionally, our single layer CPE fabric meets and exceeds the Flame Impingement criteria set forth in ASTM F1358.

GraLite®

A pearl gray, proprietary polyvinyl chloride compound that is coated on both sides. The 19 mils to 21 mils thick material offers resistance to most aliphatic hydrocarbons, caustics, organic acids and alcohols.

GraLite® 20

Recommended for more severe corrosive and abrasive conditions because of its 24 mils to 26 mils thickness. With a PVC coating on one side, GraLite® 20 has proven itself to be a rugged, durable protective fabric.

WinterGlo

A bright pink and coated on both sides. WinterGlo is 19 mils to 21 mils thick and easily identified by its distinctive color and flexibility.

WinterGlo20

WinterGlo20 is a 24 mils to 26 mils thick and offers outstanding chemical resistance. WinterGlo 20 is easily identified by its one side coating and our proprietary PVC formulation keeps fabric soft and flexible year round.

FlexLite Orange (FLO)

Easily recognized by its bright neon orange color. At 19 mils to 21 mils thick, FlexLite Orange is similar to HiGlo except for its difference in color

FlexLite Blue (FLB)

Easily recognized by its bright blue color. At 17 mils to 19 mils this fabric is designed to replace raingear in the chemical/petrochemical and HF Refining industries. FLB cost per wearing is an economical way to improve safety and reduce cost in a hazardous environments.

Ebony

A charcoal black, proprietary polyvinyl chloride compound that is coated on both sides. Our compound gives the fabric a softer, more pliant feel and superb low temperature flexibility. At 19 mils to 21 mils thick, Ebony is the fabric of choice for especially dirty maintenance functions within the chemical/petrochemical and HF Refining industries.
