Scientific Equipment Proves Fabric Wear Life

摘要

Firefighters expose their turnout gear to some of the most brutal conditions and today, it's even more demanding as Fire Departments must respond to almost any emergency situation from a fire to a bombing to the proverbial cat stuck up a tree. The scientists at TenCate Protective Fabrics have long sought to best meet the demands of the ever-evolving duties of firefighters. In the laboratories at TenCate, each and every fabric undergoes repeated testing and stringent quality control. New concepts in fabrics are made into turn- out gear and tested at a variety of fire academies. And a panel of Fire Chiefs evaluates the research and development process throughout.
