Glen Raven partnership yields protective gear
Local specialty fabrics maker Glen Raven says it has developed a better flame-resistant fabric for the industrial apparel market with help from a European partner.
The Glen Raven-based company has been working for two years on product development with Kermel, a performance fiber manufacturer.
The result is GlenGuard FR, a fabric the companies tout as more comfortable, durable and color-fast that other protective clothing used by electric, oil and gas companies, for industrial maintenance, by engineering firms, in automotive racing and other sectors where people are exposed to heat, flames, chemicals and other hazards.
