Westex Inc., est. 1919, is a world leader in flame resistant fabrics. Westex' INDURA^® Ultra Soft^® and INDURA^® brand flame resistant (FR) protective clothing fabrics are guaranteed flame resistant for the life of the garment. The advanced INDURA^® Ultra Soft^® provides excellent protection from electric arc flash (for NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506 and OSHA 1910.269 compliance), flash fire (for NFPA 2112 and CGSB 155.20 compliance), molten ferrous metal splash and welding exposures. This excellent protection is coupled with the soft breathable comfort of cotton and by engineering 12% high tenacity nylon in the face of the fabric, INDURA^® Ultra Soft^® is designed to wear at least 75% longer than all cotton, which leads to an excellent value equation. This superior balance of protection, comfort and value offers end-users with an excellent option to FR synthetic fabric such as Nomex IIIA. Our customers use INDURA^® Ultra Soft^® to manufacture a variety of garments including shirts, pants, coveralls, jackets, bib overalls, arc flash suits for maintenance & electrical workers and for workers in electric utilities, oil, gas, petrochemical, chemical, ferrous metal industries.
