Engineered Polymers and Yarns
Safety Components has a long history of working in cooperation with leading fiber
companies to develop and commercialize improved polymer and fiber technologies.
We are proud of our preferred partnerships with such leaders as Dupont, Invista,
Unifi, and PBI Performance Products. These strong relationships have spawned the
birth of such products as WeatherMax, Fusion, PBI Matrix and Sigma 4 Star.
Innovative Fire Resistant Fiber Blends
As the technology leader in FR fabric applications, Safety Components has led the
industry in the development of multi-fiber FR blends. We use our extensive knowledge
base to select and blend fibers and/or yarns that can deliver maximum fabric
performance. Our development team doesn’t rely on single or bi-fiber solutions to
enhance product performance. We constantly seek the right balance of fiber
properties for each solution. Our innovations have improved the protection
and safety of firefighters, war fighters, and other first responders worldwide.
High-Performance Fabric Finishes
We partner with customers to understand their unmet needs, and deliver
performance solutions to their problems. In many cases, this involves our extensive
capability to develop enhanced fabric finishes that improve such performance values
as water repellency, moisture management, insect repellency, abrasion resistance,
rubber release or adhesion, filtration cake release, mold and mildew resistance and
fabric hand. Call us with your issue and we will find a solution.
Enhanced Fabric Strength
There are many ways to impact fabric strength; innovative yarns or fibers, weave
modifications, multi-fiber fabrics or high molecular strength polymers. When it comes
to improving fabric strength, our textile engineers have raised the strength bar for
automotive air bags, aerospace escape slides, military jet fuel crashworthy fuel
bladders, commercial awnings and military battle dress uniforms.
Durability Performance Technology
Safety Components wrote the book on durability performance. When Tumi luggage
needed improved luggage performance, we responded with our patented Fusion Z
technology. When fire fighters wanted better outer shell durability we delivered our
Teflon F-PPE finish. While a wide variety of abrasion testing methods do exist, the
fact is that they tend to fall short in regards to consistency and reliability, so at Safety
Components we’re dedicated to measure and track durability through extensive field
testing with partners, customers and end-users in each market we serve.
Comfort
High-performance apparel fabrics place safety first, durability second and often
overlook comfort. Safety Components' experience with multi-fiber blends and all
yarn spinning technologies help to optimize all aspects of work-wear performance,
while not compromising comfort.
Controlled Air Porosity
When an automotive air bag needs to inflate and deflate in a split second, or when a
rollover curtain needs to maintain air-holding capacity, we deliver reliable solutions.
When a filtration company needs high temperature cake release, we deliver reliable
solutions. When a fabric coater needs specific air porosity for his compounds, we
deliver reliable solutions.
