Introducing: a modern fire suit for next-gen firefighters

A tour that gives a glimpse of the new innovative custom firefighting suit of Safety Region IJsselland and how their wearers experience their new suit in practice.

Our collaboration with researchers at DuPont™ Technical Centre has led to using the innovative technology of double face reactive fabrics. Hear more about how this technology champions both safety and comfort.

Hear what S-Gard, one of the leading providers of modern, high-end fire service protective clothing, had to say about Nomex® Advance® Truecolor®.

Hear from Sioen Firefighter Clothing, who have selected our new fabric for their firefighter suits. Find out more about the high standards of design, composition and manufacture that our fabric must measure up to before being selected by companies like Sioen.

Find out why Ballyclare International, a leading protective clothing supplier, chose Nomex® Advance® TrueColor®, and how the product aligns with their values as a company.

Artem Fire & Rescue Academy have been using a suit made with AV 9400 for over 6 months while conducting technical rescue training. Read on for their findings.

Not only is the AV 9400 flexible to move in, it can be customised with unique colour combinations. Eric from Safety Masters guides us through how the fabric allows for a better wearer experience.

Explore the visual assessment of each colour before washing and after 5 and 25 times washing and drying.

The tensile properties of the outer shell gets tested while simulating maximum force. Explore the maximized durability results for each colour. 

The outer shell gets tested to determine the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method.

Experience the flexibility and recovery capabilities of this outer shell by watching this stretch test video.

Heat stress is the greatest risk to a firefighter’s life. View the thermal protection performances of this outer shell by watching the convective heat transfer test.

During this test, the level of resistance to surface wetting of the outer shell gets analyzed. Find out the results for all colours.

DuPont™'s Thermo-Man® test is simulating the garment's exposure to direct fire with temperatures up to 1200 degrees Celsius, to determine possible 2nd and 3th degree burn injuries a firefighter might suffer. This spectacular test is conducted with a suit made with Nomex® Advance® Truecolor®.
