New line of flame resistant fabrics from DuPont

DuPont Personal Protection introduced DuPont Protera - a new line of inherent flame resistant fabrics engineered to protect against electric arc hazards and meet NFPA 70E Category 2 requirements. DuPont Protera garments will have a better lifecycle value than less durable FR cotton nylon blend garments. Protera is twice as strong as FR cotton nylon blend fabrics and it stays twice as strong even after 100 washings. The thermal protection found in DuPont Protera is inherent and cannot be washed out or worn away. The fabric's flame resistance will not diminish through laundering or bleaching and will not require special laundry processing.

DuPont Protera comes in two fabric weights: 6½ and 8 ounces per square yard. It is available in medium blue, khaki and navy blue colors.
