Technical fabricas for firefighters

A sector where the highest standards prevail and where fire protection is required in addition to good mechanical resistance and comfort.

As one of the most demanding sectors, firefighters must be equipped with fabrics developed to meet the highest levels of protection and comfort. In general, this is a sector that seeks high-quality fabrics despite their high cost abroad. The majority use fabrics crafted from aramid fibres, which predominate in the sector, as they provide high levels of resistance to mechanical tension and durability,
while also being inherently fire-resistant and must pass EN 469 for structural intervention equipment.

For these reasons, Marina Textil has developed a range of technical fabrics for firefighters made from blends of meta-aramids and para-aramids that offer effectiveness and protection in the field at a competitive cost.

The dangers confronted by firefighters range from maximum fire exposure, accidents of any kind, cuts, varying types of scrapes, etc. Therefore, we are talking about a demanding sector in which the protective fabrics used must offer excellent flame resistance and mechanical strength.

In addition, firefighters are one of the groups responsible for participating in technical rescues of all kinds. With the acceptance of the new European EN 16689 standard, an optimum level of protection has been found for the times when customary firefighter protection governed by EN 469 is not required. This is why we have developed a special collection where, in addition to maximum protection, we have put an emphasis on comfort. This has been achieved with the introduction of elastic and high-visibility technical fabrics for firefighters.

These are the fire resistant fabrics that Marina Textil has developed for firefighters. Click on any of them to read more about their specifications.
