There’s no question, seeing is believing. That’s why GSL offers a growing library of videos that allow you to see for yourself how our Spentex FR fabric compares to other available products.
Spentex® Superior Flash and Flame Stress Visual results
Garment testing based on ASTM 1930 (standard temperature guage) reflecting real life scenario FRC performance. Employees faced with fire threat will not stand still, but will bend, roll, etc. Notice how quickly upon minimal applied stress the NOMEX® and FR Cotton fabrics break-open.
Spentex® v. NOMEX IIIA® Fabric Heat Stress
Garment testing based on ASTM 1930 (standard temperature guage) reflecting real life scenario FRC performance. Employees faced with fire threat will not stand still, but will bend, roll, etc. Notice how quickly upon minimal applied stress the NOMEX® and FR Cotton fabrics break-open.
Spentex® v. NOMEX® Flash Fire Demonstration
Flash Fire simulation designed to show superior performance of Spentex® compared to NOMEX IIIA®. Heat Flux is based on ASTM 1930 (typical PetroChem flash hazard). Notice immediate charred break-open of NOMEX® compared to Spentex® with zero break-open.
Captain Jim Firehood™
Demonstration revealing the highly protective yet lightweight Spentex® NFPA 1971 certified Firehood. In comparison, notice how quickly the traditional NOMEX® hood ignites, emits toxic off-gasses and breaks-open. The Spentex® firehood outperforms both dry and wet, eliminating steam burns.
Spentex® Fire Blanket
A lightweight Spentex® Fire Blanket subjected to direct torch flame provides amazing protection and thermal barrier.
