GlenGuard fabrics were created by blending Kermel SofShield fibers with solution-dyed FR modacrylic fibers. The result is a fabric that is inherently flame resistant and also colorfast even after repeated commercial launderings. GlenGuard fibers also offer enhanced abrasion resistance for longer life, chemical resistance and improved moisture management for increased worker comfort. The woven fabrics are soft to the touch, contributing to a perception of increased comfort.
Glen Raven launched the new fabric this year with a major industrial laundry service and a specialty manufacturer of arc flash clothing. Glen Raven is also working with several protective apparel makers who are adding GlenGuard to their product offerings, while a number of leading industrial and petrochemical companies are running field trials.
