“The technical research team at Daletec set out to develop a fabric for the future. Their concept was a product that had excellent performance levels; high abrasion resistance; maximum protection from flames and sparks; plus, the comfort and flexibility that workers need from a fabric that would be worn in a wide range of conditions. Extreme X is the result, featuring a state-of-the-art blend of fibre technologies,” Cordura stated in a press release.

Targeted for EU workers in electrical power generation and utilities where multi-risk performance and maximum protection from hazards is important, Daletec Extreme X is available in hi-visibility yellow as well as navy and black – with fabrics meeting EN 20471 contrast, Cordura added. The 30 per cent stretch functionality, dimensional stability at ISO 15797 and 50N tear strength all add up to Daletec Extreme X setting the new standard for IFR fabric performance.

“We believe Extreme X delivers performance that is vital in tomorrow’s flame-retardant protective fabrics” Erlend Hesjedal-Johannessen, brand manager for Daletec FR Fabrics said. “Ultimately, Daletec Extreme X has been engineered for comfort, and for protection, and to last. It is designed to stand up to the hazard’s workers face as well as resist tearing and abrasion. The longer a fabric lasts, the longer the wearer has protection in the work environment and the longer the garment can remain in use. Durable products are increasingly being recognised as a preferred solution for companies investing in protecting their people.”
