PBI Peak5 outer shell offers firefighters unprecedented levels of durability and thermal protection while being remarkably lightweight. The fabric integrates TenCate Protective Fabrics’ patented Enforce technology, which blends multiple fibres into high-strength yarn structures, resulting in a fabric that is both exceptionally strong yet lightweight.
"Our goal is to design products that meet the specific needs of end-users, particularly the challenges faced by firefighters," said Michael Laton, VP of global strategy and innovation at TenCate Protective Fabrics. "PBI Peak5 stands out because it provides lighter-weight, more durable, thermal protection thanks to an advanced blend of PBI fibres and enforce yarns.”
The lightest outer shell ever engineered by TenCate Protective Fabrics, PBI Peak5 boasts an extremely high percentage of PBI fibres for leading levels of thermal stability, the company said in a press release.
The launch of the new outer shell marks a new era in the TenCate Protective Fabrics – PBI partnership in European markets.
“PBI Peak5 was designed specifically for fire brigades seeking an ultra-lightweight outer shell that still offers the unmatched flame-resistance under extreme conditions that PBI is known for,” said Helmut Zepf, managing director PPE division of PBI.
