INDUSTRY SOLUTION

Workwear & Flame Retardant.
Inherent Protection.

This solution is built around permanent protection engineered into the fiber structure rather than applied as a surface finish, combining aramid IIIA blends, meta-aramid and para-aramid yarn routes, protective fabrics, and sewing-thread support for global workwear and PPE programs.

PROTECTIVE TEXTILES

Inherent flame-resistant textile systems engineered for workwear, arc flash, and sewn protective products.

Workwear & Flame Retardant brings together NOVAREX™ inherently flame-resistant yarns, fabrics, and sewing threads for industrial uniforms, arc-flash garments, oil and gas programs, and sewn protective systems where thermal performance cannot wash out.

150-300 gsm

Core FR Fabric Window

Representative woven and blended fabric routes spanning lighter workwear through heavier industrial protection weights.

NFPA / EN / IEC

Standards Pathways

Programs aligned around globally legible flame, heat, welding, and arc-flash qualification frameworks.

Permanent FR Performance

Protection is engineered directly into the fiber structure so garment programs do not depend on chemical aftertreatments that can wash out over time.

Arc Flash to Industrial Workwear

The solution set spans daily-wear industrial FR fabrics, certified arc-flash routes, and multi-risk textile programs that need both comfort and protection.

Oil & Gas and Utility Readiness

NOVAREX™ fabrics are positioned for energy, utility, telecom, welding, and heavy-industrial environments where flame, heat, static, abrasion, and climate all need to be considered together.

Thread, Fabric, and Garment Logic

The program does not stop at base fabric: meta-aramid and para-aramid sewing threads support seam integrity in protective garments, gloves, carriers, and other high-heat sewn products.

WORKWEAR & FLAME RETARDANT

Inherent protection built from yarn, fabric, and sewing-thread routes that stay reliable in real industrial wear.

NOVAREX™ develops FR textile systems as a complete route instead of a single fabric offer. The solution set spans Aramid IIIA blends, comfort-oriented blended yarns, arc-flash fabric programs, oil and gas workwear materials, and matching sewing threads for protective garment assembly.

Permanent FR Logic

Protection is engineered into the fiber structure so it does not rely on chemical aftertreatment that can wash out or fade through use.

Certified Arc Pathways

The textile ladder includes arc-rated routes aligned around ATPV, CAT, and globally legible flame and heat standards.

Comfort + Compliance

Aramid blends are tuned to balance flame resistance, moisture management, softness, durability, and day-long industrial wearability.

Protection Route Matrix

The workwear story moves from inherent FR fabric to arc-flash, oil-and-gas, and sewn-system execution.

The NOVAREX™ solution set is broader than one fabric datasheet. It covers daily-wear FR routes, certified arc-flash programs, oil and gas multi-risk systems, and the sewing-thread infrastructure needed to turn protective materials into reliable garments.

Active Scenario

The daily-wear foundation for workwear programs

These woven routes keep protection inside the fiber structure instead of applying it as a finish. They are positioned for industrial uniforms and FR garments that need a dependable balance of protection, comfort, and color consistency.
