5,500 N at 220 g/m²
Tensile strength of 5,500 N in warp and 5,000 N in weft, tear strength of 270/310 N — at 220 g/m². The ArBo composition: 58% para-aramid, 40% PBO and 2% carbon fibre, with antistatic performance confirmed to EN 1149-5.
Fabrics that walk into fire
Every set of turnout gear that leaves your production line has one job: to bring a person back. That job rests on the fabric. This is why we supply material that meets the highest standards with a wide margin — to protect human life even better.

What sets our turnout fabrics apart
The full kit in one fibre chemistry
From the outer shell, through 150–260 g/m² garment fabrics, to station-wear knits: jersey, pique and FR fleece. The complete layer system of a firefighter’s kit from a single manufacturer, on the same aramid base.
Antistatic woven in, not applied
2% carbon fibre in the composition of every construction in the line. Antistatic performance to EN 1149-5 is the structure of the fabric — not a finish that disappears in laundering.
Rated 4–5 in ten fastness tests
The complete ISO 105 colour-fastness battery at 4–5: laundering, rubbing, perspiration, light, weathering, plus hypochlorite and peroxide — the agents of industrial laundering. The fabric keeps its properties and appearance after aggressive post-incident cleaning.
Dimensional stability of ±3%
Dimensional change in laundering limited to ±3% per EN ISO 5077 — twice as tight as the typical ±5%. For the cutting room: repeatable garment making. Plus pH 4.0–7.0 and no azo colorants (EN ISO 14362-1) — safe in hours-long skin contact.
A test report with every batch
Strength (EN ISO 13934-1, EN ISO 13937-2) and the full ISO 105 battery tested in our own laboratories. The document travels with the delivery — ready for the certification file of your product.
