FR NOMEX
The gold standard in FR.
Burlington’s renowned Nomex Maxima FR fabric offers inherent durability and superior flammability protection.
FR CXP6
FR
FR superiority.
Nomex® is widely known for its flame-resistance capabilities.
It’s engineered not to burn, with FR built right into the fibers. Don’t sacrifice comfort or performance with this fabric.
FR IN30
FR
FR meets cotton.
Westex’s Indura® FR 30 fabric is the first 100% cotton flame resistant fabric. Engineered with a special coating to help neutralize flames at the point of contact, Indura® provides guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment – at a very affordable price point.
705
HIGH DENSITY
High density meets cleanroom versatility.
PFG’s 705 fabric is ideal for a variety of cleanroom and medical environments. It provides a protective fluid barrier, as well as a carbon pinstripe for electromagnetic dissipation.
Integrity® 1800
HIGH DENSITY
Unparalleled protection.
PFG’s Integrity 1800 is an industry frontrunner, featuring the smallest pore size in its class – which translates to maximal fluid resistance and particle filtration. This high performer has an ESD pinstripe for electromagnetic dissipation and an antimicrobial finish to inhibit bacterial growth and reduce bio-burden.
Maxima® High Density ESD
HIGH DENSITY
Contamination Control MVP.
Burlington’s Maxima® fabric is made with non-linting yarns to reduce risk of fiber generated infection, while its high-density construction is both fluid and bacteria resistant. Plus, its carbon stripe promotes static dissipation, protecting cutting-edge equipment.
Poly/Cotton 65/35
POLY/COTTON
Performance meets versatility.
We’ve combined the best elements of two very different fabrics to create a high-performing fabric option. Ideal for use in research, quality-control and industrial environments, our Poly-Cotton 65/35 fabric offers the endurance of polyester coupled with the comfort and breathability of cotton. This is a lighter alternative to Poly-Cotton 80/20.

POLY/COTTON
Performance meets versatility.
We’ve combined the best elements of two very different fabrics to create a high-performing fabric option. Ideal for use in research, quality-control and industrial environments, our Poly-Cotton 80/20 fabric offers the endurance of polyester coupled with the comfort and breathability of cotton. This is a heavier alternative to Poly-Cotton 65/35.
100% Spun Polyester
POLY
High performance. Low-maintenance.
The properties of synthetic polyester make it an excellent choice for everyday lab and medical uses. Resistant to both wrinkles and shrinkage, its strong fibers ensure durability and low-maintenance care. Plus, it offers enough versatility and flexibility to meet a long list of needs.
ESD Sandwash
SANDWASH
Base layer breathability plus ESD protection.
CritiCore’s non-linting and breathable sandwash fabric is made with 99% continuous filament polyester and 1% carbon. Its carbon stripe assists in electrostatic dissipation and helps prevent “cling,” while the softness makes this base layer comfortable for everyday wear.
Sandwash
SANDWASH
Optimal base layer comfort.
Non-linting and breathable, this sandwash fabric is soft and smooth for an ideal cleanroom base layer. Made with 100% continuous filament polyester, its moisture-wicking properties maximize comfort in cleanroom environments.
