Carrington to participate in Professional Clothing Show

June 16, 2017 - United Kingdom

Carrington, a market leader and producer of workwear fabrics, has announced that the company is set to launch two new flame retardant products at this year’s Professional Clothing Show, a leading UK event for safety and health professionals and part of the Protection & Management Series, to be held at ExCel London, from June 20 to 22, 2017, at stand Q425.

Carrington will be launching two new flame retardant products at this year’s Professional Clothing Show, and both have been award shortlisted. The company will exhibit the Flametougher 280AS and Flamestat Satin 225 Pro 2 at the event, alongside a new range of Stretch fabrics for the workwear industry.

The event will partner with the Safety & Health expo to showcase workwear and personal protective equipment designed to meet the needs of multiple industries. Flametougher has been developed for workers operating in particularly challenging environments – such as oil refineries, where there is a demand for multi-norm fabrics with both flame retardant and antistatic properties.

Developed in close collaboration with Cordura fabric, Flametougher utilises Cordura NYCO fabric technology for long-lasting performance, helping to extend the lifespan of garments.
Retaining the same long lasting flame retardant qualities of Flametougher, Flamestat Satin 225 Pro 2 is a lightweight, comfortable fabric, designed to meet today’s increasing multipurpose garment requirements. Withstanding precipitation, fog and ground humidity, the fabric remains breathable and keeps the wearer dry, even in heavy downpours.

The Flametougher 280AS and Flamestat Satin 225 Pro2 have been shortlisted in the Best Fabric and Fibre Innovation category at the Professional Clothing Awards 2017.

Carrington will also be exhibiting its Stretch fabric which was launched earlier this year at TechTextil. Designed to meet the growing demand for garments with built-in comfort, the Stretch range combines the tenacity of polyester and the breathability of cotton to produce a yarn engineered to give permanent elasticity. This allows garments to flex and respond without placing strain on their construction, and enables the material to retain its original shape and appearance, even after industrial laundering. (GK)
