Sigma 4 Star™ Fire Retardant Fabrics

Sigma 4 Star FR fabrics represent the latest technology from Safety 
Components and the ITG military group. By leveraging our technology 
leadership position achieved in the commercial firefighting market with one of
the largest and most diverse apparel fabric producers in the world, we present 
Sigma 4 Star protective fabric as the ultimate in FR battle dress protection, 
comfort and durability. A wide variety of finished weight options are available, ranging from 2.9 to 7.0 oz/yd².

BodyShield™ Composite Technology 


BodyShield composite technology is a patent-pending flame resistant insulative 
garment system. The combination of Stealth™ outer shell fabric technology and 
Versatech® FR lining technology coupled with the BodyShield FR insulating 
composite technology provides maximum protection against the elements in 
extreme cold weather conditions, superior FR and near infrared protection, 
while maintaining the proper balance of breathability, warmth, packability, 
and aesthetics.

Nomex Military Fabrics 


Building upon a manufacturing heritage that spans more than 100 years, 
Safety Components engineers a range of natural or producer-colored Nomex® 
products for military end uses. Our manufacturing capability includes fabrics 
for pilots’ and combat vehicle crewmen’s coveralls as well as the latest in FR 
industrial workwear and structural firefighting gear.

Technical Military Fabrics 


Safety Components produces a variety of technical fabrics for the military. 
These products include various mil spec end uses, ballistic fabrics, fuel cells, 
polyester tentage, and numerous other applications using nylon, polyester, 
and aramid yarns. In addition, we welcome the opportunity to partner and 
develop any new fabrics based on customer requirements.

Filament Twill Technology

Technology in PPE has advanced at an amazing rate over the last few years. 
Lighter, stronger, more flexible FR fabrics coupled with ergonomic garment designs 
have revolutionized the way firefighters perform while wearing turnout gear. 
Filament Twill Technology™, developed and patented by Safety Components, 
can be found in outer shells like PBI Max™ and Armor AP™ and in thermal 
liners like Glide™.

Outershells 


Recognized as the technology leader and one of the largest global suppliers of fire-
fighting fabrics, Safety Components innovative fabric solutions continue to improve 
the personal protective performance of outershell fabrics. Whether it’s enhanced, 
durable water repellency for safer, lighter, more comfortable gear, or solution dyed 
fibers for improved color consistency, or lower profile ripstop weaves for improved
 resistance to abrasion, or most recently the inclusion of military grade Kevlar® for 
improved durability…look to Safety Components for superior outershell fabric performance.

Thermal Liners


Technological advancements in firefighting fabrics extend through our complete line of
thermal liners. With innovations that address the key elements in thermal liner
performance such as moisture management, freedom of movement and weight gain.
As the last layer of defense, we understand the importance of properly engineered
thermal liner systems. That’s why we patented higher lubricity liners featuring 
excellent moisture management and pure fiber battings for consistent TPP and
THL performance and water repellent spunlace for improved moisture wicking.

Wildland, USAR, Apparel

Regardless of the tasks at hand, these situations all demand gear that is 
lighter, tougher and drier. That’s why we employ the most advanced weaving 
technology in the world, combined with high performance fibers like DuPont™ 
Nomex®, DuPont™ Kevlar®, Lenzing FR and PBI to offer garments that are lighter 
weight, yet provide advanced protection and performance. Fabrics that assure 
higher thermal protection with exceptional comfort and durability, fabrics that are 
certified to NFPA 1977/1975/1951 — the most reliable garments on the market today.
