OFFRAY Specialty Narrow Fabrics (OSNF) and FULFLEX® have teamed up to develop a new collection of FR elastics offered in blends of Kevlar®, Nomex®, PBI®, and other fibers in a variety of widths and thickness. The new OFFRAY FR-FLEX™ line has applications in any market requiring an elastic product. This would include industrial, electrical, military, safety and fire protection. This product can be used in head and SCBA harnesses, goggle elastic, chin strap, suspenders, belts, adjustment straps, turnout gear, base layers and underwear.
The characteristics of this innovative elastic webbing include flame-resistant no melt/no drip performance, increased design options for a thinner, flatter design and improved hand. This product allows engineers to use stretch products providing better fit and performance in protective apparel. The increased FR protection surpasses the NFPA 1971 vertical flame standard allowing for stretch product applications that were impossible in the past.
OFFRAY Specialty Narrow Fabrics is a privately-owned manufacturer of technical, high performance webbings and tapes with expanded fabrication services for customers worldwide in both commercial and military applications. The company is proud to be the leading narrow fabrics supplier of woven products made in the USA. FULFLEX® is the world’s leading manufacturer of thin-gauge calendared and extruded elastic products.
