Protective Fabrics
the fabric of safety
Innovative PPE fabrics for emergency services professionals.
Pioneering fabric technology
We develop and manufacture specialist protective fabrics with a single purpose: to keep people safe and protected in the most hazardous situations.
Trusted by wearers across the world
We’ve been providing protective fabrics to the emergency services for more than 150 years, since we first supplied wool melton to the London Fire Brigade. Since then we’ve continued to innovate, combining our understanding of the inherent protective properties of wool with the latest advances in fabric technology to create fabrics that provide durability and comfort, fabrics that offer the ultimate protection when lives are on the line.
Innovation
While we have a long history providing protective fabrics to the fire services, that history has been one of constant innovation. We were the first to recognise the inherent fire-resistant properties of woollen fabrics and we’ve continued to explore their capabilities, integrating the most advanced fabric technologies to make them lighter, more durable and ultimately, safer.
In-house testing laboratory
At our Yorkshire mill, we have invested £250,000 in state-of-the-art development and testing facilities. Here is where our team of fabric technologists apply their expertise to innovating, developing and testing our protective fabric solutions under the most rigorous laboratory conditions.
Testing and standards
Our ability to test our fabrics at every stage of development and production means customers can be reassured that Hainsworth Protective Fabrics meet the highest international standards required to perform and protect in critical situations.
Sustainability
Our commitment to sustainable products and processes extends to our protective fabrics too, and throughout the product lifecycle we aim to reduce impact, where we can, adding to the solution, not the problem.
Delivering the ultimate protection
We take the time to listen to our wearers, making sure our fabrics are designed with their specific needs in mind.
