Fire PPE

Fire PPE Fabrics

We develop and manufacture specialist firefighter fabrics with a single purpose: to keep people safe and protected in the most hazardous situations.

Our firefighter fabrics

Our mission is to keep emergency services workers safe. We listen, we innovate, we test, and we apply fibre positioning knowledge to deliver protection, comfort and quality.

Fire PPE Fabrics

Our firefighter fabrics are rigorously tested in our UKAS accredited testing laboratory (No 4122).

We’re passionate about protecting individuals facing hazardous situations. Hainsworth is a global leader in textile development, manufacture and application, and we have supplied flame-resistant fabric to firefighters for over 150 years.

We incorporate DuPont Nomex® with para-aramid fibres to protect fire fighters from the effects of heat and flame, whilst at the same time minimizing heat stress.

customer testimonials

“We’ve been delighted with the way that ECO-DRY has performed as part of our wildland ensemble. It wicks away moisture really well, which helps to keep you cool in such tough environments. In comparison to other wildland garments that I’ve tested, which can feel like wearing cardboard, the comfort that ECO-DRY provides is incredible.”

South Australia Country Fire Service

“Hainsworth TITAN kit keeps me cool and prevents me from being a boil in a bag. TITAN provides the flexibility whether I am in a fire situation which may be a short, sharp hit of 15 to 30 minutes or standing on a jet for three or four hours. Our kit provides comfort and flexibility of use.”

West Midlands Fire Service

“Our new garments definitely feel lighter. The new kit keeps us cooler when working for long periods of time at high intensity.”

Our team of lab technicians carry out a range of standard tests for evaluating specific textile properties both physical (e.g. tensile / tear strength, rub tests) and chemical (e.g. colour fastness).
