Launched in May 2010, TECGEN® SELECT Flame Resistant Garments introduced light weight, breathability, and moisture-wicking capabilities to the US market. The fabric utilizes the patented TECGEN® fiber, which has exceptional flame resistance and thermal protection. When woven with other inherently FR fibers, TECGEN® fiber provides advanced levels of safety and comfort.

AWARD-WINNING FR TECHNOLOGY

Flame-resistant clothing has long been considered heavy to wear, which can leave the wearer uncomfortable and vulnerable to heat-related illness. TECGEN® SELECT fabric, at 5.5 ounces per square yard, is an ideal solution to this problem. TECGEN® SELECT fabric is over 20% lighter weight without sacrificing protection, compared to other HRC2 FR fabric.

While cotton-based FR fabrics typically have low air permeability restricting air flow to the wearer’s body, other inherently flame resistant fabrics have extremely high air flow leaving wearers too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. TECGEN® SELECT fabric has a well-balanced air permeability rating that allows the body to cool off in the summer and stay insulated in the winter, for year-round comfort.

LIGHTWEIGHT

BREATHABLE

Compared to many other FR fabrics, TECGEN® SELECT fabric provides fast moisture-wicking capability. Cotton-based FR absorbs moisture from the skin but can be slow to evaporate this moisture. Traditional, inherent fabrics offer little or no moisture-absorbing capabilities. Using a blend of hydrophilic and hydrophobic inherently flame resistant fibers, TECGEN® SELECT garments remove moisture from the wearer’s skin and evaporate it quickly to help keep workers dry, comfortable, and therefore more productive.

OIL & GASWhile many FR fabrics on the market today pass the standard for flash fire protection per NFPA 2112, TECGEN® SELECT fabric exceeds the standard, offering a low 26% body burn percentage. This protection is offered without sacrificing comfort with the moisture-wicking fiber blend of TECGEN® SELECT fabric. If your company values reducing the severity of flash fire injuries and increasing worker comfort, TECGEN® SELECT garments are your dependable choice.

MANUFACTURING/NFPA 70EHeavy. Hot. Uncomfortable. When manufacturing facility workers are asked why they don’t want to wear their FR clothing, these are just a few of the comments we have heard. TECGEN® SELECT fabric is currently the lightest weight woven fabric on the market to meet HRC2. At only 5.5 ounces per square yard and an HRC2 rating, TECGEN® SELECT Flame Resistant Garments offer a strong weight-to-protection ratio. Increase safety compliance and enhance productivity by keeping your maintenance, electrician, and engineering teams comfortable with TECGEN® SELECT garments.

ELECTRIC UTILITYWith the 2012 changes to the National Electric Safety Code, power generation and T&D organizations are challenged to increase safety without adding a higher risk of heat-related illness. TECGEN® SELECT fabric not only is the lightest weight woven shirt to offer HRC2 level protection, but is also 50% more breathable than traditional cotton-based FR fabrics. Along with the added comfort and protection of TECGEN® SELECT fabric comes durability. Whether your teams are in the plant or in the bucket, TECGEN® SELECT garments provide long-lasting value to your catalog, rental or purchase program.

You’ll be comfortable. Don’t take our word for it...

“Unlike many FR fabrics that are cold in the winter and hot in the summer, I understand that TECGEN® is just the opposite. It also performs significantly better in a flash fire. I have been wearing and specifying FR clothing since 1988 and every vendor claims that their FR fabric is the coolest and most comfortable. I believe that TECGEN® is a fabric that finally lives up to that claim and outperforms the competition under fire.”

-Joe Trapp, BP Upstream Global Projects February 2013

“I wore the product in Texas humid heat and also in the Minnesota cold. The product was superior to others I have tried.”

-Ahmed Wani, Safety Engineer July, 2012

“When you work in a hot & humid climate like most of our fields in Texas and Louisiana, the idea of wearing any type of Fire Resistant Clothing is not a fun one. In my role as Safety and Training manager for my organization, I was put in charge of implementing FRCs to all of our facilities. Automatically I felt like the big bad safety guy, but the TECGEN® products quickly had me & my co-workers smiling. This FRC product is the most comfortable, coolest and softest that I have ever worn. We have been very pleased with not only the quality of the product but also the quality of the company. Thanks TECGEN®!!”

-James Coulter Hillcorp Houston, TX February 2013

“The TECGEN® shirt is much lighter and seems to breathe even as a new shirt. It is much softer than what I currently use.”

-D. Daniel Mastec February 2013

“I really enjoy the fit of the shirt and the coveralls are very light compared to others I have worn” -Hasaan Hypolite, S&B Engineers & Constructors
