CORDURA® Advanced Fabrics forges ahead with launch of next-gen flame resistant fabric solution at A+A

CORDURA® Advanced Fabrics is paving the way for new possibilities at A+A in Düsseldorf with the launch of CORDURA Comfort FR™, its new range of flame resistant (FR) fabric solutions. The CORDURA® team will be exhibiting in Hall 16, A48 where they will showcase how the new fabric marks a significant breakthrough in flame resistant (FR) performance fabrics, thanks to the combination of lightweight comfort, durability, and lower total cost of ownership.


Forged for Comfort

Protective gear is only effective if people are willing to wear it, and experts cite discomfort as one of the top reasons why workers consistently put themselves in danger by failing to wear PPE[1]. Designed to be lightweight, breathable, and soft, CORDURA Comfort FR™ fabrics can incorporate stretch while retaining their FR characteristics. This encourages daily use in demanding, high-risk jobs where people don’t want to be distracted or restricted by heavy, hot, and stiff protective clothing. 

Forged for Hard Work

CORDURA Comfort FR™ next-generation fabrics are engineered with patented thermally resistant nylon fiber technology to handle the toughest jobs and are built to last. These fabrics are designed to protect people working in some of the world’s most challenging environments, including oil & gas operators, public safety workers, and military personnel. CORDURA Comfort FR™ is designed to meet regulatory requirements for utility, oil/gas, and manufacturing industries, including specifications such as NFPA 2112 and ISO 11612, encouraging safety and compliance for critical applications. 

Forged to Outperform 

CORDURA Comfort FR™ fabrics deliver enhanced comfort and protection for end-users while offering significant advantages to PPE manufacturers. Compared to alternative products, garments made from this innovative technology may result in longer service life, fewer replacements, and consequently, reduced waste and lower total lifecycle costs. Additionally, CORDURA Comfort FR™ fabrics exhibit excellent colorfastness and versatility, making them easy to dye and print and further expanding design possibilities for manufacturers. 

The CORDURA® brand is a pioneer in the world of durable fabrics, known for producing high-tenacity nylon 6,6 fiber that is the foundation for fabrics which are resistant to abrasions, tears and scuffs. Building on this legacy, CORDURA Comfort FR™ fabrics deliver the confidence to get the job done by offering enhanced abrasion and tear resistance comparable or similar to PA66, along with superior UV resistance relative to dyed aramids.

“We’re proving that comfort and durability don’t have to be a trade-off in protective gear.” said Trey Fonde, CORDURA® Director of Global Business Development. “By leveraging INVISTA’s advanced thermally resistant nylon fiber technology and deep fabric expertise, we’ve developed a truly next-generation solution that delivers lasting durability, comfort, and value. Ultimately, it’s about enhancing safety outcomes while delivering tangible benefits to PPE manufacturers and end-users alike."

Attendees of the A+A show are invited to stop by the CORDURA® booth to meet the team and learn more about this exciting new development. Additional information about this new product can be found here: https://cordura.com/comfortfr
