In the petrochemical industry fire is an ever-present danger. While refineries and chemical plants are designed with safety in mind, providing workers with additional protection against the potential hazard of heat and flame is critically important. The challenge has been to provide highly protective work-wear that is comfortable, durable, and practical. That challenge has now been answered. The revolutionary PBI TriGuard(TM), now available in colors, is a new advanced breed of protective fabric tough enough to stand up to the demands of the petrochemical industry.

What’s your flash fire-protection worth? In a word, it’s priceless. However, a protective fabric must take into account the fabric’s use and acceptability in real world applications. PBI Gold and TriGuard(TM) offer improvements in protection and comfort for gas utility workers. PBI fiber performance properties provide superior flame resistance, comfort and durability over other protective fibers. In natural gas flash tests, PBI gave more protection than conventional protective fabrics, including higher flame resistance and a reduction in body burn potential. Utility workers who need flame and heat protection will appreciate the excellent protection, wear ability, and comfort of PBI Gold and TriGuard garments.

Electric Utilities: NFPA 70E Level 1 & 2 and EN 50354 class 1 & 2 Compliant. As an electrical professional what’s your fire-protection clothing worth? In a word, it’s priceless. In the electrical industry, protection and comfort are key to safe working conditions. Men and women who work with electrical power need the very best in protective clothing. Workers who are at risk of an arc flash face multiple hazards and need the best possible protective apparel to prevent serious injury. PBI Gold® and TriGuard™ offer that and more. PBI’s high arc thermal performance and heat attenuation values provide excellent insulation against flame and arc burns. In addition, PBI will not ignite and will resist break open when exposed to heat or flame. Economically priced and manufactured for long wear-life, PBI TriGuard is a brilliant blend of enduring value and lasting protection. PBI Gold set the standard. Both are lightweight comfort and heavyweight protection you cannot afford to be without.

Electrical Maintenance: NFPA 70E Level 1 & 2 and EN 50354 class 1 & 2 Compliant. In addition to physically demanding work, electrical maintenance personnel in the industrial industry are faced with various hazardous work conditions. The ability to move freely, to act and react precisely, is sometimes critical. Uncomfortable protective clothing increases stress, and diminishes concentration, productivity and efficiency. Lightweight PBI TriGuard™ is softer, more flexible and more absorbent than fabrics made solely with conventional Aramids. TriGuard provides greater thermal protection against electric arc hazards, reduces heat stress, and improves comfort; and it does it at a most affordable price.
