Why is being 100% FR important?

Being 100% dedicated to solely FR means Westex and Workrite focus all their research and development efforts and processes on making high-quality flame-resistant products–and they always have. Keeping up-to-date with ever-changing regulation and industry standards is a core competency factor for both Westex and Workrite to ensure their products represent the latest in safety solutions.

What does "guaranteed flame resistant for the life of the garment" mean?

This guarantee means that the fabric will retain its FR properties throughout multiple washings and wearings for the life of the garment. Westex guarantees that the flame resistance will last the life of the garment–a standard that all Workrite garments meet.

An FR coverall needs to allow for a full range of motion on the job. Workrite uses a deeper pleat on the back of coveralls to give workers critical freedom of movement, maintaining worker safety and comfort.
