BASF Corporation manufactures BASOFILT HEAT AND FLAME-RESISTANT FIBER, which imparts superior heat

BASF Corporation manufactures BASOFILT HEAT AND FLAME-RESISTANT FIBER, which imparts superior heat blocking and extraordinary flame resistance for firefighter protective apparel. Turnout gear made with Basofil outershell fabric can provide a thermal protective performance (TPP) rating that is 40 percent higher than the NFPA requirement, substantially higher than the TPP provided by the most widely accepted turnouts available today. Basofil fiber`s high TPP rating also makes it particularly suitable for thermal liners, safety blankets, and lighter weight knit hoods. Simply put, Basofil fiber blocks heat better. Basofil is a registered trademark of BASF AG.
