Launched in May 2010, TECGEN SELECT® Brand Flame Resistant Garments were awarded “New Product of The Year” by OH&S Magazine for their light weight, breathability, and moisture-wicking capabilities. The fabric utilizes the patented TECGEN® Fiber, which has exceptional flame resistance and thermal protection. When woven with other inherently FR fibers, TECGEN SELECT® Brand Fabric provides advanced levels of safety and comfort.

AWARD-WINNING FR TECHNOLOGY

Flame-Resistant clothing has long been considered heavy to wear, which leaves the wearer uncomfortable and venerable to heat-related illness. TECGEN SELECT® Brand Fabric, at 5.5 ounces per square yard, is the perfect solution to this problem. Compared to most fabric options with the same level of protection, TECGEN SELECT® is over 20% lighter weight without sacrificing protection. TECGEN SELECT® has an ATPV of 8.9 cal/cm2.

The air permeability, also referred to as breathability, of legacy FR fabrics traditionally have been unbalanced. While cotton-based FR fabrics achieve low air permeability that restrict air flow to the wearer’s body, other inherently flame resistant fabrics provide extremely high breathability that leave wearers too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. TECGEN SELECT® 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 other FR fabrics, TECGEN SELECT® provides exceptional moisture-wicking capability to keep workers dry throughout the day. Cotton-based FR absorbs moisture from the skin very well but can be slow to evaporate sweat. Traditional inherent fabrics offer little or no moisture-absorbing capabilities. Using a blend of hydrophilic and hydrophobic inherently flame resistant fibers, TECGEN SELECT® removes sweat from the wearer’s skin and evaporates it quickly to keep workers dry and comfortable.

Wear Tests

OIL & GASTECGEN SELECT® is the preferred FR garment choice for oil and gas industry workers. While many FR fabrics on the market today pass the standard for flash fire protection per NFPA 2112, TECGEN SELECT® exceeds the standard, offering a low 26% body burn percentage which surpasses the protection levels provided by traditional inherent flame resistant fabrics. And of course, this superior protection is offered without sacrificing comfort with TECGEN SELECT’s® patented moisture-wicking fiber blend. If your company values reducing the severity of flash fire injuries and increasing worker comfort, TECGEN SELECT® is protection done right.

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 heard from them to describe the FRC they’ve worn in the past. TECGEN SELECT® is currently the lightest weight fabric on the market to exceed the protection level set forth by NFPA 70E HRC2. At only 5.5 ounces per square yard and an ATPV of 8.9 cal/cm2, 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®

ELECTRIC UTILITYWith the recent changes to the National Electric Safety Code, power generation and T&D organizations are learning more and more about new fabrics to increase safety without adding a higher risk of heat-related illness. TECGEN SELECT® not only is the lightest weight shirt to offer a protection level above 8 cal/cm2, but is also 50% more breathable than traditional cotton-based FR fabrics. Along with TECGEN SELECT’s® added comfort and protection comes durability. Whether your teams are in the plant or in the bucket, TECGEN SELECT® provides 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 everyone always says that their 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

“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

“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

“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

“TECGEN® is the lightest-weight fire resistant material available, according to Rogers. The material has an added benefit of being moisture-wicking, meaning it wicks sweat away from the skin. “It’s not just fire resistant; it’s also a uniform material people actually want to wear.”

-Sun Gazette Interview with Jody Rogers (Rogers Uniforms)

“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
