There is no question that only the best materials are used for Rosenbauer products. The secret of the FIRE FLEX, however, lies above all in the composition and structure of the material layers as well as in the fabric composition.
FIRE FLEX: resilient, durable and modern
The materials used guarantee durability and longevity.
In particular, the outer materials are characterized by extremely high mechanical performance properties. When it comes to tensile strength, the X55 outer material with PBI achieves eight times the performance required by the EN 469 standard. In terms of tear propagation resistance, it exceeds the minimum requirements many times over.
All additional equipment such as gloves, helmet and boots are perfectly coordinated with the new FIRE FLEX.
PTFE high-performance membrane
The FIRE FLEX has an innovative material structure. The PTFE membrane is characterized by the highest level of breathability, with enormous heat-resistance and watertightness. Thanks to the sophisticated fabric structure in combination with the PTFE membrane, the moisture is very quickly transported away from the body to the outside, and therefore no heat build-up occurs.
With the specific fabric structure, a water vapor permeation resistance value far below the permissible standard value in the highest performance class is achieved in the Ret-Test (Resistance to Evaporating Heat Transfer).
The PTFE membrane is certified to be virus- and bacteria-proof, and provides optimum protection when in contact with injured persons.
Safety thermal lining
The FIRE FLEX uses an insulating-yet-breathable safety thermal lining that provides optimal protection against external influences, even in extreme conditions. The melamine resin aramide fleece lining with quilted cover made of aramide viscose blended fabric meets the high material requirements.
