KANOX® AD02RP

KANOX AD02RP

KANOX AD02RP, a groundbreaking fabric renowned for its exceptional durability and performance in firefighting gear. While its colors may not boast the same vibrancy as those achieved through piece-dyeing, KANOX AD02RP more than compensates with its unparalleled mechanical strength, safeguarding firefighters from sharp wreckage with ease. Unlike piece-dyed fabrics, which can compromise mechanical integrity, KANOX AD02RP maintains its robustness, ensuring optimal tear and tensile strength.

But that's not all – KANOX AD02RP goes above and beyond with its impressive abrasion resistance, heat absorption capabilities, and antistatic properties. This multifaceted fabric is the ideal choice for a wide range of firefighting applications, including structural firefighting gear, wildland firefighting suits, rescue gear, and even the outer shells of firefighter gloves and boots.

In our pursuit of excellence, we've integrated KANOX AD02RP as the outer shell of SUPER PREMIUM – the pinnacle of high-specification firefighting suits. With KANOX AD02RP at its core, SUPER ARMOR PREMIUM Firefighting Suit sets the standard for safety, durability, and performance in the most demanding firefighting environments.

KANOX® AD02RP has more than 50% para-aramid inside, providing high tear strength, tensile strength, thermal stability, and superior abrasion resistance. Due to these properties, KANOX AD02RP is an excellent choice for firefighting gloves and boots to replace traditional leather material or combine with leather. Flame resistant properties are built right into the fabric and never wash out. Antistatic performance is also integrated due to oxidized fibers blended.

Available colors are Navy Blue, Sapphire Blue, Red, Yellow, Orange, and Khaki, suitable to do bi-color designs for garments.
