Description
PBI® LP is the revolutionary new PBI® fiber that maximizes flame and open rupture resistance in ultra-lightweight intervention garments. The PBI® polymer chain has been reinforced, allowing us to create lighter garments, increasing flame and open rupture resistance. Its decomposition temperature is 815°C, and we have more than 50 seconds in the "Dynamic Flame Test" to reach fabric rupture. The FIREMAX® LP intervention model features this fiber in the outer fabric and weighs 180 g/m². It is accompanied by a Stedfast™ PTFE-bicomponent membrane on an aramid base. Its GLIDE® ICE inner lining, a blend of 60% para-aramid filament, 26% metaramid, and 14% FR viscose with a 60 g nonwoven barrier, forms the perfect element for maximum comfort and ease of use for our firefighters. It is the perfect balance between performance and comfort.
The continuous filament gives us the advantages of a sliding fabric with an MIU coefficient of friction less than 0.19 and an SMD roughness better than 5.
Furthermore, its viscose construction improves comfort, absorbs and transports moisture. It is air permeable, and its RET is less than 6 m² Pa/W.
We can say that we have achieved one of the lightest pieces of equipment on the market, with a comfortable inner lining that glides smoothly, is low in friction, has high permeability, and is highly wicking. Its easy mobility, low weight, sweat wicking, and excellent mechanical and thermal protection give this PPE features highly valued by firefighters.
Standard color: Gold (gold, the color of the fibers).

Applications
PPE consisting of a jacket and overpants intended to protect the user's entire body, except for the head, hands, and feet. It protects against hazards in firefighting operations and associated activities where there is a risk of heat and/or flames, and against the buildup of electrostatic charges to prevent incendiary discharges.
Jacket description
We adapt to the needs of our clients' budgets and needs.
2/4-length jacket, body constructed with a front and back yoke with two front and one back piece. The back is constructed with two symmetrical side pleats. Sleeves with preformed elbows and gusseted underarms ergonomically designed for fire service work. Elbow reinforcements with FR padded inner fabric and fire-resistant neoprene/Kevlar® at the cuffs. Fastens at the front with a double closure, using a heavy-duty, fire-resistant, top-open, double-slider, or single-zipper closure, concealed by a flap and Velcro.
The jacket features two Napoleon-style exterior pockets on both chests, an interior pocket on the left side parallel to the flap with a zipper for harness access, and two lower pockets with flaps and Velcro. A radio pocket and a flashlight pocket can be adapted.
The sleeve ends with a stretchy Nomex® knit cuff. The cuff features a thumb loop to prevent the garment from shifting.
The collar of the jacket is designed to protect the face and neck without hindering vision and movement.
The jacket incorporates 50 and 76 mm triple 3M™ reflective sewn or heat-welded and 50 mm grey 3M™ heat-welded on the front, back and sleeve.
The name of the Fire Department will be printed on the upper back in 3M™ reflective tape.
Description of the trouser cover
High-cut trouser cover, i.e., bib-style. It has the same layers as the jacket. The bib is long enough to provide at least 30 cm of overlap when worn with the
jacket. Gusseted crotch for increased mobility.
It features a fly with a fireproof zipper and a Velcro placket. The waist can be adjusted at the side with an outer fabric loop and Velcro.
Each leg has triple reflective tape around the bottom of each leg and on the outside of each leg, measuring 50 mm and/or 76 mm, from the 3M™ brand.
It features highly durable, adjustable, and quick-release elastic straps at the front and back for easy replacement.
The inner hem will be made of anti-chafing and moisture-wicking fabric to prevent water wicking. The outer hem will be reinforced with fire-resistant Kevlar®-based neoprene.
Preformed knee for increased mobility. The exterior features silicone-coated neoprene reinforcement on a 100% aramid knit base in black on the knees, with FR foam interior padding encapsulated in the same outer fabric to reduce pressure and impact on the wearer.
It has two patch pockets with a rear gusset and drains.
OPTION:
- Urban seat and restraint harness. Certified to EN 813 and EN 358. An upper section can also be added, which, together with the lower section, forms a fall-arrest harness compliant with EN 361.
