IBQ-FXP-006: an FR booster for multiple applications
In professional protection, a technical fabric must do much more than resist.
Garments used in industry, workwear, emergency response, or military applications need to combine protection, durability and freedom of movement, avoiding adding unnecessary weight or rigidity.
In professional protection, a technical fabric must do much more than resist.
Garments used in industry, workwear, emergency response, or military applications need to combine protection, durability and freedom of movement, avoiding adding unnecessary weight or rigidity.
IBQ-FXP-006 It has been developed precisely to meet this challenge: a high-performance bi-stretch FR fabric designed to function as booster or as the main material in demanding applications.
PROTECTION AND MOBILITY IN THE SAME BUILDING
IBQ-FXP-006 is a multi-protection fabric of 340 g/m² which combines inherent flame resistance, antistatic behavior, high abrasion resistance, water repellency and bidirectional elasticity.
Its composition brings together five fibers with complementary functions:
44.5 % Modacrylic – inherent flame protection
33 % PA Cordura® – high abrasion resistance
19 % cotton – comfort and humidity management
3 % Lycra® – elasticity and mobility
0.5 % antistatic fiber – control of electrostatic discharges.
The result is a material designed to protect without restricting the user's movement.
DURABILITY FOR DEMANDING ENVIRONMENTS
An FR garment must also withstand daily wear and tear.
IBQ-FXP-006 reaches 250,000 Martindale abrasion cycles and offers up to 170 N tear resistance in warp and 180 N in weft.
Furthermore, its FR behavior is inherent, forming part of the fibers themselves and maintaining protection throughout the material's lifespan.
INDUSTRIAL WORKWEAR REINFORCEMENTS FR
One of its main applications is in trousers and work clothes used in industrial environments with thermal risk.
IBQ-FXP-006 can be incorporated into knees, elbows, pockets, seating areas, or points of contact with tools and equipment, providing additional strength where wear is greatest.
The bi-stretch construction allows these reinforced areas to continue to move with the worker without becoming rigid points within the garment.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND FIREFIGHTERS
In garments intended for emergency professionals, mobility is especially important.
Bending over, climbing, carrying equipment, or working in complex positions subjects certain areas of the garment to continuous flexing and wear.
IBQ-FXP-006 can be used as FR reinforcement in high-stress areas, Combining mechanical strength, inherent flame resistance, and elasticity within a single construction. Its technical documentation includes Emergency Response among its target applications.
REINFORCEMENTS FOR WORKWEAR TROUSERS
Another particularly relevant application is the localized reinforcement of work trousers.
In this type of garment, not all areas experience the same level of wear and tear. Knees, thighs, pockets, and areas that come into contact with surfaces or tools require superior durability.
Using IBQ-FXP-006 only at these points allows you to concentrate the resistance where it is really needed, keeping the rest of the garment lighter and more flexible.
Improved performance in high-wear areas.
MILITARY APPLICATIONS IN 3L FR CONSTRUCTION
The versatility of IBQ-FXP-006 also allows its features to be extended beyond traditional tailoring.
One of its applications is its integration into 3 Layer FR constructions for military utility vehicle panels.
In this case, the main challenge is combining FR properties and resistance with a particularly critical factor: reduce the weight of the system as much as possible.
The use of a technical textile solution allows the development of panels that are lighter than other traditional constructions, while maintaining the performance required for a demanding application.
ONE FABRIC. ENDLESS APPLICATIONS.
Industry.
Workwear.
Emergency response.
Military.
The applications change, but the need remains the same: to get protection, durability, mobility and efficiency within the same solution.
IBQ-FXP-006 demonstrates how a single fabric can adapt to different products and professional environments while maintaining a balanced combination of performance.
