PROBAN® / FR-7A®
By Westex Inc.

Westex Proban®/FR-7A® fabrics have maintained broad based use primarily in the ferrous metal production or fabrication industries including numerous applications or welding in associated industries.Also widely used by utilities. The durability of flame resistance to either home washing at 140°F or industrial washes up to 165°F is evaluated in appropriate laboratory tests for samples from each lot ofWestex Proban/FR-7A fabric.Proban/FR-7A fabrics are certified by Westex to retain their original flame resistance through fifty (50) home washes or twenty-five (25) industrial washes under the conditions mentioned above. These fabrics should not be bleached with hypochlorite (chlorine) bleaches because repeated bleaching not only may remove the finish, but will be destructive to the fabric and its color.
