Milliken’s history as an FR fabric manufacturer began in the 1940s, working with the U.S. military to protect our soldiers overseas. From that time forward, we have continued to be at the forefront of the FR textiles industry. We make flame retardant uniforms and workwear for firefighters, electrical workers, and welders. Our mattress barriers protect you at home. Combat and defense personnel rely on Milliken military-grade FR protection. Our fire-resistant products for the building industry protect construction workers — and then the people who live and work in the houses and offices they build. How far does our R&D go? Milliken has tested FR technology on the International Space Station. Our curiosity put us in orbit.
Our FR textiles are designed and certified for high-risk operations like structural firefighting and wildland fire services. And we also make FR fabrics for station wear so firefighters can unwind afterward in comfort.
Durable enough to withstand temperatures approaching 35,000°F, Westex by Milliken arc flash protection fabrics will self-extinguish when the arc flash event is over, and insulate against second degree burns through the fabric.
Westex by Milliken is a leading manufacturer of the heavyweight flame-resistant cotton fabrics used by the steel industry as protective clothing against splash, radiant heat, and flame sources.
Military-Grade Protection for Combat and Defense Situations
We make a wide range of military-grade, fire-resistant combat fabrics, which provide critical FR protection without sacrificing comfort. Our fabric constructions and patented finishing technology offer proven protection against heat and flame.
