Primary vs. Secondary Protection
Emergency services differ greatly from industrial safety. The level of risk involved is much higher, as the degree of heat is higher, as well as the time of exposure. FR fabrics used in industrial safety areas, whether for protection against sudden fire or electric arc, are not suitable for use in primary protection uniforms, such as those required for firefighting.
In these uniforms it is necessary to use 4 layers: outer layer, waterproof and breathable membrane, thermal barrier, and inner lining. These components work together to provide maximum protection, weather resistance, and comfort.
In their relentless search for improvements, Santanense has partnered with the best and most innovative producers of fibers and chemicals in the world, to offer greater protection to firefighters and rescue and emergency teams. Whether with innovative fabrics for the outer layer of combat clothing, or with fire-resistant fabrics for plainclothes uniforms, our goal is to protect life.
