Manufacturers of equipment for firefighters
understand the brutal environment in which their products will be used.
Components must be able to withstand exposure to extreme heat and flame as
outlined by the NFPA. At Sturges, we have invested in the
specialized equipment to perform in-house testing and using documented
procedures, we test and certify to various sections of NFPA 1981, 2002 and NFPA
1971, 2000. We believe this is an essential part
of our commitment to ensure that everything we ship to the Fire Fighting
industry will indeed perform as expected.
Outside the firefighting area there
are a multitude of applications for high temperature
webbings using aramid fibers such as Kevlar® and Nomex®.
Refer to the Engineered
Webbing Chart for additional information. We welcome
the opportunity to develop and test a sample made to meet
your requirements.
