Tencate fabrics for USMC
Inteletex, UK
The United States Marines Corps has selected TenCate Defender M - a newly-developed and patented flame resistant fabric.
Claimed by Tencate to be the most economical of the FR fabrics approved for military use, Defender M provides excellent protection and comfort to the wearer and is very durable, withstanding the rugged conditions in the field.
Defender M has been specifically designed to provide comfort, durability and outstanding burn protection at a significantly lower cost than existing FR fabric options, said TenCate. Since combat soldiers do not at present wear FR garments, the market is expected to increase substantially.
According to the US Marine Corps, the TenCate Defender M material has had a direct impact on the lives of many Marines and Sailors engaged in combat.
The United States Marine Corps stated: “TenCate Protective Fabric’s exceptional ability, initiative, and dedication to the Defender fabric used in the Flame Resistant Combat Ensembles for the FROG program reflect great credit upon the company and are in keeping with the highest industry standards.”
Earlier this year Tencate Protective Fabrics received new orders from the US military worth as much as $64 million for Defender M fabrics.
