PBI products are trusted around the world to keep people safe in some of the most extreme situations. Their high levels of flame resistance, durability and comfort make PBI fabrics the first choice of protection for firefighters, the military, Formula 1 drivers, as well as NASA's astronauts. PBI offers a wide range of fabric choice to best suit the needs of end users, but all of them retain the generic properties that are fundamental to the product's consistent high performance standards. All PBI fabrics are inherently fame resistant and this will not diminish over time, hard wear or washing. They will not become brittle, shrink or break open and are soft, lightweight and breathable, providing very high levels of comfort and protection, which allows more time to escape from intense fires. PBI takes the responsibility of protecting responders seriously and operates a regime of continuous independent testing to ensure that all PBI products do the job they are designed for. That is why they are so highly valued by customers around the world.
