100% D59 Flame and Acid retardant fabric
For decades, industrial sectors including mining, petrochemicals, oil & gas, and chemical utilities have faced dual daily risks: sudden flash fire hazards and accidental acid/alkali splashes. Ordinary cotton or synthetic workwear fails to shield workers from both threats at once. That’s where 100% D59 flame and acid retardant fabric steps in — the iconic South African-origin protective textile crafted to balance robust dual hazard protection, natural cotton comfort, and long-lasting industrial durability, certified to global and Southern African safety standards.
The upgraded Flame & Acid D59 variant was developed to address overlapping workplace dangers, quickly becoming the preferred base fabric for safety uniforms across Africa and global hazardous work environments.
