BENEFITS OF 6.5 OZ. INTERLOCK™ FABRIC VS. OTHER FR FABRICS IN THE MARKETPLACE• Increased comfort - the 80% cotton gives the feel and comfort of an all cotton garment because the cotton is blended with the warp and filling yarns allowing for a cotton feel both inside and out.
• Equal or similar flame resistant properties - Interlock™ cotton fabrics are treated with a durable FR chemical treatment that lock the flame resistant properties in the fabric. Fabrics treated with this process were tested after 100 washings and showed no loss in FR
properties with a char length of 2.0" to 2.5".
• Color retention - Interlock™ 80/20 blend fabrics possesses superior color retention when compared to other FR fabrics.
• Reduced costs - with increased comfort and FR properties, the XFire™ by TRU-SPEC® Interlock™ fabric has a 20-30% savings over
Defender M and other FR fabrics.
• Durability - The 80% FR treated cotton of the XFire™ Interlock™ fabric is a naturally durable fabric that does not need to be mixed with other fibers to increase the durability of the material and loses none of it’s inherent thermal protection in the process.
• Shrinkage - in independant tests Defender M shrank 5.0% in length and 4.3% in width while Interlock™ fabric shrank 2.9% in length and showed virtually no shrinkage in width giving Interlock™ a better overall shrinkage rate.
