Overview
Designed for protective outerwear used in demanding industrial environments, this three-layer hardshell fabric combines a flame-retardant outer shell with a visible anti-static grid, a membrane layer and a flame-retardant knitted backing. Its construction brings together protection against thermal hazards, electric arc exposure and wet conditions within a single fabric system.
The polyester/carbon outer shell and modacrylic/cotton inner layer provide a defined material structure for buyers evaluating multi-norm protective garments. Performance has been assessed through a range of fabric-level tests, with suitability for finished garments depending on garment design, construction and applicable certification requirements.
Performance & Standards
This three-layer protective fabric has been evaluated for flame resistance, thermal hazards, electric arc exposure, electrostatic properties, limited liquid chemical protection and wet-weather performance. Selected fabric-level test results are summarised below.

Testing Notes
Results are drawn from the supplier’s technical specification dated 5 May 2025, incorporating third-party laboratory and internal testing. Many reported tests used 15 washing cycles as pretreatment; conditions vary by method. Results apply to tested materials and colours, not automatically to every colourway or finished garment. Garment-level compliance and certification require separate assessment.
Applications
Potential Applications
This three-layer fabric may be considered for protective outerwear designed for industrial workplaces where flame resistance, electrostatic properties and protection against wet conditions are important selection requirements.
Potential applications include:
- Flame-retardant protective jackets and outerwear for industrial maintenance, utilities and other workplaces involving thermal hazards.
- Multi-norm protective rainwear for workers requiring a combination of flame-retardant performance and protection against wet weather.
- Protective outer layers for electrical and utility workwear where fabric-level electric arc performance is relevant to garment selection.
- High-visibility protective outerwear using suitable tested colourways, subject to the visibility requirements of the intended garment design.
Material Selection Considerations
The suitability of this fabric should be evaluated against the hazards, performance requirements and construction details of the intended garment.
- Hazard assessment: Identify the specific thermal, electrical, electrostatic, chemical splash and weather-related hazards before selecting a fabric.
- Garment construction: Seams, closures, linings, trims and other components may affect the performance of the finished protective garment.
- Colour selection: High-visibility test results relate to specified tested colours and should not be assumed to apply to every available colourway.
- Layering and comfort: Consider garment design, intended activity, environmental conditions and the effect of additional clothing layers on wearer comfort and protection.
- Testing and compliance: Confirm the applicable requirements for the finished garment. Fabric-level test results do not constitute garment certification.
For specific end-use requirements, buyers are encouraged to review the relevant technical data and discuss material selection with JOY P&D before finalising garment development.
