The Indura® brand name was derived from "industrial (wash) durability," and was engineered to retain its FR properties for the life of the garment. Since Westex® introduced it in 1987, millions of garments made from Indura® have been part of protective clothing programs worldwide. Indura® continues to be popular among workers in the metal industry, and contractors seeking out FR protective clothing. Indura® is light, comfortable and breathable, yet protective. According to the European standard, the EN ISO 11612, Indura® provides excellent molten iron splash resistance. It also provides protection from other hazards such as electric arc, flash fire, and welding exposures. Since Indura® is 100% cotton, it lends itself well to secondary protective garments such as coveralls, pants, button-down shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, denim jeans, and light jackets. It is available in a large variety of colors.
