The Holiday Gift of Workplace Safety

    SPRING CITY, TN, December 29, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tennessee-based SSM Industries, Inc., works hard every day to protect people and assets. SSM Industries, Inc. is proud of the innovative products introduced in 2012, as we look forward to an outstanding and productive 2013.

In 2012, SSM introduced customers to the world's first flame resistant, moisture management, antimicrobial cotton fabric. This carefully engineered fabric, Pro-CFR + TransDRY was created for use in the industrial, military, fire service and racing markets. Safety professionals benefit from this new fabric that combines three technologies, Pro-CFR Flame Resistant Cotton, TransDRY Moisture Management Technology and Antimicrobial/Anti-odor technologies. These technologies provide comfortable protection in one fabric with moisture management for faster drying. The TransDRY Technology is engineered into the fabric and, like the flame resistance and antimicrobial technology, will not wash out. Combined, these three technologies continually keep the user comfortable and protected.

SSM Industries, Inc. also introduced PRO-CFR 12 CAL, the industries' lightest weight flame resistant cotton fabric to achieve an Arc Thermal Protection Value (ATPV) of 12 cal/cm2. PRO-CFR 12 CAL is a 6.25 osy fabric, made in the USA, flame resistant cotton knit fabric with a 12 calorie arc rating. This fabric innovation offers an increased measure of safety and comfort.
A single layer clothing solution with a 12 cal/cm2 ATPV rating is helping to meet an industry need. SSM Industries developed the fabric with the most protection, offering the highest level of comfort resulting from the lightest weight. Layering flame resistant clothing has been the traditional method for reaching a desired arc rating to protect against arc flash injuries. This layering method has been costly. SSM Industries, Inc. introduced a light weight, flame resistant cotton knit product, in a single layer fabric option, available in many colors.

SSM Industries, Inc., founded in 1982, is a full service safety and protective fabric manufacturer. Spinning, Knitting, Weaving, Dyeing and Finishing all take place under one roof. SSM's daily mission is to develop better ways of protecting people and assets. This important mission will continue in 2013.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and safe and happy holidays. For information, contact: Customer Service at [email protected].
