PBI CHOSEN AS BEST SOLUTION BY ICP

PBI Gold outer shell fabric has been chosen by Firebuy as the preferred solution after extensive testing during the Integrated Clothing Project (ICP). Bristol Uniform's PBI ensemble was chosen after detailed and comprehensive testing (see Firebuy test results). Bristol's winning solution is available through Firebuy in 205 gram/metre PBI Ripstop.

PBI offers the best protection, comfort, and durability than any other outer shell available in the market today. These are the properties that the ICP testing confirmed. PBI's superior breakopen protection when exposed to heat and flame is easily demonstrated by a full mannequin burn.

The history of PBI in the UK goes back to 1989, when Staffordshire chose PBI outer shell fabric for their fire kit. In 1994, Grampian FB became the first UK brigade to use PBI Gold, the natural color of PBI fabric. Since then, PBI has been chosen by a significant number of UK brigades, including the MOD, all the Scottish Fire and Rescue Services, North Wales, and all Northeast, North West and South East FRA's.

PBI and Bristol have a long history of success with brigades all over Great Britain, and Bristol distributors throughout the world offer PBI as their premium outer shell solution. Firebuy's decision to choose PBI from Bristol was based on remarkably superior mannequin burn results, wear trial comfort, and the long standing track record of PBI's superior flame resistance. PBI will not burn, melt, shrink or become brittle when exposed to high heat or flame.

PBI is the number one choice for PPE flame protection in North America, and just as the ICP testing has proven, its superior performance has made PBI the first choice of fire brigades all over the world. PBI Performance Products, Inc. is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has offices in Derby, England, Regensburg, Germany and Hong Kong, as well as sales personnel in Switzerland and Spain.
