SSM Industries, Inc., Rolls Out World's First

    SPRING CITY, TN, October 20, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tennessee-based SSM Industries, Inc., produces 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.

Summit Work Apparel Vice President, Alan Habash, recently stated, "The application of wicking technology has been used in the athletic apparel industry and now SSM has brought this same technology to the flame resistant world. This cotton fabric is comfortable and breathable and our customers are responding."

The industry was calling for more comfortable options in safety apparel. SSM Industries moved quickly to create a comfortable moisture management fabric. 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.

The electrical utility, electrical maintenance, petro-chemical industry and fire service users have all taken note of this first of its kind, flame resistant cotton fabric. SSM's line of flame resistant cotton, Pro-CFR + TransDRY, will provide comfort, brilliant color options and high arc ratings to industry users.
