Mining & Extraction

Ultra-durable fabric for underground & open-pit operations

Underground mines, open-pit operations and mineral extraction sites put fabric through extreme abrasion and rock dust, and frequently require high-visibility marking on top of durability. XM Textiles’ industrial-clothing fabrics are built for this duty cycle, with FR and hi-vis certified options where the site requires them.
