Industry FR fabric solutions

Oil & Gas

Certified protection across upstream, midstream & downstream

Offshore platforms, refineries and petrochemical facilities combine several hazards at once — flash fire, electric arc, and chemical splash. XM FireLine fabrics are certified across all three exposures, so a single fabric selection can satisfy the safety case for an entire site rather than mixing garments per hazard.
