ATLANTA, GA - TenCate Protective Fabrics takes thermal barrier technology to an entirely new level with new QUANTUM3D™, a key component of the Peak Performance System.

Utilizing TenCate’s proprietary, patent-pending process, QUANTUM3D provides higher thermal efficiency and insulation, while enhancing ease of movement with greater flexibility.

For thermal protection, using standard outer shells, the QUANTUM3D TPP ratings per composite weight is 3 to 4 points higher and its TPP efficiency is 10 to 12 percent higher than the TenCate CALDURA® PLATINUM SL2 thermal barrier.

New QUANTUM3D provides maximum flexibility, reducing stiffness by 50 percent. Thin and lightweight at 7.7 oz/yd, QUANTUM3D also delivers unmatched comfort with its slick face cloth for easy on/off and Wickwell™ Plus technology that moves perspiration away from the body, dissipating moisture to relieve heat stress.

QUANTUM3D offers outstanding durability and wear life as well with excellent pilling resistance, maintaining integrity after laundering and abrasion.
