ATLANTA, GA - TenCate SouthernMills, in launching the Peak Performance System, is raising its tradition of fabric expertise and product innovation to an even higher standard by answering a critical need. All that stands between firefighters and disaster is the fabric in their turnout gear. Choosing the best combination of fabrics has always been a daunting process, until now.
With the Peak Performance System, TenCate SouthernMills eliminates the guesswork. This unique concept brings the best materials together in fabric systems that make no compromise in protection or quality.
The Peak Performance System guides you to the best performing fabrics utilized in firefighters’ three essential layers of protection:
(1) MILLENIA™ XT and GEMINI® with MATRIX™ Technology -- The toughest outer shells made from our technologically advanced protective fabrics which provide the fire service industry with superior thermal performance before and after exposure and outstanding strength against tear and abrasion;
(2) The leading moisture barriers from GORE® are designed to keep firefighters dry and protect them from penetration by hazardous liquids, such as chemicals and body fluids. The legendary breathability of this fabric reduces heat stress by wicking away heat and vapor.
(3) And TenCate SouthernMills’ revolutionary, new thermal barrier QUANTUM3D™ which takes thermal barrier technology to an entirely new level with a proprietary, patent-pending process that provides higher thermal efficiency and insulation while enhancing ease of movement.
Now the Peak Performance System helps fire departments specify the highest performing materials on the market today--combining the toughest outer shells with the leading moisture barrier and a revolutionary new thermal barrier--for the best protection money can buy.
