UK Firm Manufactures The World's Best Cut, Slash And Bite Resistant Clothing And Fabric
PPSS Body Armour, a UK-based manufacturer of bespoke knife, bite and slash resistant clothing, has developed world-beating slash resistant clothing using their recently developed high performance blade cut-resistant level 5 fabric, Cut-Tex PRO.
Cut-Tex PRO - which is no thicker than a normal T-Shirt - is a groundbreaking combination of high-tenacity, high-modulus polyethylene fibres - combined with several other "technical fibres" - weaved by special high-density knitting machines, resulting in outstanding slash resistant fabric.
The company, which produces body armour for clients around the globe, says its Cut-Tex PRO is the world's best, which is reinforced by passing the stringent British Standard and European blade cut resistance standard BS EN 388:2003 6.2 Level 5 – the highest level possible for textiles and protective gloves.
The CEO of PPSS, Robert Kaiser, said: "The potential applications for our world-beating knife, bite and slash resistant material is endless. Already there has been a huge amount of interest in Cut-Tex PRO locally, nationally and internationally.
"PPSS specialises in developing unique, bespoke garments for local government, law enforcement, emergency services, prison service, hospital staff, schools and private security companies around the world.
"With Cut-Tex PRO, we now have a material that is incredibly lightweight and breathable, and we have been able to develop the following items of protective clothing, all using this new material:
- Slash resistant sweatshirts for one of the world's leading metal pressing companies
- Slash-resistant boiler suits and sleeves for high security mental health facilities
- Slash-resistant undergarments for private security professionals
- Slash-resistant work trousers for refuse collectors
"Level 5 is the highest level you can get for testing knife and slash resistant textiles or protective gloves. Cut-Tex PRO passed all the required tests with flying colours. We believe it is only a matter of time before our Cut-Tex PRO clothing saves a life."
Robert added: "‘Prevention is better than cure' and ‘better safe than sorry' are two sayings which make more sense within personal safety than anywhere else.
"Issuing knife, bite and slash resistant clothing can mean preventing potentially fatal injuries."
