For a wide range of applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our combined laboratory capabilities and expertise support innovation for a wide range of applications ranging from sports and active wear to PPE for fire, chemical and particulate protection. We can evaluate the comfort or protective performance of fabrics, protective apparel, gloves, boots and headwear using standard and customized testing capabilities, many of which can only be found in our laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivering on knowledge generation, education and service<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working with industry partners, with input from end users, to develop prototypes of garments PPE for firefighters and other first responders is a core research and service mission. Our research projects have led to the development of new test methods and they have contributed to standardization of these methods as ASTM, NFPA or ISO standards. Students participate with specially trained professional staff and faculty in projects that require application of advanced comfort and\/or measurement systems. Examples of recent research projects and publications can be found<\/p>\n\n\n
