NASHVILLE, Tennessee., November 4, 2021 / PRNewswire / – Bulwark, the world’s largest flame retardant (FR) brand, celebrates 50 years of innovation this month.

During this time, we have pioneered all breakthroughs in flame retardant clothing and have tirelessly championed workers in the oil, gas and electric utilities. We don’t just do FRs. We are FR. “

• 2007: Bulwark introduces the only ANSI FR shirt available to ensure workers are both safe and visible.
• 2011: Bulwark launches the lightest CAT 2 / NFPA® 2112 complaint garments on the market that were lighter and more comfortable to wear, thus reducing heat stress.
• 2014: Bulwark launches iQ® Series, bringing performance sportswear properties to FR and maximizing airflow to keep the wearer dry and comfortable.

• 2021: Bulwark becomes independent property.

“Our commitment to moving the industry forward has inspired others to join us in continuous improvement and innovation,” said Grimes. “We’ve overcome barriers of comfort, style and durability with better fabrics, sleeker fits and smarter features to transform something you have wear in something you want to carry.”

Bulwark has trained more than 50,000 security professionals on the dangers they face and how the protection they wear can save their lives. Bulwark researchers visit field workers to learn about their extreme working conditions and gather feedback to continually improve their work clothes.
