What is Filament Twill Technology?
Filament Twill Technology, also referred to as FTT, was developed and trademarked by Safety Components and is most commonly used in protective and flame resistant garments. The technology can be found in outer shells like PBI Max™ and Armor AP™ and in thermal liners like Glide™.


 * 1) Filament Twill Technology is a way of designing fabric that involves the use of a twill weave that yields increased flexibility, mobility, and comfort (vs. the traditional rip-stop fabric weave — see chart data below).
 * 2) Filament Twill Technology is a way of constructing fabric with the use of DuPont™ Kevlar® filament, usually 20-50% Kevlar filament, in addition to spun yarns for added tear strength (vs. the traditional 90-100% spun yarn fabrics).

Comfort and Mobility
Comfort and improved mobility are critical because comfortable PPE is more likely to be worn properly: Comfort/Mobility=Safety. The comfort and mobility of fabrics made with Filament Twill Technology are immediately noticeable.

The Strength of Filament Twill Technology
100% Kevlar® filament yarns are over 2x stronger than Kevlar spun yarns. One result of DuPont™ Kevlar® filament in the fabric design is a significant increase in fabric strength both new and after exposure to UV (see chart data).
