A Legacy of Innovation in Flame-Resistant Protection
Our long history began 70 years ago with the invention of the PROBAN® process based on natural fibers. Our journey continues today as we play a pivotal role in protecting millions of lives worldwide through solutions engineered for flame-resistant (FR) clothing.
SNF offers customers across various industries technical solutions for manufacturing comfortable, durable, flame-resistant workwear, ranging from lightweight to insulated. With PROBAN® technology at the core of FR garments, workers in high-risk environments — including oil and gas, electrical utilities, metalworking, steel, chemicals, and industrial applications — can feel confident in their safety and comfort.
PROBAN® workwear can withstand arc-flash and molten-metal splash, and it delivers flash-fire protection.
Because safety is our absolute priority, we understand the critical need to ensure protective clothing is carefully selected and worn properly. Our committed teams are dedicated to assisting customers in managing their protective clothing programs worldwide
High Standards for Your Peace of Mind
We are the only company to provide independently accredited quality control, which enables garment traceability back to the textile’s manufacturing location and compliance with international standards. Our high standards provide peace of mind to purchasers and wearers alike. While we operate on a global scale, our network of core partners meets the needs of local markets in more than 100 countries, providing coast-to-coast solutions across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
Behind the scenes, SNF’s ISO 17025-accredited labs in the United Kingdom test and profile several million samples every year to verify flame-resistant performance. Every meter of PROBAN® fabric delivers unquestionable FR performance and unparalleled protection to workforces worldwide.
It’s simple. If an article of flame-resistant clothing carries our label and name, it carries our performance promise: PROBAN® is engineered to work as hard as you do while providing safety and peace of mind. This commitment to safety is deeply personal, as our own employees rely on the performance of PROBAN® flame-resistant fabrics when wearing their own workwear. Nothing is more important than getting those who wear PROBAN® garments safely back home to their families, day in and day out.
