TECGEN® FIBER
 

TECGEN® bi-regional fiber
The Key to Protection
and Performance
TECGEN® fiber is a patented*, Bi-regional fiber with unique heat protection capabilities. It features a high density carbonaceous shell, which provides protection from radiant heat, and an acrylic core that allows the fiber to maintain good textile properties. The beauty of TECGEN® fiber is that the fiber can be blended or spun into normal textiles, unlike carbon fibers described as OPF.
