Cut-Tex® PRO is without question the best slash proof fabric in the world.Cut-Tex® PRO is a truly high performance slash proof fabric developed following thousands of cut and slash related injuries at all sorts of different workplaces around the world.One particular group of men and women at risk are the ones who protect and serve our countries, and this include especially all homeland security professionals, such as law enforcement and correctional officers.Following extensive research and testing, Cut-Tex® PRO, a tested and certified ISO 13997:1999 blade slash proof fabric level 5 material (the highest possible) and ASTM F-1790 blade cut resistance level 4 fabric was introduced to the public about two years ago.Cut-Tex® PRO is now being used to create slash proof fabric for law enforcement and prison officers, emergency services, private security and public transport professionals, as well as bite resistant arm guards for professionals working within mental health care and psychiatric facilities. Cut-Tex® PRO lined uniforms or tactical apparel will offer an approximately 400% higher level of cut protection. If the goal is to offer the wearer the best possible cut protection from real threats such as knives, blades and specially engineered cutting/slashing weapons then Cut-Tex® PRO is more or less the only ultimate choice.Another very important point is that Kevlar will deteriorate during the washing processes. However, our test reports clearly prove that Cut-Tex® PRO will offer an even higher level of cut protection following 10 industrial washes, which equals around 60 domestic washes.Performance Levels:ISO 13997:1999 Blade Cut Resistance Level 5: 27.6 Newton ASTM F-1790 Blade Cut Resistance Level 4: 2, 580 grams forceEN 388:2003 Tear Resistance Level 4: 398.5 NewtonEN 388:2003 Abrasion Resistance Level 4: +8, 000 Cycles400% higher cut resistance than Kevlar
