CarbonX®, the FR fabric will be demonstrated on the Outdoor Channel’s “MOTOR MANIA” tonight at Monday, November 3rd at 4:30pm or 9:00pm EST (see local listings). They will demonstrate CarbonX® versus their leading competitor on a mannequin in a full gas fire.
A mannequin, outfitted in a 50/50 split garment – one half CarbonX®, the other half a well-know material in the racing market – will be set alight. Spectators will watch as the mannequin is doused with racing fuel, ignited and allowed to burn until the fuel has burned off.
CarbonX® fabric does not ignite, burn, char, shrink or significantly decompose when exposed to intense heat or flame, molten metal, or arc flash. CarbonX® is quite popular in the motor sports community but has not found favor in the Soldier Systems industry as it is not Berry compliant. For more information on CarbonX® go to Chapman Innovations.
