Fabrics

99% Polyester, 1% Carbon

AutoStat

Created specifically for use in automotive paint rooms, CritiCore’s AutoStat provides superior breathability while maintaining excellent resistance to paint. Made from a durable twill weave construction for contamination control and a 1% carbon grid, protecting autos and equipment from electrostatic energy.

100% Polyester

Fluid Barrier

CritiCore’s Fluid Barrier is exceptionally soft, durable, and fluid-resistant. The material’s high-density construction combats permeability and is treated with a finish specifically for fluid-resistance.

99% Polyester, 1% Carbon

ESD Barrier

Protect against ESD and fluid contamination with CritiCore’s ESD Barrier fabric. We’ve added an electrostatic dissipative component to our traditional Fluid Barrier fabric by embedding a carbon stripe into the material to create a barrier to nuisance static. Ideal for controlled environments where ESD and fluid contamination are a concern.

94% Polyester, 6% Carbon

ESD Knit

Count on CritiCore’s ESD Knit for static discharge control. Warp-knitted polyester coated with a highly dissipative 6% carbon grid. Despite the notable light weight, this material does not lack durability or protection compared to common heavier-weight options. Though not used in cleanrooms, this is frequently used for garments in the microelectronics industry.

65% Polyester, 35% Cotton

Polyester / Cotton 65/35

Polyester / Cotton 65/35 offers the endurance of polyester coupled with the comfort and breathability of cotton. This is a lighter alternative to Polyester / Cotton 80/20.

80% Polyester, 20% Cotton

Polyester / Cotton 80/20

Polyester / Cotton 80/20 offers the endurance of polyester coupled with the comfort and breathability of cotton. This is a heavier alternative to Polyester / Cotton 65/35.

100% Cotton

100% Cotton

100% Cotton is an excellent choice when comfort is key. This soft and lightweight fabric offers natural breathability and moisture wicking properties.

100% Polyester

100% Polyester

Strong, durable, and heavier-weight alternative to 100% Cotton. The heavier makeup of 100% Polyester is ideal for HACCP, providing a higher level of anti-microbial protection (opposed to cotton) by restricting permeability. Most frequently used for CritiCore’s food processing butcher coats.

100% Cotton

Flame-Resistant Cotton

Flame-Resistant Cotton is made from 100% cotton, treated with a flame-resistant finish. Guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment, engineered with technology designed to neutralize flames at the point of contact.

• NFPA70E Hazard Risk Category 1
• Arc Flash: ATPV rating 7.7 cal/cm2

100% Nomex

Flame-Resistant Nomex®

Improved breathability, long-lasting color, and a softer touch compared to other aramid fabrics, Flame-Resistant Nomex® is inherently durable and widely known for its flame-resistant capabilities.

• NFPA70E Hazard Risk Category 1
• Arc Flash: ATPV rating 7.2 cal/cm2

99% Nomex, 1% Carbon

Filament Nomex®

Ideal for cleanrooms and controlled environments with stringent guidelines is Filament Nomex®. Inherently flame-retardant, static dissipative, and very durable with a ripstop weave construction. Composed of non-linting continuous filament fibers and a 1% carbon grid for electrostatic dissipation, Filament Nomex® is rare in its ability to meet both NFPA70E and IEST RP-CC003.4.

• NFPA70E Hazard Risk Category 1
• Rated for ISO Class 5+ Cleanrooms
• Arc Flash: ATPV rating 5.3 cal/cm2

98% Polyester, 2% Carbon

ESD Cleanroom Grid

Densely woven filament polyester with a 2% carbon grid. Engineered to restrict particulates in cleanroom environments, this non-linting fabric provides excellent ESD properties at a competitive price point. Rated for ISO Class 5 Cleanrooms and above, ESD Cleanroom Grid is commonly used in pharmaceutical, microelectronic, and semiconductor cleanrooms.

• Rated for ISO Class 5+ Cleanrooms

99% Polyester, 1% Carbon

ESD Cleanroom Stripe

Made with a high-density construction for fluid and bacteria resistance, while containing a 1% carbon stripe to promote static dissipation. ESD Cleanroom Stripe is non-linting and engineered to restrict particulates in various cleanroom environments. Rated for ISO Class 4 Cleanrooms and above and commonly used in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device manufacturing cleanrooms.

• Rated for ISO Class 4+ Cleanrooms

100% Polyester

Sandwash

Non-linting and breathable, Sandwash is soft and smooth for an ideal cleanroom base layer. Made with 100% continuous filament polyester and a moisture-wicking finish to maximize comfort in cleanroom environments.

99% Polyester, 1% Carbon

ESD Sandwash

CritiCore’s non-linting and breathable ESD Sandwash is made with 99% continuous filament polyester and 1% carbon. Its carbon stripe assists in electrostatic dissipation and helps prevent “cling,” while the softness makes this base layer comfortable for everyday wear.
