Isodri Protective Systems
isodriTM Protective
Systemsgive you what you deserve. isodriTM
is a system of
components that work together to provide breakthrough
solutions to the
proven problems of wet turnout gear.
Think water is your friend?
Water is a great tool for fighting fires.
It extinguishes flames by displacing air
and its oxygen. And, a well placed fog pattern
is the quickest way to knock
down heat because the water droplets absorb
so much thermal energy.
But, beware of the steam blow back, and beware
of wet gear.
Water is your enemy, too!
Besides adding lots of weight to your clothing,
water absorbs heat and stores
it because it is so dense. When water from
sweat, hose streams, or rain is
sucked into your bunker gear, it displaces
the insulating air. That's not a good thing!
At 200° F, water transfers heat 21 times
faster than air.
At 200° F, water transfers heat 21 times
faster than the insulating air you thought
you had. Every fire fighter knows that heated
water is volatile and can release
explosive energy in the form of dangerous
steam. But water can
(and frequently does) cause burn injuries
without warning or apparent damage
to your gear at temperatures well below steam
conditions.
The drier the better
Air is lighter than water and, because of
its lower density, it's a very poor heat
conductor. As air heats, it expands and becomes
even less dense. Air is stable
and predictable. It is simply the best insulator.
Every component is engineered for superior water resistance and fast drying.
isodriTM —
a watershed in the science
of fire fighter safety
All isodriTM
systems are engineered to reduce the water and, therefore,
the heat storage capacity of your turnouts.
Each and every layer delivers
superior water resistance and remarkably faster
drying time — from the
outer shell to the moisture barrier to the
thermal barrier. Even the wristlets
are measurably drier. isodri apertured thermal
liners promote higher
air permeability than other systems and complement
state-of-the-art
moisture barriers like W.L. Gore's CROSSTECH®
Moisture Barrier.
isodri outer shells are available in a wide
range of sensational fabrics,
nd only they come with the revolutionary Teflon®
F/PPE to shed water
and promote rapid drying of the entire system.
isodriTM — count on it
