Finally we would like to draw your attention to a fact that
PBI®material
is as other chemical materials
sensitive to direct daylight. To eliminate mechanical and visual abrasion of the outer material of the
garment it is essential to observe right laundering procedures, eventually timely done re-impregnation.
We are absolutely convinced that the most sensitive part at laundering is the time, the temperature
and loading of the washing and drying process. We can say that excessive temperature and over drying
can result in excessive shrinkage.
We absolutely recommend keeping an evidence list of the clothing service and maintenance (Appendix
