Solar Team Twente 2009 will be wearing red overalls made of<br />
inherently heat <strong>and</strong> flame resistant fabric that is produced by<br />
TenCate Protective Fabrics in Nijverdal, The Netherl<strong>and</strong>s. This<br />
lightweight TenCate Tecashield ® material is highly durable but also<br />
stable through the use of meta-<strong>and</strong> para-aramid fibres.<br />
TenCate Outdoor Fabrics will be supplying an inherently flame<br />
retardant red garage tent for the solar car with<br />
accompanying inherently flame retardant red<br />
groundsheet for small repairs on the side of<br />
the road. The team sleeps in inherently flame<br />
retardant red tents made of TenCate fabric. Because all tents have<br />
a pump up frame they can be set up fast <strong>and</strong> easy. The canvas of<br />
TenCate Outdoor Fabrics is composed of a blend of four different<br />
fibres, offering the canvas its inherently flame retardant qualities.<br />
The material is strong, has great breathability properties, has<br />
moisture-regulating capacity <strong>and</strong> is resistant to all weather<br />
conditions. This is important because in Australia the temperature<br />
can differ enormously between day <strong>and</strong> night.<br />
