NOTES (CONT’D):

The following fabrics have a suffix at the end of the 9 numerical characters
of each style that represent a finish as shown in the following table. These
finishes do not interfere with the performance of the fabrics. All the finishes
have been previously applied to different fabrics without showing any
significant result differences from one another.
There are also some fabrics with the exact same composition but have two
different styles either because one is a wider version of the other or
because one uses a natural fiber versus a solution-dyed aramid fiber. None of
these special characteristics affect the performance of the fabric and
therefore no additional testing was necessary.
