The differences are quite distinct. FabRoc™ is virtually indestructible. This rubber-like structure is flexible enough to be configured into almost any shape. Freezing temperatures have no effect on the flexibility of FabRoc™ making it ideal for heated clothing and suitable for a broad range of other commercial applications. Unlike wire-based or carbon fiber heating systems, FabRoc™ continues to operate even if it is slit or torn, with NO POSSIBILITY OF SHORT CIRCUITING with normal use. Able to be powered by a wide range of power supply, include low voltage, means that heating systems for many users can be powered by rechargeable batteries. The weight of these battery packs (no heavier than a modern smart ) makes heated gear and heated clothing by EXO2 ideal for portable use. FabRoc™ is:
• Intrinsically safe (due to the PTC properties and cannot overheat)
• Inert (resistant to most chemicals making it ideal for use in extreme environments)
• Energy Efficient (converting over 99% of electrical energy into heat)
• Lightweight (yielding virtually unlimited applications)
• Waterproof and Windproof
• Crushproof and Stretchable (with up to 200% elongation before rupture, and can even be backed by netting to provide additional strength if required). -
Most heated products or heated clothing lines have historically used heated wires to create and distribute heat throughout the product. Safety concerns, comfort concerns and reliability issues have plagued these wiring systems throughout the years. EXO2 uses a revolutionary and proprietary material named FabRoc™ in ALL of its heated product lines. One of 22 different FabRoc™ formulations is specially selected for each product and is integrated into the build of the product in order to provide uniform distribution of heat where you need it most with no risk of hot spots, short circuiting, etc. (when used normally and as directed). The FabRoc™ Heat Technology produces even heat when voltage is applied based on the conductive chains which are created by the proprietary blend of ingredients and the patented manufacturing process.

No. The FabRoc™ technology are 'hybrid' systems and can be powered either by direct connection to a 12 volt power unit system or by small, rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries. Due to the extremely flexible applications of FabRoc™, several aviation, industrial and commercial use items are produced which are powered by 28 volts, 48 volt and even 110 volts.

Depending on the power pack selected, the product and ambient temperature, FabRoc™ power packs will typically maintain their charge for 3-8 hours. When depleted, the typical recharging time for most Power Packs in our range is 3 hours. The Power Pack has no "memory" and does not need to be fully discharged before recharging. There is no limit to the duration of warmth when FabRoc™ heata gear it is directly connected to a power unit battery or via a 12 volt accessory outlet (or similar). Our multi-level internally controlled or remote controlled PWM batteries will last longer on lower heat/power settings.

-
Yes. The Lithium-Ion batteries used to heat FabRoc™ products can be easily removed, allowing you to wash the garments like other similar textile items you may presently own. Please be sure to following the specific washing instructions for each garment as outlined in the User Instructions provided with each item.
-
Absolutely! FabRoc™ is safe because it conducts heat uniformly throughout the fabric and does not use wires which can short circuit or overheat.
-
FabRoc™ is made of a specially blended, unique polymer-based material which is lightweight, waterproof, windproof, crushproof and stretchable. The combination of the specific ingredients, how they're mixed and the manner in which the product is made has been perfected for over 30 years, making FabRoc™ both a new and proven technology.
