Welcome to SCI Fire and Safety!

Welcome to Structural Composites Industries (SCI) website for Fire, Safety & Industrial Breathing Air Applications. Are you seeking an opportunity to improve the quality of your Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) cylinders and save money? Perhaps an improvement in durability and performance of your SCBA, RIT/RIC, Cascade or CAFS cylinder is needed…if so, you've come to the right place.

Only SCI, through its network of dealers, can deliver all of this at prices significantly less than the leading Respirator Manufacturers.

How do we do it? A bit of history is needed first. Structural Composites Industries (SCI) became the world's first producer of Department of Transportation (DOT) approved composite cylinders for municipal, commercial, military, marine and aerospace applications. SCI has a safety record no other manufacturer can match and is the world's most advanced manufacturer of composite cylinders. With no field service failures, SCI maintains the absolute best safety record of any composite cylinder manufacturer today. In addition, SCI is the only ISO9001 - AS9100 certified Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) cylinder manufacturer in the USA.

SCI products are an integral part of some of the most advanced applications used regularly by industry, the military and the general public. SCI is the leading provider of oxygen storage solutions for commercial airliners, air storage for aircraft emergency evacuation deployment systems and is the leader in the alternative fuel market.

SCI began selling direct through its dealer network to the Fire Services in 2005 to more directly bring new SCBA cylinder innovations to the market. Accounting for the fact that SCBA cylinders were sold through “Respirator Manufacturers”, SCI estimated that considerable savings could be achieved by Fire Departments and end users if they could buy direct from the cylinder manufacturer's dealer network.

By selling direct through our own dealer network and through the utilization of efficiencies in our manufacturing process, SCI is able to offer end users substantial savings when compared to Respirator Manufactures established list prices. Additionally, SCI is advancing Fire Service technology by introducing products never before made available…until now. Whether you upgrade to the DURA-LITE 15™ line of highly durable cylinders, decide on Custom Labeling your new SCI cylinders, or choose to select SCI newest product offering - our exclusive 30 Year Life SCBA cylinder - you'll do so with confidence knowing you've not over paid while getting the highest quality cylinder on the market today.
