FABRICS FOR ADVANCED MULTI LAYERED PROTECTIVE SYSTEM

OUR TUFFTEK SYSTEMS

SAFETY APPLICATIONS IN FOUNDRIES

Protection from molten metal splash (iron, aluminum, copper).
Contact heat from hot surfaces or fools.
High radiant heat exposure.
Occasional flame or spark contact.
Durability in dirty, high-abrasion environments.

Common Based Fabric Used

Base Fabric	Properties
Aramid (Nomex®, Kevlar®)	Inherent FR excellent heat and flame resistance, strong against abrasion
FR Cotton / Cotton Blends	Affordable, breathable, treated for FR with good comfort
Wool / FR Wool Blends	Naturally flame-resistant, good thermal barrier
Basofil / Melamine fibers	High char, forming, low conductivity, used in blend with aramid
Fiberglass (coated)	For extreme radiant heat applications (not comfortable for wear)

Coating, Laminated Or Composites Applied

Base Fabric	Properties
Aluminized (Aluminum Foil)	Reflects radiant heat, molten metal splash resistance
