WHAT SHOULD I CHOOSE?

RED PROTECTION

When you need protection from molten metal. Red Protection is specially developed for the aluminum industry, but is also used in other industries where you want to protect against metal splashes, but do not need protection against radiant heat.

SILVER PROTECTION

When you need protection against radiant heat and molten metal. Silver Protection is primarily used by iron works, steel works and heating plants.

Our certified protective clothing covers all needs for protection against radiant heat and molten metal. From hood, coat, trousers, gloves and foot protection. It´s possible to combine products from silver & red protection.

CLASSIFICATION - WHAT DOES THE LABELING MEAN?

Our protective clothing against heat is certified according to EN ISO 11612 and protects the user in contact with    heat and flame.

A: Limited flame spread

The garment should stop burning within two seconds and no hole should form when exposed to an open flame         for 10 seconds.

A1 – surface ignition A2 – edge ignition

B: Protection against convection heat

Duration of time the garment can stop heat from passing through when exposed to an open flame.

B1: 4 – 10 sec B2: 10 – 20 sec B3: 20 sec or more

C: Protection against radiant heat

Duration of time the garment can stop heat from passing through when exposed to radiant heat.

C1: 7 – 20 sec C2: 20 – 50 sec C3: 50 – 95 sec C4: 95 sec or more

D: Protection against splashes of melted aluminum

The amount of melted aluminum the garment can withstand without a hole forming.

D1: 100 – 200 g D2: 200 – 350 g D3: 350 g or more

E: Protection against splashes of melted iron 

The amount of melted iron the garment can withstand without a hole forming. 

E1: 60 – 120 g E2: 120 – 200 g E3: 200 g or more

F: Protection against contact heat

Duration of the time the garments can block heat when in direct contact with hot substances and objects.

F1: 5 – 10 sec F2: 10 – 15 sec F3: 15 sec or more

How is testing D and E performed? (melted aluminum and iron)

The test is performed by pouring liquid metal over the fabric at a specific angle and the rating indicates how          much the fabric can withstand before a hole forms.
