FIRE

CarbonX® is the ultimate protection against flame

When flame resistance is absolutely critical in your personal protective equipment (PPE), look to a CarbonX® solution to deliver the ultimate peace of mind. Professionals exposed to the possibility of fire on the job demand the highest levels of protection and CarbonX® delivers unequalled safety and comfort.

ARC FLASH

CarbonX® protects against extreme heat

Arc flashing can produce temperatures up to 35,000° F in less than a second. CarbonX® clothing provides the best possible protection against electrical arcing injuries because it distributes heat evenly and maintains its integrity - even under the extreme conditions caused by electrical arcing. Hoods and garments made with CarbonX® meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 70E, requiring employees to wear flame resistant clothing that meets ASTM F1506 and CSA Z462 - 2008 requirements where there is a possibility of an electric arc flash.

MOLTEN METAL

CarbonX® protects in splash metal environments

CarbonX® is ideal for industrial splash metal environments because it provides the slowest heat transfer rates of any heat resistant fabric in the world: a shedding, non-stick surface that repels most molten metals, and a unique composition that will not ignite, char, or crack – even under the most extreme conditions. As a result, CarbonX® has already gained a reputation for dramatically reducing the number and severity of workplace burn injuries.

HEAT

CarbonX® withstands heat

Besides protection from direct flame, CarbonX® withstands heat extremely well. For example, at approximately 600° F., the leading FR fabrics burn, begin to shrink while charring, then crack and decompose. This is all in about 10 seconds. Under the same conditions, CarbonX® is not affected in any way. It even disburses the heat energy and will take about 60 seconds before the heat will start penetrating the next layer of fabric.
