Carbon Shield is a flame resistant fabric breakthrough based on carbon fiber technology. We consider it the ultimate high-tech fabric for thermal protection and comfort. During the torch test, after about 5 seconds, traditional FR fabrics combust, severely shrinking and charring. Carbon Shield remains dimensionally stable even after 90 seconds, giving you the extra time you need to get out safely. Properties of Carbon Shield include:
- Permanently flame resistant
- Non-melting
- Low shrinkage
- Infrared Non-Reflective
- Resistant to ultra violet rays
- Excellent stretch and recovery
- Low heat conductivity
- Lightweight yet excellent TPP
- Wicks moisture away
- Chemically resistant
- Absorbs and nuetralizes odors
- Black color hides dirt
- Highest Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI)
Fabric: - Both outer shell and lining are a blend of Carbon/High Strength Aramid - approx. 6.5 oz sq yd
- 1 x 1 rib knit fabric - knit to allow approx. 130% stretch for maximum stretch and recovery.
- Calendared to minimize laundry shrinkage.
