Nomex Heat Protective Apron - SV-APR/N
Working with high temperature processes requires total and sophisticated protection to ensure that the risk of burns is eliminated.
After the success of our range of Nomex® gloves and with lots of feedback from our customers requesting similar protection for the main body area we developed the Nomex® apron. Made from the same material as our gloves this apron offers the same high performing protection from the risk of burns and at a very cost effective price. A growing number of hospitals and NHS trusts are finding this apron to be an invaluable item in their demanding working environments.
Features:
- Heat resistant
- Low thermal conductivity
- Asbestos Free
- Double thickness
- Knitted fabric for comfort
- Does not shrink or melt
- Unaffected by washing
- Hard wearing
- Good chemical resistance
- Conforms to EN420, EN407 (41301X) and EN388 (1X4X)
- Withstands temperatures up to 370oC when degradation begins. When exposed to flame, Nomex does not melt or drip. It simply chars, without offensive odour and with little smoke, to leave a ‘crust’, which continues protection. In normal usage a maximum working temperature of 260oC maintains most physical properties over a number of hours. However, short exposure (e.g. flash fires) gives protection at considerably higher temperatures.
