En166bsplash protection for metal workers
August 1st 2008 DuPont Personal Protection,
in conjunction with weavers,
knitters and garment
manufacturers in the Nomex
Quality Partnership
Programme, has developed
Nomex MetalPro Plus, a
fabric that offers a high
level of protection and
resistance against molten
metal splashes.
Its enhanced shielding
properties are said to reduce
the risk of burn injury for
people exposed to the risk
of molten metal splashes
and sparks and help prevent
the potential for heat stress
caused by physical exertion
and the high environmental
temperature of foundries,
forges, and so on.
The new addition is
intended for use on top of
Nomex MetalPro fabric to
provide extra protection in
areas of the garment where
there is continuous exposure
to sparks and splashes. More articles from DuPont De Nemours (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l,: |
