Gore has extended its product
portfolio for Gore-Tex Heat & Flame
Garments with Gore Antistatic
Technology. Available as a
two-layer and three-layer
laminate, the product
comprises
flameretardant outer
shell fabric (a blend
based on
modacrylic/cotton)
laminated to an
antistatic Gore-Tex
membrane based on
expanded
polytetrafluoroethylene.
The outer shell fabric is designed to protect against the thermal hazards of an electric arc Class II (7 kA) in garment assembly.
The three-layer product is made with an aramid backer so garments do not require additional lining.
Laminates offer protection against electrostatic charging due to the carbon particles engineered into the membrane structure.
Any charges that build are discharged in all directions, avoiding concentrated conductive pathways.
The centrepiece of these garments is a Gore-Tex membrane that is waterproof, windproof, breathable, flex resistant, temperature stable and resistant to chemicals.
Gore-Seam Tape is used for fabric overlaps and seams.
