Engineered for extreme heat, flash fires, and explosive environments, our Double-Layer FR Balaclava redefines safety with a proprietary aramid/FR viscose blend fabric. Unlike standard modacrylic/cotton balaclavas, this advanced material offers superior flame resistance, breathability, and durability—certified to EN11612 (flame/heat), EN1149 (antistatic), ASTM D6413 (flame resistance), and ASTM F1959 (arc flash). Ideal for oil & gas workers, firefighters, and industrial teams facing life-threatening thermal hazards.
Key Features:
✅ Aramid/FR Viscose Blend Fabric:
Enhanced Fire Resistance: Aramid fibers resist ignition and melting, while FR viscose self-extinguishes flames, outperforming modacrylic/cotton blends.
Double-Layer Construction: Dual fabric layers provide an added barrier against extreme heat and sparks without compromising mobility.
✅ Multi-Hazard Compliance: Meets EN1149 for electrostatic safety (critical in explosive atmospheres) and ASTM F1959 for arc flash protection up to 8 cal/cm².
✅ Heat-Regulating Comfort: Moisture-Wicking Inner Layer: Draws sweat away from skin, keeping you cool and dry during prolonged use. Breathable Outer Layer: Allows airflow while blocking radiant heat and debris.
✅ Full-Face & Neck Protection: Seamless design shields sensitive areas (ears, neck, face) from flames, arcs, and abrasive sparks.
✅ Durable & Flexible: Aramid Reinforced Stitching: Prevents seam failure in high-heat scenarios. Stretch-Fit Design: Snugly contours to the face and layers under helmets, respirators, or hoods.
