WHAT IS AN ALUMINIZED ARTICLE OF CLOTHING?
To meet at best EN 531 standard performances, an aluminized article of clothing is made of:
- A thin layer of aluminum which has a dual role:
- reflecting infrared radiation so as a maximum of radiant heat is repelled
- preventing projections of molten metal from sticking so as they roll on the article and fall on the floor.
- An aluminum layer support:
- High-performance para-aramid fibers, such as Kevlar®, or carbon/para-aramid fibers (Preox®) – 380 to 680g/m².
- The support texture (woven, brushed, swandown) has an important influence on the qualities the article (insulating power, resistance against projections, comfort).
- An inner shell:
- Comfortable lining made of Proban®-treated fire-retardant 100% cotton, ensuring hygiene as well as a dual thermal insulation (cotton insulation and the one created by the air layer between the aluminized support and the lining).
- In case of extreme heat, the cotton lining can be strengthened (on part or the entire article) with a carbon/para-aramid felt fabric – highly insulating although thin, light and supple.
- In some cases, clothes have no lining at all.
