Stopping molten metal

Stopping molten metal is one of the hardest tasks a fabric can be given. In a steel mill or a welding shop, molten-metal splash, sparks and radiant heat are the everyday working environment. So we engineered materials that take it on — from heavy welding satins to a five-fibre fabric built for molten-metal splash — to protect the health of the people who work closest to fire.

What sets our metallurgy and welding fabrics apart

Built to stop the splash

ArD3E3: a five-fibre construction — FR viscose, polyamide 6.6, wool, para-aramid and carbon fibre — in a 350 g/m² satin weave. Wool and the smooth satin face shed liquid metal before it can drive heat into the material.

The heavyweight class of welding fabrics

Flame Pro T12 (450 g/m², 4:1 satin) and T13 (520 g/m², 5:2 satin): flame-retardant cotton with a smooth face that lets sparks and slag slide off — for the highest-exposure workstations.

Up to 100 washes with protection retained

Nine variants of the vat-dyed Flame Pro line: the weight matched to the workstation, from 220 to 520 g/m² — and a declared resistance of up to one hundred wash cycles that sets the cost of ownership, not the price per metre.

No melting in the harshest conditions

Aramid D0–D3, 150–260 g/m²: on contact with fire, aramid fibre chars at the surface while the material keeps its integrity — none of the secondary burns from molten polymer typical of ordinary synthetics. The D3 variant raises the para-aramid share to 23%.

Full protection that still breathes

Aramid Vis: 53% FR viscose in 150 and 250 g/m² wovens and in jersey, pique and fleece knits. Viscose wicks moisture during work in high temperatures — a base layer under the same FR regime as the outer garment.

Mechanical durability without compromise

The T30 and T31 variants: a 10% polyamide 6.6 share in flame-retardant cotton raises abrasion resistance in the zones that contact the structure — knees, forearms, thighs — without changing the flame-retardant regime.
