Fire/FLASH HOODS

CarbonX inherently non-flammable fabrics provide exceptional heat and flame protection when
safety matters most. Our products withstand direct flame longer than traditional fire resistant/
FR fabrics, without breaking-open, igniting, and minimal charring or shrinkage. Laundering
does not affect the protective properties of our products which are comfortable to wear
providing protection against direct flame, extreme heat, welding & grinding spatter, molten
metal splash and arc flash hazards.

in flame resistance or thermal
protection after 50 & 100 wash
cycles.
