Fibra aramidica utilizzata nella tuta antincendio

Come componente base degli indumenti protettivi dei vigili del fuoco, i requisiti per le prestazioni ignifughe sono particolarmente importanti. L'emergere della fibra metaaramidica ha permesso l'aggiornamento degli indumenti antincendio. Consente ai vigili del fuoco di eliminare completamente le ingombranti tute antincendio che hanno solo pelle, lana pesante e tela, e ottenere miglioramenti delle prestazioni da tessuti e rivestimenti.

Attualmente, vigili del fuoco, tute antincendio, tute antincendio fatte di fibre colorate meta-aramidiche sono stati utilizzati in vari sistemi antincendio. Le fibre colorate meta-aramidiche sono anche dotate di uniforme armata del vigile del fuoco forestale della polizia.

A causa delle sue prestazioni eccellenti, meta-aramide è ampiamente usato in metallurgia, costruzione, costruzione navale, petrolio, chimica, silvicoltura, protezione antincendio, militare e altri campi ed è diventato la scelta migliore per la lavorazione di tutti i tipi di abbigliamento protettivo speciale.

Firefighters have a heavy load to bear — their turnout gear shouldn’t add to it.  So Aramid fibers help manufacturers create fire resistant liners, outer shells, and accessories that not only stand up to the thermal hazards they may face, but also help them get the job done without getting in the way of mobility.

Unlike other materials and fibers available, gear and accessories made with meta aramid fiber are inherently flame-resistant and won’t melt, drip, or support combustion in the air. And the thermal protection off  is permanent — its superior flame resistance cannot be washed out or worn away. Para aramid helps manufacturers enhance the overall durability and strength of lightweight turnout gear outer-shell-and-thermal-liner systems. It is five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis, yet is lightweight, comfortable, and thermally protective.

Entrambe queste fibre innovative si trovano in ogni strato della maggior parte degli ingranaggi per la massima protezione:

●Il guscio esterno

Meta aramid and Para aramid fibers are engineered together and sometimes  with other high-temperature fibers to form materials that help stand up to heat, stay strong, and protect the inner components.  Para aramid filament is engineered into premium fabrics to help reduce fabric profile while strengthening fabrics to new levels of performance.  

●La barriera dell'umidità

Fabrics made of meta aramid fiber and non-wovens help the most trusted and reliable moisture barrier manufacturers provide strong flame-resistant substrates for their liquid-impermeable films.   The moisture barrier helps protect against the intrusion of water, chemicals, and viral agents.  These barriers are also breathable, which allows metabolic heat to escape and helps reduce the overall heat stress during strenuous activities.

●Le linee termiche

Meta aramid and Para aramid fiber batts and the meta aramid non-wovens are combined with face cloths made with meta aramid and para aramid fiber to help provide durable, flexible, heat-insulating components.  Thermal liners made with multi-layer meta aramid non-wovens are among the thinnest, most flexible, most breathable components on the market. Face cloths using para aramid filament yarns help reduce surface friction, improving overall garment mobility.  Water-wicking or -repellent finishes on individual layers improve moisture management and reduce garment-drying time.
