Aramidna vlakna, ki se uporabljajo v gasilski obleki

Kot osnovni sestavni del gasilskih zaščitnih oblačil so še posebej pomembne zahteve glede učinkovitosti zaviralca gorenja. Pojav metaaramidnih vlaken je omogočil nadgradnjo gasilnih oblačil. Gasilcem omogoča, da popolnoma odpravijo okorne gasilske obleke, ki imajo samo usnje, težko volno in platno, ter dosežejo izboljšave zmogljivosti tkanin in oblog.

Trenutno se gasilci, gasilske obleke, gasilske obleke iz metaaramidnih barvnih vlaken uporabljajo v različnih gasilskih sistemih. Meta-aramidna barvna vlakna so opremljena tudi z oboroženo policijsko gozdno gasilsko uniformo.

Zaradi svoje odlične zmogljivosti se meta-aramid pogosto uporablja v metalurgiji, gradbeništvu, ladjedelništvu, nafti, kemikaliji, gozdarstvu, požarni zaščiti, vojaškem in drugih področjih in je postal najboljša izbira za obdelavo vseh vrst posebnih zaščitnih oblačil.

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.

Obe inovativni vlakni se nahajata v vsaki plasti večine prestav za končno zaščito:

●Zunanja lupina

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.  

●Ovira za vlago

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.

●Toplotne obloge

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.
