Dromex® flame resistant balaclava is made from engineered knitted yarn, provides users with dependable, neck, face and head protection against the hazards of a fire.
Worn with an SCBA mask in firefighting applications and against arc flash, used in conjunction with a face shield, while working on energized equipment, along with other PPE (personal protective equipment) used widely in the petrochemical, chemical and utility industries. Comfort and fit are an essential part of fire safety making the knitted balaclava ideal, that is comfortable, lightweight and with wicking finishes improves breathability.
Fires are unpredictable and situations can change in an instant with temperatures reaching 1038°C (1900°F), exposing workers to serious injury. For hazards like flash fire and pool fires the Dromex® balaclava helps minimize break open and expands to form a stable and inert barrier between the fire and skin.
This gives exposed workers the valuable seconds they need to escape from the hazard. Inherently flame-resistant fibres are materials that have the flame-resistant properties built into their chemical structures. The actual structure of the fibre itself is not flammable therefore these properties can never be worn away or washed out. When exposed to flame, the aramid fibre swells and becomes thicker, forming a protective barrier between the heat source and the skin. This protective barrier stays supple until it cools, giving the wearer vital extra seconds of protection to escape.
