CR-80 8oz 2X1 Twill Weave
Repel is one of the few non-aluminized, flame-resistant fabrics able to pass the ASTM F955 pour test for molten iron and aluminum. Its flammability performance, as measured by the thermal mannequin test, is also extraordinary, with only 15–20% of the mannequin surface reaching criteria for a second- and third-degree burn.
Repel is significantly lighter than other similar application protective options. Its lighter weight increases a wearer’s comfort and productivity as it decreases the amount of muscle exertion and heat stress that builds up over the course of a work shift. Although Repel is water resistant, micropores in the fabric make it breathable, further enhancing comfort.
With an encapsulated barrier of silicone, Repel also shields against harsh weather conditions, reducing wind penetration and repelling water.
Common Applications:
Coveralls, work pants, jackets,
welding sleeves, helmet skirts, aprons
CarbonX meets all No Melt, No Drip requirements for flame-resistant PPE.
