Boot covers

Aluminsed shoe covers

The aluminised shoe cover protects feet from convective heat, splashes, and contact heat. This accessory has the following characteristics:

-          100% para-aramid (450 g/m2) Aratex fabric. Aratex is a fabric developed for protection against convective heat, metal splashes and contact heat, with low electrical conductivity and high chemical and cut resistance.

-          Aratex has a dual mirror aluminised system, which offers a double layer of protection to the worker in the event of breakage or wear of the exterior layer.

-          The adhesive used to join the aluminised layer and the base material (para-aramid) is made of silicone. Silicone prevents flames from spreading, does not emit gases if burned and is wonderfully resistant when in contact with hot metals.

-          Soft and flexible fabric, providing greater comfort.

-          Garments are light in order to ensure improved mobility.

-          Easy-open velcro seal.

-          Elastic for better grip of the front of the shoe and an aluminised band for the bottom of the shoe for a full grip.

-          Design offers plenty of space to cover shoes of any size.

-          Smooth design that avoids deposit of hot material residue.

-          Measurements are: 26 leg height and 39 cm foot length.

-          Markings for this product are as follows:

o   Limited flame propagation: A1 (the surface can withstand a flame for 10 sec, and the post-combustion time is up to 2 sec.)

o   Convective heat: B1 (heat flow range from 4 to 10 seconds, 80 Kw/m3)

o   Radiant heat: C4 (heat flow range > 95 seconds at 20 Kw/m3)

o   Molten aluminium splashes: D3 (molten aluminium splashes of more than 350 grams)

o   Molten iron splashes: E3 (molten iron splashes of more than 200 grams)

o   Contact heat: F2 (conductive heat transfer time from 10 to 15 seconds at 250ºC)

Due to the characteristics of the trousers from the Aratex aluminised line, they are recommended for use whenever you need leg protection for sectors such as: smelting, metal industries, pyrotechnics, ovens, cement works, steelworks.
