Aluminised hood with golden visor
The hood, from the Medop aluminised line, offers excellent protection and versatility thanks to its different adjustment options. Learn more about this product’s 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.
- Gold visor filtering infrared radiation, shade 4-3.
- There are 2 visor options available:
o Mirrored laminated glass visor, 4 mm thick, dimensions: 100 x 200 mm, provides protection against radiant heat over 600ºC; marking is 4-3 M1S.
o Flexible polycarbonate visor, 1 mm thick, dimensions: 100 x 200 mm, provides protection against radiant heat over 600ºC; marking is 4-3 M2S.
- With adjustable straps.
- Also available with 5 cm velcro docking.
