TBA's aluminised fabrics are widely used to fabricate items of protective clothing such as gloves, mitts, aprons, jackets, trousers and fire proximity suits. These are used within industry to protect workers from heat and welding splash. A variety of base fabrics can be offered depending on the application involved.
Elliotts utilises the following TBA Fabrics
• Aluminised Preox (preoxidised acrylic) OKA667
• Aluminised meta aramid/para aramid AKA327
The above TBA fabrics have been developed with enhanced resistance to moisture. To achieve this the fabrics, incorporate an additional structured component. This element consists of an elastomeric, water-resistant, weave-lock coating, applied to the surface of the base fabric prior to lamination.
All batches of aluminised fabric for protective clothing undergo a wet-flex test, prior to release to assure the adhesion between the fabric and film.
TBA uses polyester film that is aluminised on both sides, so that some degree of radiant heat protection is still offered when some of the outer layer of aluminium is worn away, thus extending the life of the garment.
