The Chicago Protective Apparel (CPA) 542-AKV is a high-heat, aluminized bib apron designed to protect against severe radiant heat, high ambient temperatures, and molten metal splash.

Material: 19 oz. aluminized para-aramid (Kevlar® blend)

Dimensions: 24 inches wide X 42 inches long

Protection: Shields workers from intense radiant heat and is capable of shedding small amounts of molten splash

Typical Use Cases: Foundries, welding, forging, and high-heat industrial environments.

Aluminized para-aramid blend is a strong and

extremely heat resistant fabric. It is composed of

para-aramid blend fibers surrounding fiberglass

materials, and finished with an aluminized coating.

Like many of the other aluminized primary

protective fabrics, it performs very well on tests

for both the EN 531 (presently superseded by the

EN ISO 16112), and ASTM F955 certifications.

Aluminized para-aramid blend provides a high

degree of protection from molten aluminum and

iron splash, as well as radiant heat. However, its

fiberglass content also makes it protective against

high contact heat, withstanding temperatures of

400-600° F.

The fabric weight, its molten metal splash

protection, and its high contact heat capability

make it a great choice for gloves, mitts, safety

sleeves and aprons. It also lends itself well to any

garments worn where there is a higher probability

of contact, or handling of extremely hot surfaces

or objects.
