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protective fabrics, it performs very well on tests for both the EN 531 (presently superseded by the EN ISO 16112), and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.
