CARBON/TECHNORA PROTECTIVE FIRE HOOD
84% Carbon and 16% Technora - Carbon Fiber is light weight and provides excellent fire resistance. Technora adds strength, durability, and helps hood retain its shape when laundered.
Knit fabric is breathable and one size fits all. Tunneled elastic face opening - 1/2 elastic is encased in fabric to ensure snug and durable fit, especially when wearing SCBA masks. Also features a flared neck design and flatlock seams.
About Technora :Technora is a very strong para-aramid fiber developed and produced exclusively by Teijin Limited. Strong and light: weight for weight, Technora is 8 times stronger than steel and 3 times stronger than fiberglass, polyester or nylon yarns. Shows little loss of strength even during repeated abrasion, flexing and stretching. Low thermal shrinkage, i.e., excellent dimensional stability. Thermal decomposition threshold of 500 C, so Technora can be used at 200 C for long periods. At 250 C, it maintains more than half of its room-temperature tensile strength. Highly resistant to acids, alkalis and organic solvents; not vulnerable to damage caused by steam or sea water.
