Detailed Product Description: Standalone Hi-Care Aluminised Aramid Jacket (Model: HCS NFS 101)

Product Overview

The Hi-Care Standalone Aluminised Aramid Jacket (Model: HCS NFS 101) is a premium, high-performance protective jacket engineered for workers facing extreme heat hazards in foundries, steel mills, and related heavy industrial environments. Designed to provide comprehensive protection against high-temperature radiant heat, this full-sleeve jacket (as seen in Panels 1 of image_113.png) utilizes advanced material technology to ensure maximum safety. While part of a larger protective system, this standalone description focuses on the jacket as the primary protective barrier, excluding other accessories.

Safety Certifications and Performance Lesvel

This standalone jacket is fully certified to meet and exceed rigorous international safety standards, providing proven performance in the most hazardous thermal environments:

Temperature Resistance (Radiant Heat): The garment is tested and proven to withstand radiant heat temperatures in the extreme range of 1000°C to 1200°C.

EN ISO 11612 Certified: This jacket passes the comprehensive requirements of the EN ISO 11612 standard, achieving the following high-performance levels:

A1 (Limited Flame Spread): Highest resistance against flame ignition and melt.

B1 (Convective Heat): High-level resistance against convective heat transfer.

C4 (Radiant Heat): High-level resistance against radiant heat transfer (as shown in Panels 3 of image_113.png).

D3 (Molten Aluminium Splash): Superior resistance against penetration by molten aluminium.

E3 (Molten Iron Splash): Superior resistance against penetration by molten iron

F1 (Contact Heat): Proven resistance against contact heat.

Aramid Knit: The base fabric is constructed from a robust aramid knit, offering superior strength and cut resistance.

Material Composition and Layering (Thermal Barrier)

The standalone jacket utilizes a sophisticated, multi-layer material system, engineered for superior thermal barrier properties:

Outer Shell: A specialized imported fabric. This layer is a 460 GSM Aluminised Para-Aramid blend ripstop knit fabric (as detailed in Panels 2 of image_113.png). This advanced material has inherent fire retardation and is aluminised to reflect up to 95% of radiant heat. The ripstop knit construction provides exceptional durability and tear resistance.

Middle Layer: An inherently non-woven fabric acts as a critical insulating barrier, further preventing the transfer of convective and conductive heat.

Integrated Functional Features for Maximum Safety

Optimal High-Visibility: Enhanced safety is provided by Two-Inch (50mm) Certified FR fluorescent reflective tape. This tape is strategically applied in a full circle around the chest and both arms, ensuring exceptional 360-degree visibility in critical environments.

Concealed Closure System: The main closure features a full-length, flame-resistant zipper that is completely concealed by an external flap. This flap is secured with full-length hook-and-loop (Velcro) fasteners, creating a seamless and secure seal against heat and molten splash ingress.

Ergonomic Design: The jacket features a full-sleeve design with pre-curved sleeves and ergonomic tailoring for a comfortable fit that doesn’t restrict necessary mobility. The elasticated cuffs ensure a secure fit with the gloves.

Reinforced Seams: All seams are executed with a heavy-duty aramid thread, with call-out labels (e.g., ‘PARA-ARAMID BASE GRID’, ‘REFLECTIVE ALUMINIZED LAYER’, ‘REINFORCED STITCHING’, ‘DURABLE EDGE’) detailing reinforced points.

Hi-Care Brand Logo: The prominent ‘Hi-Care’ brand logo is visible on the chest (as seen in Panels 1 of image_113.png).
