Hi-Care Aluminised Aramid Overcoat

Description

Product Overview

The HCS ALUPRIME Aluminised Aramid Overcoat is a premium protective garment designed for extreme thermal environments, specifically for workers in foundries and related heavy industrial applications. Engineered to provide comprehensive protection against high-temperature radiant heat, this full-sleeve overcoat combines advanced materials with robust construction to ensure maximum safety without compromising necessary mobility.

Safety Certifications and Standards

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

EN ISO 11612 Certified: This garment passes the rigorous requirements of the EN ISO 11612 standard, achieving the following performance levels:

A1 (Limited Flame Spread): Resistance against flame ignition.

B1 (Convective Heat): Resistance against convective heat transfer.

C4 (Radiant Heat): High-level resistance against radiant heat transfer.

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

E3 (Molten Iron Splash): Resistance against penetration by molten iron.

F1 (Contact Heat): Resistance against contact heat.

Material Composition and Layering

The overcoat utilizes a sophisticated multi-layer material system to deliver superior thermal barrier properties:

Outer Shell: Constructed from specialized imported fabric. This layer is a 460 GSM Aluminised Para Aramid blend ripstop knit fabric. This advanced material features 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

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, arms, and lower legs, ensuring exceptional 360-degree visibility.

Secure 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.

Comfort and Ergonomics:

FR Suspenders: The trousers are supported by integrated, adjustable, flame-resistant suspenders for a secure and comfortable fit, preventing sagging during intense physical activity.

Acoustic Cues (Internal): The garment features subtle acoustic feedback from internal rustling to provide the wearer with a clear sense of movement and fit.

System Components

This overcoat is a complete protective system, bundled with a comprehensive set of performance-certified accessories:

Overcoat (Model No. HCS NFS 101): As detailed above.

Fireman Helmet (Certified to EN 443): offers certified head protection with enhanced visibility. The professional, high-performance helmet is designed for structural firefighting and features an integrated visor.

Fire Fighting Boots (Certified to EN 15090): Heavy-duty protective footwear specifically certified for fire service use. The rugged boots feature yellow pull-on loops, protective toe caps, and high-visibility reflective elements on the upper shaft.

Fire Fighter Gloves (Certified to EN 659): Certified structural firefighting gloves designed for high-dexterity work. The gloves feature long cuffs for arm protection and robust FR construction.

Balaclava Hood (Certified to EN 13911): Certified knit fire hood providing essential thermal and flame protection for the head, face, and neck, designed to interface seamlessly with the helmet and jacket collar.
