Workwear fabric suitability to molten metal industry

摘要: In the scope of foundry processes, there are vital risks when melting metals at high temperatures, carrying this molten metal to molds and pouring it molds. study, wide range workwear materials which used in foundries Turkey were collected their protection properties investigated observe performances. Determining suitable material processing was aimed. These produced from FR-cotton, cotton denim, modacrylic-viscose-FR cotton, meta-aramid, aluminized aramid, FR viscose-wool-polyamide leather. Their performances very different. Except meta-aramid both fabrics, other fabrics failed flame spread. Contrary spread, leather, denim showed highest values test. Besides, leather had no air permeability but has some water vapor aramid poor permeabilities.
