FORTAMID fabrics combine the use of an inner core of filament glass fibre wrapped with an outer sheath of aramid fibre. The resulting composite structure allows temperatures of up to 450°C to be withstood, well in excess of the levels which can be tolerated by 100% pure aramid. However by contrast, FORTAMID needlefelts which are produced from 100% para-aramid contain high levels of entrapped air, giving excellent heat insulation properties. Outer Fabric Choices Lining Fabrics The following test results offer a guide to the performance of the Outer Fabric choices: Gloves and mitts are usually lined with wool to offer greater thermal protection. Description Characteristics: • • • • • High tensile strength Excellent resistance to abrasion Good resistance to acid attack Stands up well to rough handling and general wear and tear Suitable for use at temperatures up to 180°C for long term exposure, 350°C for short term exposure, eg handling hot objects.
