Carbon
Shield™
Non-Flammable
If exposed to extreme heat or flame fabric glows but
won’t burn. It retains a certain tenacity at
temperatures exceeding 2300ºF for over 90 seconds.
Non-Melting
Absolutely melt-proof and doesn’t become stiff.
It remains soft to the touch after being exposed to
fire.
Excellent
Stretch & Recovery Properties
1 x 1 Rib Knit construction. Knit to allow 200% stretch
for maximum stretch and recovery.
Non-shrinkable
The space between the clothing and the body reduces
and protects against burns. Carbon Shield is almost
totally non-shrinkable when exposed to flame and
heat for short periods of time.
Forms No Openings
If an opening should be formed, fire comes into direct
contact with the body and increases the possibility
for burns. Because Carbon Shield doesn’t melt
or stiffen and is non-shrinkable, it develops no
openings.
Deposits No Tar
When clothing melts or stiffens and decomposes in a
fire, it deposits a by-product tar in the form of
a liquid, which has a similar effect as melting in
increasing the risk of burns. Carbon Shield deposits
no tar.
Non-Heat Conductivity – (Disburses
Heat)
In order to ensure the time to escape from fire, clothing
must possess the property of delaying the transmission
of heat. PGI’s Carbon Shield has a low heat
conductivity on the same level as wool.
Lightweight
Yet Excellent TPP
Weighs only 6.5 oz./sq. yd. which is over 20% lighter
than most NFPA compliant hoods, yet still has excellent
Thermal Protection Performance (TPP) rating of 28.
Highest
Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of all Flame Resistant Fabrics
Flame resistance is commonly measured by LOI, the amount
of oxygen needed in the atmosphere to support combustion.
Carbon Shield fabric has the highest LOI of all flame
resistant fabrics allowing it to be labeled as 100%
Non-flammable.
Chemical Resistance
Excellent resistance to organic solvents, weak alkalis
and weak acids. Provides good resistance against strong
alkalis and strong acids for short-term exposures.
Comfortable
Fabric has an excellent moisture regain (approx. 8%).
Because fabric wicks moisture away from the skin
to the outer shell, it enables the moisture to evaporate
at a rapid rate. The aspect of wicking moisture off
the body will not only offer a more comfortable garment
but improve the protection in an intense fire or
high intensity heat situation.
Excellent Shape Retention
Unlike some hood fabrics which don’t hold their
shape after laundering, Carbon Shield has extremely
low shrinkage after laundering and looks virtually
unchanged after repeated washings and dryings. Also,
the protective qualities of the knit after laundering
showed no change in flame resistance or thermal protection.
Odor
Absorbing Qualities
Has ability to absorb and neutralize unpleasant odors,
a considerable advantage when opportunities for washing
are limited.
Infrared Rays Non-Reflective
Excellent for police/swat teams as well as military
applications.
Natural Black Color Hides Soil
Resistant to Ultra Violet
Rays
Will not fade or weaken when exposed to UV rays.
Meets NFPA
Requirements
UL Classified to meet the hood requirements of NFPA
1971, Standard on Protective Ensemble for Structural
Firefighting, 2000 Edition.
Meets CAL-OSHA Requirements
Passes Fed. Test 191, Method 5903.2; CAL-OSHA Sections
3406(d).
