— PPE & Protective Engineering

Fiber specified to the hazard standard, not beneath it.

Cut resistance, thermal exposure, and structural reinforcement each demand a distinct fiber weight and construction. We specify to the test standard your application must pass.

/ Hazard-Driven Specification

Hazard category determines fiber construction.

Cut and puncture environments require high-tenacity yarns balanced against flexibility constraints. Thermal exposure applications demand char-resistance and limiting oxygen index validation at the assembly level, not the raw fiber.

Structural reinforcement roles—blast attenuation panels, containment geometries—are specified by layer count, areal density, and bonding compatibility with the host matrix. We supply to those parameters.

Blast & Containment Engineering

High-tenacity yarns, specified by linear density and twist angle to meet cut class without sacrificing dexterity. Weave construction and coating compatibility confirmed against the relevant test standard.

Char-resistant aramid constructions validated at assembly level for limiting oxygen index and heat transfer rate. Fiber weight and fabric architecture specified to rated exposure duration, not estimated.

Aramid in panel and containment roles: areal density, layer count, and matrix bonding compatibility specified per geometry. Custom weave architecture available when standard constructions fall short.

Bring your hazard profile and test standard.

We work from your exposure class and required test certification backward to fiber specification and construction. No assumption about what standard you need to pass.
