Heat-Resistant Clothing

Arc Flash Protection

Increased technical and performance requirements represent new challenges for fabric manufacturers active in the protective apparel market today. People working in a dangerous environment need improved protection against hazardous risks such as violent fires or electric arcing.

On the one hand, we can achieve this goal through products with integrated flame protection that cannot be washed out and through non-flammable materials (to the use as coating carrier).

Thanks to the combination of our internal technology know-how we succeeded in developing our unique Norafin KOMANDA_® technology, which gives unique performance characteristics to our nonwovens. Norafin KOMANDA_® provides a range of high-grade fabrics that answer the market’s needs for a lightweight, re-usable, strong and breathable material applied in thermal clothing.
