About Liquid Metal

All about liquid metal protection

Protection against liquid metal Understand the variables

The working environment in the steel and metal industries can be extremely aggressive due to the radiant heat and splash of liquid metal. Metals such as iron and aluminum have a melting point (melting temperature of the material) greater than 1,000ºC and release a considerable amount of heat.

In this type of environment, FR garments must guarantee maximum protection and at the same time offer comfort and breathability to the user. Santanense's fabrics against Liquid Metal perform the following functions:

1) Avoid the excessive conduction of heat from the environment to the body;
2) They are impermeable to the molten metal, that is, they do not allow it to pass through the garment;
3) They do not allow the spread of flames due to contact with liquid metal.
