CarbonX hoods, undergarments, and socks provide an outstanding persistent protective barrier against dangerous splash metal--and an excellent supplement to standard personal protective equipment (PPE). In addition, aluminized CarbonX jackets, spats and gloves offer a lighter, more comfortable, and more effective alternative to traditional aluminized clothing. CarbonX is ideal for industrial splash metal environments because it provides the slowest heat transfer rates of any heat resistant fabric in the world: a shedding, non-stick surface that repels most molten metals, and a unique composition that will not ignite, char, or crack--even under the most extreme conditions. As a result, CarbonX has already gained a reputation for dramatically reducing the number and severity of workplace burn injuries. Nucor Steel Berkeley"We have moved from using FR cotton and Nomex clothing to using CarbonX clothing to protect our employees in high heat and high exposure areas. Where we were once using aluminized Kevlar and carbon Kevlar, we are now using aluminized CarbonX jackets, which offer much more protection and are more comfortable. We have found that CarbonX clothing wicks better and wears cooler than any other fabric...Since instituting CarbonX clothing, Nucor Steel Berkeley, along with several of our other plants, have dropped to an impressive zero burns. We are proud to have been a leader in safety and one of the first in industry to utilize this outstanding product. The increase in safety that CarbonX brings to our employees has been immeasurable and because of the protection and longevity of the fabric, the cost savings have been significant. In my 30 years of working in the safety field, I have never seen a material that is as comfortable and offers as much protection as CarbonX."
