HEAT SOURCE RADIANT HEAT
Radiant heat has no chance. Radiant heat can produce severe burns. Anyone working in the casting business or near a blast furnace is at particular risk.
Lenzing FR® provides excellent protection from burns in all applications where radiant
heat constitutes a risk.
- Reduction of heat stress and heat stroke
- Optimum moisture management
- Performance remains intact
HEAT STRESS AND HEAT STROKE
Power of performance remains intact.
For special clothing which resists radiant heat, Lenzing FR® fabrics are used in an aluminized form. These offer protection from extreme radiant heat. They also improve the wear comfort and prevent heat stress and heat stroke.
WHAT CAUSES HEAT STRESS AND HEAT STROKE?
- Parameters of Comfort. Influences: Environment, Temperature, Convective Heat, Moisture, Air movement.
Mental and physical exertion increases the body’s core temperature.
Increased blood circulation and the production of perspirati on cool the body down. This cooling down process can be disrupted due to improper heat and moisture management leading to problems with concentration, fatigue, muscle cramps, difficulties breathing and ultimately heat stroke. The excellent moisture management and breathability of Lenzing FR® lead to a reduction in the risk from this mortal danger.
