Otterlayer aluminized coat, CarbonX, 40" long, vented back, C12-AX1

Otterlayer high heat vented back coat model C12-AX1 is a great primary protection layer for people that work in foundries and other environments where they need to be in the vicinity of extremely hot objects, including molten metals. The vented back feature provides additional comfort by reducing moisture build-up under the coat, and allowing more cooling once the person steps away from the heat source.

Features of Otterlayer ventilated back foundry and aluminized coats:

• Overlapping fabric on back with a ventilation gap
• Metal snap front closure with pull tabs to allow easy removal
• Stand-up collar to protect part of the neck and reduce risk of sparks or particles from splashing under the collar
• Sleeves have snaps at wrists, to tighten openings at wrists for better fit with gauntlet style gloves
• Available in various lengths to accomodate different protective needs and allow combinations of full body protection that are most convenient and effective for a particular situation

CarbonX® is a high-performance, truly non-flammable fabric that will not burn, ignite or melt, and protects against molten metal splash, sparks, hot liquids and high temperatures. Through the Z-Flex® MLATM process or multilayer aluminization the CarbonX® base becomes coated with several layers of aluminum, protective films and high heat adhesives. If one layer breaks down, there is another available to protect.

At 10 oz. / sq. yd., Aluminized CarbonX® is among the lightest fabrics that can pass the ASTM F955 pour test for both aluminum and iron. It also receives high marks for radiant heat protection and aluminum and iron molten metal splash resistance according to the European standard EN ISO 11612.

Protective properties of aluminized CarbonX clothing material:

• Lightweight, flexible and comfortable
• Resists molten aluminum and iron splash
• High temperature resistance - withstands over 800°F contact temperature
• Radiant heat protection - up to 2000°F
• Good insulation coefficient based on material thickness

Fabric composition and characteristics:

• CarbonX®, a proprietary blend of highperformance fibers with Z-Flex® Multi-Layer Aluminization
