Mineral Fibre and Aramid Hybrid Fire Protection Systems
topic
Hybrid fire protection fabrics combine para-aramid structural yarns with glass or ceramic fibre insulation layers in multilayer systems, exploiting aramid high specific strength for structural integrity of the outer shell while inner mineral fibre layers provide thermal insulation and radiant heat barrier function, achieving fire protection performance requiring separate contributions from both organic and inorganic components.
Role
Enables firefighter and industrial protective clothing systems that achieve both the structural strength and flexibility needed for mobility and the extreme thermal insulation performance required to protect against fire exposure, since neither aramid alone nor glass fibre alone can simultaneously deliver the combination of mechanical properties and high-temperature thermal protection required by EN ISO 11612 protection standards.
