Carbon Shield is a flame resistant fabric breakthrough based on carbon fiber technology. Considered the ultimate high-tech fabric for thermal protection and comfort. During the torch test, after about 5 seconds, traditional FR fabrics combust, severely shrinking and charring. Carbon Shield remains dimensionally stable even after 90 seconds, giving you the extra time you need to get out safely. Properties of Carbon Shield include:
     
  • Non-flammable
    If exposed to extreme heat or flame fabric glows but won’t burn.  It retains a certain tenacity at temperatures exceeding 2300°F for over 90 seconds.
     
  • Non-melting
    Absolutely melt-proof and doesn’t become stiff.  It remains soft to the touch after being exposed to fire.
     
  • Arc Resistant – ATPV 23.3  HRC 2
     
  • Superior Protection from Welding Sparks and Molten Metal
    Resists pin-holing from welding sparks and splatter.  Sheds most molten metals and will not melt, ignite or burn even in the most severe levels of exposure offering unparalleled protection from molten metal splash.
     
  • Non-Shrinking
    The space between the clothing and the body reduces and protects against burns.  Carbon Shield™ is almost totally non-shrinking when exposed to flame and heat.
     
  • Forms No Openings
    If an opening should form, fire comes into direct contact with the body and increases the possibility for burns.  Because fabric doesn’t melt or stiffen and is non-shrinking, it develops no openings.
     
  • Deposits No Tar
    When clothing melts or stiffens and decomposes in a fire, it deposits a by-product tar in the form of a liquid, which has a similar effect as melting increasing the risk of burns.  Carbon Shield™ deposits no tar.
     
  • Low Heat Conductivity – (Disburses Heat Energy)
    In order to ensure the time to escape from fire, clothing must possess the property of delaying the transmission of heat.  PGI’s Carbon Shield™ has a low heat conductivity.
     
  • Infrared Non-Reflective
    Excellent for police/swat teams as well as military applications.
     
  • Natural Black Color Hides Soil
     
  • Lightweight Yet Excellent TPP
    Weighs only 6.5 oz. /sq. yd. which is over 20% lighter than most NFPA compliant hoods, yet still has excellent Thermal Protection Performance (TPP) rating of 28.
  
  • Excellent Stretch & Recovery Properties
    1 x 1 Rib knit construction.  Knit to allow 200% stretch for maximum stretch and recovery.
     
  • Comfortable
    Fabric has an excellent moisture regain (approx. 8%) and wicks moisture away from the skin to the outer shell, enabling it to evaporate at a rapid rate.  The aspect of wicking moisture off the body not only offers a more comfortable garment but also improves protection.
     
  • Chemical Resistance
    Excellent resistance to organic solvents, weak alkalis and weak acids.
     
  • Excellent Shape Retention
    Unlike some hood fabrics which don’t hold their shape after laundering, Carbon Shield™ has extremely low shrinkage and looks virtually unchanged after repeated washings and dryings.  Also, after laundering fabric showed no change in flame resistance or thermal protection.
     
  • Odor Absorbing Qualities

    Has ability to absorb and neutralize unpleasant odors, a considerable advantage when opportunities for washing are limited.
     
  • Resistant to Ultra Violet Rays
    Will not fade or weaken when exposed to UV rays.
     
  • Highest Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI)
    Flame resistance is commonly measured by LOI, the amount of oxygen needed to support combustion.  The higher the LOI value, the more flame resistant the material.  Carbon Shield™ has an LOI which is over 50% higher than Nomex and 33% higher than PBI FR Rayon blends.
     
  • Meets NFPA Requirements
    UL Classified to meet the current hood requirements of NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting (Classic, Ultimate and Elite Styles).
     
  • Meets CAL-OSHA REQUIRMENTS
    Passes Fed. Test 191, Method 5903.2: CAL-OSHA Sections 3406(d)
     
  • Complies with OSHA Rule 29 CFR Part 1910, 269
     
  • Compliant with NFPA 70E – Current Edition. 
    Meeting the performance specifications of ASTM-F-1506 (On double ply hoods)

 

 

FABRIC:        

  • Material composition of hood is Carbon/HIgh Strength Aramid - approx. 6.5 oz. sq. yd and knit in a 1 x 1 rib construction for better stretch and comfort.

  • Not compliant with NFPA 1971 - Current Edition.

 


STITCH TYPES AND SEAMS:

  • All stitching conforms to Federal Standard 751 Specifications (FED-STD-751).
  • Top is assembled with flat seam, stitch type 607.
  • Elastic in face opening is serged with stitch type 504 and reinforced with bottom cover-stitch, stitch type 406.
  • Drape attachment to top is done with stitch type 401 and reinforced with stitch type 605.
  • Binding is applied with bottom cover-stitch, stitch type 406.


THREAD:

  • All sewing done with 100% Nomex thread size TEX 40.


CONSTRUCTION:

  • The hood shall be composed of two layers of knit.
  • Hood is assembled with flat seam cover stitch.
  • Bib is joined around circumference of hood and sewn on both sides and cover stitched top and bottom.
  • Face opening shall be an oval shape measuring 6" in width and 3¼" in height. Extra-Heavy ½" wide elastic is serged to the perimeter of the face opening. The face opening with elastic is then folded back ½" and cover stitched. The heavier elastic around the face opening stretches a full 17" for easy donning.  It also is guaranteed to fit snugly around all styles of SCBA masks and will retain its shape better after repeated use and laundering.
  • The bottom edge of bib is completely bound with self-fabric bias cut binding (cut in five degree cut pattern).
