Protective fabrics for the iron and steel industry
Iron and steel foundries demand fire resistant fabrics capable of repelling metal splashes at very high temperatures.
In iron and steel foundries (steelworks and ironworks), where metals are handled at melting temperatures close to 1,400 °C, it is essential that operators are provided with effective protective solutions capable of withstanding molten metal splashes.
Unlike aluminium foundries, the high temperatures of iron and steel promote the repellency of fabrics against potential molten metal splashes. Nevertheless, the combination of extreme temperatures and the risk of sudden fires, such as those caused by electric arcs, makes the iron and steel industry a highly demanding and hazardous working environment.
Marina Textil offers innovative and pioneering solutions for this sector, designed to ensure worker safety. Its fabrics provide protection against high temperatures, radiant and contact heat, massive molten metal splashes, and liquid chemical splashes, while also enhancing visibility in monochromatic environments through high-visibility fabrics.
