Chemical & Petrochemical

Certified protection against liquid chemical splash

Chemical plants and laboratories expose workers to splash and spray from process chemicals, on top of flame and heat risk. EN 13034 certified fabric is tested specifically for liquid chemical repellency and penetration resistance, and XM FireLine fabrics combine this with EN ISO 11612 heat-and-flame protection in the same construction.
