![Protech
Protech characterises textile substrates made of high-performance fiber fabrics providing
protection against heat, flames, radiation, liquid metals and ballistic demands. Within this
specific marketsegment, protective and functional garments lead to innovations in the fabric
market, ie.production of surfaces, finishing, lamination and coating with thermoplastic powders.
Textile packaging materials reflect the purpose of protective and safety textiles for
goods (transport) protection. In clean room environments, special garments are needed to
prevent contamination, ref. semi-conductor industry or laboratories.
Protech (protective textiles) [edit]
Definition [edit]
The main target of the technical protective fabrics is to improve people safety in their
workplaces. A technical protective fabric can save a worker's life, that's why, most of them are
mainly used to manufacture PPE (personal protective equipment). The demand of these fabrics
is growing around the world thanks to the sensibilitization of the society, requiring more safety at
work. There are some organizations around the world (ASTM and ISO) which describe the
requirements and regulations, to fulfill by a fabric, to be considered as a technical protective
fabric. The aim of a technical protective fabric isn't fashion, they are designed to have extra
values in protection, against some hazards.
Applications [edit]
Nowadays it can be found in the market, technical fabrics which protect of:
high temperatures (insulating, firefighters)
burns (flame, convective and radiant heat, firefighters, ATEX area)
electric arc flash discharge (plasma explosion, Electric companies)
molten metal impacts (foundries)
metal sparks (welding) Protech (Protective and safety
clothing and textiles)
Protective Textiles are textile products and related materials used in the manufacture of protective
clothing for personnel working in hazardous environments. Protective clothing includes garments for
protection from harmful chemical environment, extreme temperature environments, low visibility, ballistics,
and protection from other types of severe impact hazards. Protech products are also used for sensitive](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/protech-130526120007-phpapp01/85/Protech-1-320.jpg)
