Development for welding protection - proFlex4®
![]() |
proFlex4® is the result of a professional cooperation of competent partners. Du Pont's supplies the high-performance Nomex®- and Kevlar® brand fibres. Further the fibre Viscose FR (flame retardant) is applied. It is Aramex-Garne who spins the threads as per a very special procedure. Ibena produces the extremely tight and flat high tech fabric and the garment manufacturer boco fabricates the unique welding protective clothes. By their know-how, each single partner has given its contribution to proFlex4® for becoming the ideal welding-, flame and heat protection. The most innovative feature of proFlex4® is the unique blend of different fibres to make a special modulated yarn- and fabric construction. As a matter of course a utility model as well as a patent has been granted on this innovation. |
The special components guarantee that the following norms are met:
- EN 470/1
Protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes - EN 531
Protective clothing for workers exposed to heat - EN 533
