Hoods 7" x 11": 7 oz. Aluminized PBI® Blend
Details
Aluminized PBI® is a knit blend of PBI® and para_x0002_aramid blend fibers, with an aluminized coating.
Despite being extremely lightweight and supple,
aluminized PBI® provides superior resistance to
abrasions and chemical solvents, yet provides
wearers with greater comfort and reduced fatigue.
On its own, PBI® is an organic fiber with very
unique properties. It was originally developed for
NASA's Project Apollo, in response to the need for
greater heat protection. It does not burn in air,
melt, or emit toxic fumes. The addition of para_x0002_aramid blend provides extra strength and abrasion
resistance.
