ArcLite™

For 20 years ArcLite™ has been the standard for electric protective outerwear in the US. Designed specifically for utility workers who may be exposed to electric arcs, ArcLite™ is lighter, softer and more comfortable than other comparable products. With a feature packed design, ArcLite™ is sure to meet the demanding needs of workers exposed to electric arc, flame and intense heat.  

ArcLite™ excels as an FR/AR protective barrier because it is specifically designed to act as a last line of defence, preventing melting, dripping or igniting, thereby reducing the severity of potential burn injuries. ArcLite™ combines high-performance, inherently flame resistant fabrics with a lightweight comfortable design specifically tailored for electrical professionals working in extreme high-risk environments.

APPLICATION: Electric Utilities, Electrical Switching, Electrical Maintenance, Storm Restoration, Meter Servicing, Telecommunications, CATV

 

NOMEX® E89™

Fabric: Nomex® | Kevlar® (Nomex® E89™)

Nomex® E89™ is a blend of Nomex® and Kevlar®. It is a high-performance, non-woven thermal liner material designed for extreme high-risk environments. Nomex® E89™ is used to create lightweight, flexible and breathable moisture barriers and thermal protection layers in professional firefighting garments and arc flash and flame resistant PPE. As a part of a multi-layer system, Nomex® E89™ acts as a thermal barrier trapping air and limiting the transfer of intense heat to the wearer. When exposed to heat, Nomex® fibres carbonise and thicken, forming a protective charred barrier that remains flexible and prevents further heat from penetrating, providing crucial extra seconds of safety. The key working principles of Nomex® and Kevlar® is that they do not melt, drip or sustain combustion in air. Kevlar™ is a high-performance para-aramid fibre known for its exceptional thermal stability, designed to resist extreme heat. It maintains its structural integrity and strength at high temperatures, withstanding heat up to 450°C (842°F) before it begins to decompose.  

Moisture Barrier: FR Synthetic Leather PU/PVC

Flame retardant Synthetic Leather, made from Polyurethane (PU) or Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), offers the combined benefits of enhanced safety, durability and cost-effective design flexibility. These materials are engineered to meet strict safety standards while providing a realistic, animal friendly alternative to genuine leather. The material replicates leather's texture through embossing, using flame retardants to self-extinguish within seconds.
