Since 1935, National Safety Apparel has been a leader in delivering advanced safety solutions for workers in high heat and industrial environments. NSA's extensive range of USA-made PPE includes protective workwear for workers facing extreme heat, arc flash, flash fire, molten metal, cut and abrasion hazards. Whether in foundries, mills or industrial manufacturing, NSA solutions are designed to safeguard workers in the toughest environments.

National Safety Apparel (NSA) provides a comprehensive line-up of high heat flame resistant and arc rated personal protective equipment specifically engineered for extreme thermal industrial hazards. This specialised technology features a distinct division between primary aluminised protection, such as their proprietary CARBON ARMOUR™ line and secondary high heat workwear. 

Built to safeguard personnel in foundries, steel mills and heavy manufacturing plants, these garments shield wearers against intense radiant heat, accidental contact heat and devastating molten metal splashes. By utilising innovative, multi-layered material composites, the apparel successfully blocks high-calorie thermal energy transmissions without drastically increasing physical bulk. The range spans complete head-to-toe coverage, incorporating aluminised apparel, robust welding Jackets, FR/AR Workwear and an assortment of high heat gloves lined with aluminised backing and tough leather palms.

APPLICATION: Arc Flash, Flash Fire, High Heat Industrial.

Fabric Performance

NSA's Carbon Armour™ 8.6oz/291gsm OPF Blend Ripstop is an advanced, heavy-duty flame resistant and arc rated fabric designed for high-heat industrial tasks. It is engineered primarily for rugged applications such as welding, grinding and metal smelting or as a protective secondary layer under primary aluminised apparel.

The defining characteristic of the fabric is its ripstop weave. This cross-hatch reinforcement pattern prevents punctures and minor snags from tearing open making it the toughest and most tear resistant variant in the NSA Carbon Armour™ line-up.

Key Safety Ratings: Arc flash PPE CAT 2, 9.9 CAL (ATPV), extreme molten metal splash and spark defence, anti-static defence.

Permanent Features: Permanent/inherent protection, high durability, zero melting, lightweight comfort, moisture wicking and quick drying.
