Flame-retardant breathable moisture barriers for firefighters' protective clothing

摘要

In a cooperation project, Trans-Textil GmbH and the STFI developed laminates with improved flame-resistance for moisture barriers in firefighters' protective clothing. The composite materials are produced using hotmelt technology and fulfill the relevant protective clothing standards. Integrated in protective clothing systems, they protect from extreme heat and external moisture, thereby lowering the physiological load on the wearer.
