|
| ||
| Material | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Absorbent | Absorbent materials are woven in such a way that it can absorb large amounts of liquids. | ||
| Aramid(e.g. Kevlar®, Nomex®) | Polyimide (polyphthalamide) fibers such as DuPont’s Kevlar® and Nomex® are among the most thermally-stable organic materials. They are lighter and tougher than steel. Applications include protective garments, racing sails, sporting goods, etc. | ||
| Butyl | Butyl consists of elastomeric materials based upon or using a butyl, polybutene or polyisobutylene chemical system. Chlorinated isobutylene or chlorobutyl can be used alone or in blends with other polymers to achieve special properties. Butyl is a common term used for the isobutylene isoprene elastomer. It is known for its resistance to water, steam, alkalis, and oxygenated solvents. Butyl has low gas permeation and is capable of providing high-energy absorption (dampening) and good hot tear strength. The suggested operating temperature is -75° to 250° F. | ||
| Canvas | Canvas is a heavy duty plane woven material usually made from cotton. | ||
| Cotton | Cotton is made from natural fibers that grow around the seeds of the cotton plant. | ||
| Fluoropolymer (e.g., Viton®, Teflon®) | Fluoropolymers such as Viton® or Teflon® have excellent high temperature, chemical resistance, mechanical and physical properties, low compression set, and low gas permeability. | ||
| Latex/Rubber | Latex or rubber is often used in the medical industry, or for protection against liquids and other chemicals. Garments made of Latex are often disposable. Rubber includes compounds such as gum rubber (polyisoprene). | ||
| Leather | Materials are raw or dressed animal skins. Typically, large and heavy skins are used. | ||
| Metal/Metal Mesh | The garment is made from metal or a metal mesh cloth. | ||
| Neoprene | Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that resists degradation from sun, ozone, and weather. It performs well in contact with oils and many chemicals. Neoprene remains useful over a wide range of temperatures, displays outstanding physical toughness, and resists burning inherently better than exclusively hydrocarbon rubbers. Neoprene also offers resistance to damage caused by flexing and twisting. The range of suggested operating temperatures is -45° to 230° F. DuPont Dow originally engineered neoprene. | ||
| Nitrile | Nitrile provides good resistance to petroleum hydrocarbons and fuels. It is used widely with most oils, hydraulic fluids, and alcohol. Many compound variations are available for specific applications. The range of suggested operating temperatures is 30° to 275° F. Trade names include Breon® (BP Chemicals), Chemigum® (Goodyear), Hycar® (B F Goodrich), Krynac® (Polysar Ltd.), Nipol® (Zeon Chemicals), Nysyn® NBR, (DSM Elastomers), Paracril® (Uniroyal Chemical), and Perbunan® (Mobay). | ||
| Nylon | Polyamides, including nylon materials, are available in a large number of polymer structures with varying chemical and physical properties. In general, polyamides are exceptionally strong, elastic, abrasion resistant, lustrous, and resistant to damage from many chemicals. Polyamides are also resilient and low in moisture absorbency. | ||
| Polyester | Plastics are based on the polyester (alkyd) or vinyl ester system. | ||
| Polyethylene | Olefin fibers that are based on low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) have good friction and mechanical properties, but relatively low thermal stability. They are used to reinforce hoses and power belts, and in athletic and automotive equipment. A high-strength, high-density olefin fiber has been developed that is ten times stronger than steel. | ||
| Polyurethane | Polyurethane (PUR) resins provide excellent flexibility, impact resistance, and durability. Polyurethanes are formed through the reaction of an isocyanate component with polyols or other active hydroxyl group compounds. Polyurethanes require a catalyst, heat, or air evaporation to initiate and complete curing. | ||
| Vinyl/PVC | Polymers are based on the vinyl chemical system. Examples include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDF), polyvinyl vinyl acetate (PVA), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). | ||
| Wool | Wool is the dense, soft, often curly hair that forms the coat of sheep and certain other mammals, such as goat and alpaca. Wool consists of cylindrical fibers of keratin covered by minute, overlapping scales. Wool is valued as a textile fiber. | ||
