Materials, Design & Other Characteristics
:
DHK's ARC15 suit is manufactured with a single layer textile
with a fiber content of 98% aramid and 2% anti-static. Our
exclusive fabric construction allows the 8.8 oz/yd² fabric
to provide an impressive 15 cal/cm² arc rating (ATPV).
The fabric, as well as all other materials used in the construction
of this garment, is inherently flame resistant. The knit cuffs,
zippers tape, threads and Velcro ® are made of Nomex ®
. The hood window is manufactured with a mix of polycarbonate
and DHK's proprietary ArcX™ energy absorbing material.
This high-tech material allows a superior visible light transmission
of an amazing 61%. The outer surface of the shield comes with
DHK's proprietary material Silicote™-1 scratch resistant
coating (up to five times longer product life) and the inner
surface has a permanent antifog coating. The hood has an arc
rating (ATPV) of 18 cal/cm². DHK's ARC15 suit is the
lightest weight garment in the market for the protection it
offers. This accomplishment is part of Oberon's ongoing research
and development for a safer workplace with high-tech materials.
