Albarrie Environmental Services Limited
Safety Apparel
Albarrie produces a variety of needlepunch felts for use as interlinings in safety apparel applications. Felt interlinings are typically bonded or sewn into the middle of a multilayer fabric construction to provide a specific function depending on the performance requirements of the application.
Insulation:
- Felt interlinings can assist in retaining heat or protect the wearer from external heat sources. Example: Kevlar ® felt interlining material for safety gloves used in handling hot items.
Cut/puncture resistance:
- Kevlar ® felts have long been used in safety apparel to provide enhanced cut & puncture protection. Examples include: interlining material for chainsaw chaps, safety gloves, footwear, sleeves and more.
Padding:
- Polyester felt interlinings are a simple but effective way to provide fullness or add cushioning to a fabric construction.
Fire blocking:
- Fire blocking felts can be constructed of inherently fire resistant fibers such as OPAN (Pyron ®), Kevlar ®, or Nomex ® or constructed of non-fire retardant fibers with fire retardant coatings. Example: Nomex ® felt for fire fighting turnout gear and racing suits.
