PROTERA<br />
Protera is a DuPont trademark for garments made<br />
from 65% Modacrylic/23% Nomex®/<strong>10</strong>% Kevlar®/2%<br />
static dissipative fiber. Available in both shirt and pant<br />
weights, these fabrics are durable and designed to<br />
achieve NFPA 70E HRC 2 and NFPA 2112 compliance.<br />
Applications<br />
Petrochemicals, electrical workers, and for fire fighter station<br />
wear.<br />
Not Recommended For<br />
Use around molten substances or welding operations or in<br />
critical static control applications.<br />
Flame Resistance<br />
Protera garments are made from a blend of fibers that are<br />
inherently flame-resistant which means that this property<br />
cannot be removed by wear or laundering.<br />
Colors<br />
Dyeable in a range of colors with good colorfastness.<br />
Effect of Acids and Alkalis<br />
The fabric is resistant to alkalis and most solvents, but does<br />
not provide personal chemical protection to the wearer.<br />
Where chemical exposure is a hazard, appropriate specialized<br />
barrier garments should be selected.<br />
wearer grounding should not be considered for use in critical<br />
static control applications. It is especially important that<br />
Protera garments not be donned or removed in a hazardous<br />
area.<br />
Processing<br />
Flame-resistant apparel should be washed using soft water<br />
