Lamination Technologies

The Firefighter suit shown in this video is made from a new fabric from Lamination Technologies can protect its wearer from flames at 1100ËšC for seven seconds and even after seven seconds the wearer will only sustain second degree burns over 17% of his body. If you add a second layer the protection increases to 12 seconds with 16% burns! Don’t forget, as we learned last year during our visit with DuPont, when you are talking FR clothing you can’t rely just on the rating of the fabric. Protection is determined based on the material as well as design.

Working with Prime Contractor Penn State University Electro Optics Center, Lamination Technologies has been developing lightweight FR solutions for the Department of Defense.
