National Safety Apparel CarbonX Balaclava Knitted Hood is designed to protect the head and neck in moderately high-heat environments. Balaclava hoods provide good heat and flame resistance while offering more flexibility and visibility than aluminized hoods.
CarbonX non-flammable fabrics offer the best level of fire and heat protection in fire resistant clothing for the most extreme conditions. Based on patented blends of oxidized fibers, CarbonX is the only fabric able to withstand the direct flame of a blow torch without melting, igniting, or burning—even when exposed to the flame for up to 20 times longer than the leading competition. CarbonX non-flammable fabrics also retain this level of persistence and protection against molten metal and arc flash, leaving it as the only choice for professionals working in conditions where safety matters most.
