GEFEST-480

Gefest-480 is a heavyweight 480gsm pure cotton protective fabric with a flame retardant finish. Smooth satin 5/2 weave. Gefest is a flame retardant fabric specifically designed for welders working in extreme conditions on offshore oil platforms, in dry docks and in naval shipyards. Gefest is an extremely durable fabric due to its innovative composition of long staple cotton fibres twisted in warp and weft. The fabric is so strong that it’s impossible to tear with your hands. Gefest-480 flame retardant protective fabric is intended for professional welders’ clothing in various fields such as mechanical engineering, metallurgy, oil and gas pipeline construction, automotive, etc. The satin weave of Gefest-480 is extremely useful in welders’ overalls, bibs or aprons as it allows molten metal droplets to easily run off the smooth surface of the fabric. Made from natural fibres, it is very soft and comfortable to wear and at the same time protects against the risks of flash fire and electric arc.
