MICROGUARD® FR is a flame retardant material designed to be worn over woven thermal protective garments such as NOMEX® or PYROVATEX®, offering protection from particulates and light liquid splash without compromising worker protection in the event of a flash fire.
MICROCHEM® CFR is a flame retardant material designed to be worn over thermal protective garments such as NOMEX® or PYROVATEX®, offering protection from particulates and pressurized liquid spray without compromising worker protection in the event of a flash fire.
Microgard Limited use 5 different seam types for its range of protective clothing depending on the fabric and the final application for which it will be used.
Ultrasonically Welded & Taped Seams:
A feature throughout MICROCHEM® 4000 & 5000 range, this seam technology is our highest barrier to liquid and particulates.
Ultrasonically Welded Seams:
Provides a strong liquid and particle barrier.
Stitched & Taped Seams:
Internal stitching which is overtaped to offer increased strength and an effective barrier to liquids and particulates.
Bound Seams:
An overlay of material similar to the base fabric is lock-stitched in place. This technology provides superior strength, liquid and particle barrier when compared to a traditional stitched seam.
Stitched Seams:
Microgard Limited utilizes 3- thread overlocking technology, which offers an excellent balance of a strong seam with good particle barrier. Internal stitching reduces the risk of any potential linting from the thread.
