WELDING NAPE SHIELD T400
FLAME RETARDANT NAPE PROTECTOR FOR WELDING.
This flame retardant welding nape shield is made with Weld T400 fabric, Texfire’s exclusive, resistant to sparks and welding projections. Weld T400 fabric is a flame retardant fabric, composed by a meta-aramid fabric covered with a special silicone for high temperatures.
It has been designed to offer welders an extra protection on the head, nape, and the back’s superior area, when using welding screens or face shields. Unlike leather garments, it is very light and flexible, which provides welders a high degree of comfort and allows them total freedom of movements, as well as it does not interfere on the shield’s opening and closure. Texfire’s nape protector is black colored and totally opaque, so it absorbs light and avoids reflections on the welding screen. In addition, its flame retardant features are permanent, and they do not decrease over time, nor with use or washes.
Its adjustment and clamping system is through a loop and hook system, with an auto-adhesive strip that gets adhered to the helmet, and on which another strip sewn to the nape shield rests. This clamping system, which is also flame retardant, allows adjusting the nape shield to any welding helmet or protection screen, in addition it can be placed and removed as many times as needed without losing its effectiveness.
This nape shield is designed for welders that use:
- Adjustable welding helmets.
- Electronic welding helmets.
- Photosensitive welding helmets.
It can also be installed in safety helmets.
According to the tests performed in Texfire’s internal laboratories, WELD T400 fabric meets regulation EN ISO 11611 - Protection clothing used during welding and related techniques. And it obtains a D3-E3 classification in test EN ISO 9185 - Protection clothing. Resistance evaluation of materials to melted metal splashes.
