Vapor Barrier
For our vapor barrier we looked at the options currently available and decided upon a revolutionary thermal urethane barrier. This very special barrier exhibits a melting point well above NFPA requirements, superior liquid penetration resistance, breathability and severe tensile strength. This thermal urethane barrier should not be confused with traditional poly based barriers.
Poly based barriers were not task designed for the fire service. Our thermal urethane barrier is specifically designed for the fire service. We utilize welded seams (no hand painted or glued seams) and the barrier exhibits a very high moisture vapor transmission rate.
Our barrier is also manufactured in different sizes to accommodate the various sizes of gloves we offer and as well reduce bulk in the smaller gloves. Unlike Teflon our barrier is memory free when it comes to bending and stretching and offers unsurpassed resiliency in return to static state. Our barrier is impermeable to steam and meets the NFPA standards for liquid, chemical and blood borne pathogen penetration.
