You should already understand how important the protection of employees is when it comes to high temperatures. Therefore, the Marlan® fabric in our garments offers state-of-the-art solutions to meet the needs of the wearer when exposed to high temperatures, radiant heat or large amounts of molten metals. It has the best result according to the European standard EN ISO 9185 for protection against molten aluminum splashes and steel and iron splashes, and also has excellent performance against other splashes – zinc, nickel and lead.

Marlan® is an inherently flame-resistant fabric that does not lose its characteristics after use or washing, the properties of the fabric remain unchanged throughout its life cycle. Users need a garment that, in addition to offering effective protection, is able to resist impacts from splashing metal at high temperatures where metal reaches temperatures of approximately 1,200 °C, these are very dangerous environments and any lack of attention can cause severe burns.

Our Marlan® garments have an excellent thermal insulation, preventing molten metal from adhering to the fabric, which is the main problem with other fibers that undergo special treatment. It also provides effective and complete protection. Our garments guarantee this protection with natural fiber fabrics that provide excellent comfort and durability.
