Hohenstein offers new hot metal test for workwear

17/12/2013
Manufacturers of protective textiles or textile personal protection equipment can now have their products tested at the Hohenstein Institute in Bönnigheim, Germany, for the protection they offer against molten metal splash.

The material is acclimatised for 24 hours before testing, in a climate chamber where the temperature and air humidity are set to defined standards, and is then stretched on a frame over a special PVC film. Any damage to this PVC film represents possible injury to skin.

The tests are carried out in accordance with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 9185 and can be completed in 10 to 15 working days.
