3 K-Flame fabrics designed to enhance the everyday life of people in the most dangerous working conditions. K-Flame is Klopman s new range of inherently Flame Retardant (FR) fabrics, conceived to offer resistance to heat, flame and welding, while also supplying antistatic and electric arc protection. K-Flame fabrics, thanks to the material s intrinsic characteristics, guarantee the highest level of safety together with the greatest feeling of comfort for the wearer. INHERENTLY SAFE: PERMANENT PROTECTION FOR THE WEARER HEAT AND FLAME RESISTANT, ALUMINIUM SPLASH PROTECTION, STATIC CONTROL & ELECTRIC ARC PROTECTION AND WELDING VERY RESILIENT AND DURABLE HIGH VISIBILITY YELLOW AND CHEMICAL SPLASH OPTIONS AVAILABLE INDUSTRIALLY LAUNDERABLE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE

4 K-FLAME RANGE

5 THE MOST COMPLETE OPTION IN THE MARKET Klopman s K-Flame range is available in two different fabric compositions in order to meet every possible market need, from highly resistant fabrics that remain industrially launderable, to lightweight solutions for the most hot and humid climates. These innovative products are the result of almost 50 years of industry experience and expertise, developed with extreme care for quality and the highest level of service, to support clients at all levels of the chain from garment making to laundry services, all the way to the end user. K-FLAME PRO Based on modacrylic, K-Flame Pro range combines efficiency and performance in three different fabric weights: 175, 265, 320 g/m2. The 320-grams version gives the highest class of protection in welding according to ISO and according to ISO D1 aluminium and E3 iron metal splash protection. All modacrylic-based products can be washed industrially (ISO 15797) and are available in High Visibility Yellow, or with chemical splash protection. K-Flame Pro is also available in a laminated version. K-FLAME XTRA Available in 165, 180, 245 g/m2 and with softshell or laminated versions and based on aramid, K-Flame Xtra range, guarantees best-in-class fibre solutions to provide workers incomparable protection levels from heat and flame, electric arc and static control. The material composition features the best possible moisture management, which means good comfort levels, especially in tropical climate conditions. K-Flame fabrics provide reassuringly high protection for numerous end uses and applications, such as: Petrochemical and refinery industry Offshore (oil and gas platforms) Petrol stations Welding industry Chemical industry Transport of hazardous goods Energy and power Glass and ceramic industry Mining industry Utilities Railway Maintenance work

6 K-FLAME PRO MODACRYLIC PERFORMANCE K-Flame Pro inherently Flame Retardant fabrics are the result of extensive research by the Klopman Research & Development team and represent a major breakthrough in the market, thanks to their perfect balance of protection, comfort, strength and durability. Exceptional safety (including welding and aluminum splash protection) together with best in-class strength performance (tear strength, tensile strength, abrasion resistance and pilling), makes this fabric the best choice for both garment manufacturers and industrial laundries. Based on Modacrylic, K-Flame Pro is an extremely reliable solution with no compromise for the end user and wearer.

7 FEATURES EXTREMELY STRONG & RESILIENT FABRIC STATIC CONTROL, WELDING & ELECTRIC ARC PROTECTION COMFORTABLE FOR THE WEARER HIGH VISIBILITY AND CHEMICAL SPLASH OPTIONS AVAILABLE INDUSTRIAL LAUNDERABILITY AVAILABLE AS LAMINATE FLAME RETARDANT K-Flame Pro s tensile strength, tear strength and abrasion performance are superior to competitor fabrics in correspondent weight and achieve far above the minimum standard requirements. TEAR AND TENSILE STRENGTH Tear strength results of K-Flame Pro are very positive compared to similar product in the market even after repeated washes. The tensile strength demonstrated by K-Flame Pro is much higher than others reaching nearly double the values in some fabric weight. ABRASION The abrasion values of K-Flame Pro are considerably higher than competitor s ones in similar weights. PILLING Tear strength results of K-Flame pilling grade is very good compared to similar product in the market as reaches grade 4.

8 K-FLAME PRO FACTS & FIGURES EXTREMELY DURABLE AND COST EFFECTIVE K-Flame Pro s strength test results show how the fabric is more resilient compared to other products in the market, ensuring a long-lasting life for the garments. Of course, their colour consistency and resistance is in line with Klopman s highest standards. The result is a cost-effective, affordable solution without compromising comfort and security to the wearer. HIGH RESISTANCE DURING INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRY All K-Flame Pro fabrics are suitable for industrial laundering according to the ISO method 8, at 75 C with both tumble dry or tunnel finisher. VERSATILITY FOR THE MOST CHALLENGING WORKING ENVIRONMENTS The superior performance of K-Flame fabrics means they are able to satisfy the needs of numerous industrial sectors, from the petrochemical to the offshore industry, from iron and steel to chemicals and mining. They are suitable for multiple applications, including other sectors such as transport of hazardous goods, energy, glass and ceramic industry, transport, utilities, rail and maintenance. K- Flame Pro 175 Laminate K-Flame Pro 175 Laminate is a lightweight flame retardant solution developed with a waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane. Ideal for many end-uses applications, the fabric combines the multi risk protection property with foul weather properties: it offers resistance to heat and flame (EN ISO 11612), while also supplying antistatic protection (EN ). In addition K-Flame Pro 175 Laminate is compliant with EN343 standard to ensure protection against precipitation as rain or snow, fog and ground humidity. Suitable for industrial laundering, K-Flame Pro 175 Laminate is available in High Visibility Yellow and/or with chemical splash protection (EN Type 6).
