Carbon Shield is a flame-resistant fabric based on carbon fire technology that: Is non-flammable and melt-proof; will glow, but not burn in extreme heat or flame; deposits no tar; retains a certain tenacity at temperatures exceeding 2300°F for 90 seconds; has low-heat conductivity; is over 20% lighter than most NFPA-compliant hoods, yet has an excellent Thermal Protection Performance (TPP) rating of 28; will remain supple and soft after exposure to fire, as well as repeated washing and drying; allows 200% stretch and recovery; will not fade or weaken when exposed to UV rays; has excellent moisture regain; can neutralize unpleasant odors due to the carbon fibers; and wicks moisture away from the skin to the outer shell enabling rapid evaporation for increased comfort and protection.

Flame resistance is commonly measured by the highest Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI), the amount of oxygen needed to support combustion. The higher the LOI value, the more flame-resistant the material. Carbon Shield has an LOI over 50% higher than Nomex ® and 33% higher than PBI/Rayon blends.
