Metalworkers are exposed to the possibility of serious injury every day. Hot, molten metal can cause severe burns, and the only way to ensure that this risk is averted is using quality, purpose-made PPE. CHARNAUD® provides protection against molten metal through our METAL-SAFE® head-to-foot® range. Let’s look at what the range encompasses.
Layers and Levels: The Secret to Complete Protection
Complete protection from the extreme heat one encounters when dealing with molten metal typically involves multiple layers of fabrics that ensure the wearer is covered from head to toe. Every millimetre of skin should be safely shrouded in protective gear. The head and face must be protected by a dedicated hood and face protection system.
The CHARNAUD® METAL-SAFE® range includes all these elements to provide multi-level, multi-layered protection.

What is Included in the METAL-SAFE® Range?
The METAL-SAFE® range is designed to be used as a holistic solution. It is not sufficient to wear one of the garments or accessories on its own. Rather, the range is designed to cover metalworkers from head to foot.
The range is made from aluminised FR fabric to protect against intense radiant heat and heavy molten metal splash. This fabric won’t burn or melt and reflects up to 95% of radiant heat. The aluminized jacket is worn over trousers made of the same material. Aluminized boots with lined spats protect the feet against any splashes that may miss the bodies protective garments. To complete the protective, head-to-foot® barrier, a Aluminized hood with protective visor must be placed on the head, and thermal-lined gloves put on the hands.
In this way, the items in the METAL-SAFE® range work together to provide complete protection for metalworkers.
