Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the primary applications for the flame retardant Kevlar Cover?

    The Kevlar Cover is designed to enhance safety in potentially explosive and over-pressure environments by reducing the risk of fire. It is ideally suited for industries where fire hazards are a concern, including chemical manufacturing, oil and gas processing, and other settings where sparks or high temperatures may ignite combustible materials. The cover fits over existing connectors, providing an added layer of protection without the need for tool installation.

  • How does the Kevlar Cover improve safety in hazardous environments?

    Made from flame-retardant Kevlar, this cover serves as a critical safety feature by shielding connectors from direct exposure to flames and high temperatures, thus preventing the ignition of fire. Its ability to withstand continuous temperatures up to 260°C and surge temperatures up to 300°C makes it an effective solution for high-temperature applications, while its easy installation and removal enhance safety protocols without complicating routine operations.

  • What are the key physical properties and features of the Kevlar Cover?

    The Kevlar Cover is constructed from a multi-filament plain weave Kevlar fabric, known for its high tensile strength and flame retardancy. The fabric has a weight of 447 g/m2, and it is both scoured and heat-set to improve its durability and performance under extreme conditions. It features a simple installation process that does not require tools, fits over any connector in the range, and is designed to be breathable yet not dust tight.

  • What certifications does the Kevlar Cover hold, and how do they support its use in industrial applications?

    While the Kevlar Cover itself is not 3A certified, it is designed to be used with 3A certified connectors, which are standards for sanitary fittings in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, it is compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.1632, making it suitable for contact with food substances. It is also Atex Certified, indicating its suitability for use in dust explosion hazardous areas, which is crucial for maintaining safety standards in industries where dust particulates could pose an explosion risk.
