Protect against burns and reduce risk of operator injury

Gain safety and reliability even under extreme conditions

Lightweight workwear minimizes distractions and enables personnel to focus on critical task being performed

How it works

The Vulcan flame-resistant PPE was designed for personnel working in recovery boiler maintenance and operations. The garment sheds smelt so that burns to the wearer are mitigated. GORE® PYRAD® technology is not a flame-retardant chemical treatment or coating and will not wear off over time. Instead, the PPE fabric is durable and will sustain a stable char over the life of the product without flaking or disintegration.

A partnership built on safety

Personal protection equipment (PPE) made with GORE® PYRAD® Vulcan smelt protective laminate which has been rigorously tested to ensure it performs and protects as intended.  Under standard test methods for evaluating total heat energy (ASTM F955), GORE® PYRAD® Vulcan garments effectively protected against burns or injury caused by smelt splash.  (Tests performed with 500g (1.1lbs) of molten smelt at temperatures of 843°C (1550°F).

Health, safety and environment are core values within Valmet; we have developed safety-driven solutions in the past and are proud to work with GORE to offer a new solution for PPE.
