A dangerous and demanding environment faces the welder virtually every day. Difco SAFEWELD® 950 is designed specifically to meet and exceed the needs of welders.
Safeweld uses an advanced blend of Lenzing FR® /Kevlar® (60/40 blend), weighs only 9.0 o.p.s.y. features a Twill weave construction and is fin- ished with Difco’s superior Stay Dry Plus® water repellant finish. In field tests in some of the most de- manding environments, Safeweld is still going strong after 4 years of intensive use, making it exceptionally cost-effective, stronger and more durable than cotton with less repairs and lasts 6 to 8 times longer then cotton.

Furthermore, SAFEWELD® 950 was tested at the Kinectrics high current Lab for Arc Flash resistance. The Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) obtained was 8.1 Cal/cm2 complying with NFPA 70E (Level 2) standard for the FR protection against Arc Flash.
