Overview
Gintex-HP23 is a 200 gsm aramid-based ripstop fabric designed for demanding protective workwear applications. Its composition of 75% meta-aramid, 23% para-aramid and 2% anti-static fiber combines an aramid-based flame-resistant construction with a chemical liquid resistant treatment.
The fabric's listed performance includes EN ISO 11611 Class 1 (A1 A2), EN ISO 11612 (A1 A2 B1 C1 F1), NFPA 2112 PASS, EN 1149-5 PASS and ISO 6530 PASS. Its ripstop construction and reported mechanical strength make it an option for protective clothing development in oil and gas, petrochemical, fire and rescue, and other demanding industrial environments.
With a weight of 200 ± 5 gsm, Gintex-HP23 combines a lightweight aramid construction with high tensile strength, tear resistance and abrasion resistance. The chemical liquid resistant treatment provides an additional performance feature for applications where liquid chemical exposure is a consideration. Specific chemical compatibility should be confirmed against the relevant test reports and intended substances.
Why It Works
Inherent Flame Resistance: Aramid-based construction with listed performance against EN ISO 11612 and NFPA 2112.
Chemical Liquid Resistant Treatment: Designed for applications requiring resistance to liquid chemical penetration; suitability depends on the chemicals involved and the relevant test results.
Ripstop Construction: Reinforced fabric structure designed to help limit tear propagation.
High Tensile Strength: 1520 N in the warp direction and 1000 N in the weft direction
Strong Tear Resistance: 90 N warp and 76 N weft.
Excellent Abrasion Resistance: More than 50,000 cycles at 12 kPa.
Anti-Static Performance: EN 1149-5 PASS
Dimensional Stability: -2.0% warp and -0.2% weft after five washes at 60°C.
Pilling Resistance: Grade 4 after 5,000 cycles
