VOSS Helmets for Extreme Areas of Application

Industrial safety helmets for hot zones and high grade or unidentified demands

Industrial safety helmets of duroplastic and thermoplastic helmets with duroplastic properties developed and designed for hot zones and unidentified demands. Duroplastic helmets are shaped by a moulding cycle of pressure and heat. Below is an overview of materials used by VOSS-HELME, and their properties:

	INAP-PCG	INTEX
	Glass fibre reinforced polycarbonate	Phenolic resin fabric
Durability outdoors	10 years	8 years
Heat resistance	very good, exceeding 1.000 °C (for a short period)	very good, exceeding 1.000 °C (for a short period)
Side rigidity	very good	satisfactory
Shell manufactured	mechanically	mainly by hand
Specific gravity	1,20 g/cm3	1,60 g/cm3
Properties	excellent dimensional stability under heat no dripping off or residual burning of shell in contact with heat self-extinguishing material properties high energy dissipation when receiving blows particularly low temperatures inside and on the helmet near heat breaking strength of material in cold high abrasion resistance limited chemical stability excellent stability no penetration of shell to fit harness colouring of material possible	excellent dimensional stability under heat no dripping off or residual burning of shell in contact with heat easily identified as safety helmet by neutral colour virtually unlimited breaking strength of material in cold conditions good abrasion resistance good chemical stability low electrostatic charging (10^6 to 10^8 Ohm) satisfactory stability penetration of shell to fit harness colouring by varnishing shell
