- Warp: -2,0 – PASS
- Weft: -2,0 – PASS
- Tear Resistance (ISO 13937-2:2000)
The relative expanded uncertainty of Tear resistance is ±3.9% assay value of the measured, for a probability of coverage of 95%. Is determined the Lengthwise and Crosswise directions, respectively.
REQUISITE ACCORDING TO EN ISO 11612:2015
The external material must resist a determination of tear resistance in both directions ≥ 10 N.
- Warp strength: – 54N- PASS
- Weft strength: 36N – PASS
- Determining Heat Transmission on Exposure to Flame (ISO 9151:2016) – performance level – B1
- Average value for HTIa24 (s): 4,7
Performance | Range of HTIa24 |
| Minimum Maximum |
B1 | 4,0 < 10,0 |
B2 | 10,0 < 20,0 |
B3 | 20,0 |
a: Heat transfer index, as defined in ISO 9151.
- Radiant Heat (ISO 6942) – performance level – C1
- Average value for RHTI 24 (s): 14,3
Performance | Range of HTIa24 |
| Minimum Maximum |
C1 | 7,0 < 20,0 |
C2 | 20,0 < 50,0 |
C3 | 50,0 < 95,0 |
C4 | 95,0 |
ª: Heat transfer index, as defined in ISO 6942
- Contact Heat (ISO 12127-1:2015) – performance level – F1
- Average threshold time (S): 7,6
ISO 12127-1:2007 specifies a test method for the determination of contact heat transmission. It is applicable to protective clothing (including hand protectors) and its constituent materials intended to protect against high contact temperatures. ISO 12127-1:2007 is restricted to contact temperatures between 100°C and 500°C.
Performance | Threshold time (s) | |
Minimum | Maximum | |
F1 | 5,0 | < 10,0 |
F2 | 10,0 | < 15,0 |
F3 | 15,0 | |
The performance requirements set out in ISO 11612:2015 are applicable to garments which could be worn for a wide range of end uses, where there is a need for clothing with limited flame spread properties and where the user can be exposed to radiant or convective or contact heat or to molten metal splashes.
Murano-250 is a modacrylic fabric for fr-clothing. Made with modacrylic-cotton blend it has inherently flame retardant composition. It also includes nylon for more durability and antistatic fibers to avoid static electricity. Murano-250 is a very comfortable and versatile fr-fabric for long lasting protective performance.
