Lakeland ALM® aluminised garments offer high quality protection against convective, radiant and contact heat for workers in industries such as foundries, steel processing, glass and ceramics manufacture and many others. Using superior Gentex “Dual Mirror”® technology the pure aluminium mirrored outer surface reflects 95% or more of heat radiation*. This means less of the radiated heat penetrates through the fabric, allowing operators in heatcritical environments to work for longer and to maintain safety at the highest level. Available in three fabric choices and a range of standard and bespoke garments, Lakeland ALM® offers the choices to ensure workers remain safe in a variety of applications. * Aluminium has a reflectivity in the infra-red spectrum of 93 to 97%.

ALM® - Industrial Heat Protective Clothing and Accessories Buyer’s Guide The primary purpose of aluminised garments is to protect workers from the radiant heat present in some common industrial environments. Burns result when skin absorbs heat energy: the more rapid the temperature rise the greater the damage. ALM® garments work by minimising the heat energy that penetrates through to the skin beneath. The pure aluminium surface of Lakeland ALM® garments means up to 95% of heat energy radiation is reflected away from the wearer. This is why in CE heat testing all three ALM® fabric options...

Protect Your People Heat Types and CE Tests The EN 11612 standard for flame and heat protection includes optional (only 1 is compulsory) tests against various heat types. Those most relevant for Lakeland ALM® garments are the radiant (Code C), Convective (Code b) and Contact (Code E) These tests assess the time to record a rise in temperature (24oC in B and C, 10oC in F) in a heat sensor held behind the fabric. ALM® 300 and 500 have also been tested against splashes of molten aluminium (Code D) and molten iron (Code E). These tests measure the volume in grams of molten metal required to...
