John Tillman 8436 Aluminized Carbon Kevlar Bib Apron - 1 Each

The standout feature of this model is its integrated internal heat shield, designed to minimize heat transfer during prolonged welding cycles. Combined with comprehensive Kevlar® stitching throughout the body, the 8436 resists direct seam-burns, sparks, and intense thermal radiation, ensuring your hands stay safe and comfortable during demanding shifts.

Key Features:

• Premium Heavy Split Cowhide: Crafted from select, high-grade split cowhide leather that delivers superior abrasion, puncture, and radiant heat defense.
• Integrated Heat Shield: Features an advanced, multi-layer internal lining that dramatically slows down heat progression to the back of the hand.
• 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® Stitching: All seams are locked with high-tensile Kevlar® thread that resists sparks, intense flame, and heat degradation without snapping or unraveling.
• Reinforced Welting: Critical high-wear areas, including the seams around the fingers and thumb base, are reinforced with leather welting to prevent spark exposure.
• 14-Inch Extended Protection: The long safety cuff extends broad protection past the wrist, keeping forearms safe from falling slag, sparks, and hot grinding debris.
• Comfort Cotton Lining: Fully lined with a soft cotton layer that absorbs sweat, eliminates chafing, and adds a soft barrier against internal temperatures.

Ideal Applications:

• Heavy Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW / Stick): Excellent for construction sites, pipeline welding, and structural steel erection.
• Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW): High-heat protection against the heavy spatter and bright glare typical of dual-shield or self-shielded wire processes.
• Foundry & High-Heat Handling: Ideal for managing hot metal parts, slag chipping, and general heavy-duty shop fabrication.
