P|13Progress 1 |2013 Protective textiles are only as effective for their purpose as the complex material compounds they are made of: Textile components, plastic protectors, metal coatings, mechanically and chemically treated surfaces, have to form one compound. Bonding is the primary type of joi- ning method in the production of protective textiles. The adhesives used must provide a wide adhesion spec- trum to a large number or materials, and combine this with additional specific advantages. Protection against heat and open fire Our skin reacts to temperatures above 45 °C with pain, and above 55 °C with burns. Protection against these thermal risks is offered by thermal protection garments. Ever since the Stone Age, mankind has been using textiles for protection. Then as now, textiles are ex- pected to fulfil certain functions for the wearer. Of course, the demands on the textile of today are not the same as in the Stone Age, where the only function was protection from the cold – today, the protection must be effective for a wide variety of risks, from fire, to chemicals, bacteria etc. It is important that mo- dern protective clothing can be worn with the highest possible level of comfort.
