PLIFF: Teijin Aramid’s burn evaluation system

At our R&D facility - the Solution Development Department based in Matsuyama, Japan - our research teams in protective technologies are continuously optimizing the quality of our thermal protection materials. As part of our efforts, we have established our own internationally recognized burn evaluation system (ISO 13506), known as Protect Life From Fire (PLIFF). This evaluation system uses a ceramic mannequin to record the effectiveness of different protective garments in minimizing the severity of body burns in temperatures of up to 1,200 °C (2,192 °F). The test results clearly show that Teijinconex®-based protective clothing helps limit burns by providing high performance thermal protection.
