Laser protection clothing - Laser Protection Appron
Laser Safety Clothing European standards
Laser -Safety Clothing (Passive laser PPE) serves as a screen in order to protect the operator against incident laser radiation for as long as possible. However, the user of the laser-protective clothing must be enabled to remove the irradiated body part from the hazard area before a second degree burn occurs. Therefore, the person concerned must be able to percept the effect of the laser radiation, i.e. the pain caused
We have two kinds of protective clothing, respectively applicable to photonics and industry field.
The photonics version (CE/DIN EN 12254:2012-04 ) for Laboratorium use with a maximum laser Power of 100 Watt, with outer lining characterized with dust-free, anti-static and flame retardant is suitable for low power, clean room, optical communication, semiconductor and microelectronics but NOT for laser welding or laser Cleaning.
This Photonic version following (EN 12254 standard) applies to for installations in working places at which laser radiation up to a maximum mean power of 100 W .
So Simply: this is laser protection for low power testlabo's, Can not be used for Laser Welding protection.
The industry version (CE/EN 60825-1/4, IEC 60825-1/13) Special developed for high Power Laser Welding and Laser Cleaning, can be applied to industrial laser processing, especially suitable for handheld laser welder. This last heavy power version is our standard for delivery.
PhotonSafe Laser Safety Clothing following Laser Safety Standards CE/EN 60825-1/4, IEC 60825-1/13: All Lasermach proposed laser protection clothing are respecting the official laser protection standard for high power lasers : not for labo applications.

Carbon Fiber vs Aramid Fiber: Everything You Need to Know
Carbon fiber and aramid fiber are two popular types of high-performance fibers. These are used in various industries and are known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to heat and chemicals. However, despite their similarities, these fibers have distinct differences that affect their performance and application. In this article, we'll explore the differences between carbon fiber and aramid fiber and their pros and cons.
Is Aramid Fiber the Same as Carbon Fiber?
No, aramid fiber is not the same as carbon fiber. While both fibers are classified as "advanced composites," they have different chemical structures and properties.
Carbon fiber is made of thin strands of carbon atoms, which are tightly bound and oriented in a specific direction. The carbon fibers are then woven into fabrics or mats and impregnated with resin to form composite materials. It is known for its high tensile strength, stiffness, and low weight.
Aramid fiber, on the other hand, is a type of synthetic polymer that contains aromatic rings in its molecular structure. The most well-known fiber is Kevlar, which is used in bulletproof vests, helmets, and other protective gear. Aramid fiber has excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, and heat, but is less stiff and strong.
Carbon Fiber vs Kevlar
Kevlar is a brand name for a type of aramid fiber developed by DuPont in the 1960s. It is widely used in ballistic protection, such as bulletproof vests, helmets, and vehicle armor. Kevlar has a tensile strength of around 3.6 GPa (gigapascals), which is five times stronger than steel on a weight-to-weight basis.
Compared to carbon fiber, Kevlar has a lower stiffness and strength, but higher impact resistance and toughness. Kevlar is also more resistant to heat and chemicals. However, Kevlar is not as widely used in structural applications, due to its lower strength and stiffness.
