In naval warfare, once the ship is exploded and caught fire by anti-ship missiles or torpedoes, the fire and high temperature will attack in an instant, and the life safety of the crew will be greatly threatened. The anti flash and explosion mask gloves can protect and maintain the normal action ability of shipmen under high temperature conditions to a certain extent.
Their thermal insulation and heat resistance are good. Even if the crew accidentally touches the hot equipment after wearing it, their arms and heads will not be seriously injured.
In the battle of Jutland in 1916, sailors of the British Royal Navy at that time wore ordinary protective clothing, and many people were burned by flames and high temperatures. Although this kind of burn is not fatal, it can make people lose a certain amount of action in a short time and affect combat or escape. Later, people found that the cloth soaked in borax and boric acid had good heat insulation and flame retardant effects, so they had the original anti flash mask and gloves.
In the 1960s, a foreign company invented Nomex material, a fabric made of high-end filament aramid. Experiments show that it can burn on a flame of hundreds of degrees Celsius for a long time without being ignited. In addition, it also has the characteristics of acid and alkali resistance, light weight, good flexibility and so on. Therefore, it quickly replaced the cloth soaked in borax and boric acid and became the main material for manufacturing anti flash and explosion masks and gloves.
Nowadays, anti flash and explosion masks and gloves have been important personal protective equipment for the navies of various countries. These anti flash and explosion masks and gloves do not need to be worn at ordinary times. When the ship sounds the battle alarm, enters the combat state or the ship may be attacked, the crew will wear it in place at the first time.
In the past, only a few countries in the world were able to mass produce Nomex materials due to its difficult development technology, complex production process and high investment cost. Nowadays, with the success of relevant scientific researchers in China, anti flash and explosion masks and gloves have also appeared in the personal protective equipment of officers and soldiers of the people's navy.
