The PIP 202-130 is a single-layer Nomex balaclava with bib designed to provide flame-resistant head and neck coverage in demanding industrial environments. Crafted from 100% Nomex, this balaclava offers inherent flame resistance that does not diminish with washing, helping workers maintain a protective barrier during exposure to heat and flames. The bib construction adds front and back coverage with a 6-inch single-layer bib, contributing to continued protection when the head and neck are most exposed on the job.
Nomex materials carbonize and thicken when subjected to high heat, forming a protective char that increases thermal barrier effectiveness and can add valuable seconds of protection in a thermal event. This product is described as meeting OSHA flame-resistance expectations for fabrics, and its material durability aligns with Nomex performance characteristics, supporting longer wear life in demanding settings. While the balaclava focuses on flame resistance, it also provides limited chemical splash protection, broadening its use in environments where both heat and chemical exposure are concerns.
The PIP 202-130 is a “One Size Fits Most” option, facilitating quick sizing decisions for teams and reducing the need for specialized fitting. It is offered in white and is packaged per piece, with the case quantity listed as 12 pieces per case. This balance of coverage, material properties, and practical sizing makes it suitable for applications in chemical plants, metal and glass manufacturing, natural gas operations, and certain law enforcement scenarios where face and neck protection is required. When selecting this balaclava, consider compatibility with other PPE worn in downstream tasks and ensure proper fit over headgear and helmets to maintain uninterrupted protection.
