Lightweight, flexible protective fabrics for protecting a person, animal or other object from hot burning materials, hot
high heat capacity and / or hot corrosive materials, such as hot
molten metal, hot oily liquids (e.g.,
heating oil), hot gels, hot solids, hot sparks, and hot acids. The lightweight protective fabrics can be used to protect a person, animal or other object from hot molten metals, such as
liquid metal zinc heated to a temperature of about 950° F. (510° C.) or greater, hot molten aluminum heated to a temperature of about 1150° F. (620° C.) or greater, burning
phosphorus at temperature of about 1550° F. (843° C.) or greater, hot
solid iron having a temperature of about 500° F. (260° C.) or greater, hot
heating oil having a temperature of about 500° F. (260° C.) or greater, and hot
hydrochloric acid having a temperature of about 300° F. (150° C.) or greater.
