The garments in this section are flame resistant with the exception of the disposable coveralls which are flame retardant.
The flame resistant garments are constructed from flame resistant fabrics and components, they resist ignition and will not continue
to burn when removed from the ignition source.
Designed for continuous wear, these garments meet the performance requirements of NFPA 70E (1995 Edition) and NFPA 1975 (1994 Edition).
The meet the flame resistant requirements of ASTM F1506-94, and are acceptable under OSHA Final Rule 1910.269.
Note: These garments are not intended for fire entry or structural fire fighting activities and provide no
personal protection from chemical exposures. Remove garments at once is fouled with flammable material.

FLAME RESISTANT PROTECTIVE FABRIC DESCRIPTIONS
|
|
Composition: A unique blend of Du-Pont Nomex, Kevlar, and
inherently static resistant carbon fibers.
Application, Performance, Protection & Comfort: Light weight, comfortable; excellent color
selection and durability, excellent antistatic properties in most environments. Good wash and wear appearance. For
most applications except welding. Shirts, pants, coveralls, lightweight and extreme weather outwear.
Durability & Longevity: Extremely durable, expect 2-4 year garment lifespans under normal conditions.
Initial Cost & Life Cycle Cost: Higher initial cost, but best overall cost per wearing due to
the longevity of the garment.
|
|
Composition: A high performance blend of 60% DuPont Kevlar Aramid and 40% Hoechst Celanese Polybenzimidazole (PBI).
Application, Performance, Protection & Comfort: Light weight, retains fiber integrity and suppleness after flame exposure; excellent durability, good antistatic properties in most environments. Naturally
absorbent to moisture. Good wash and wear appearance. natural gold color only.
For most applications except welding. Shirts, pants, coveralls, lightweight and extreme weather outerwear.
Durability & Longevity: Excellent durability, expect 2-3 year garment lifespans under normal conditions.
Initial Cost & Life Cycle Cost: Highest initial cost, extreme thermal stability. Very good life cycle cost due to the longevity of the garment.
|
|
Composition: A comfort blend of 50% Kermel and 50% FR treated Viscose, a synthetic cellulosic fiber.
Application, Performance, Protection & Comfort: Soft, naturally absorbent and antistatic in most environments, very comfortable,
very good durability. Very cost effective.
Available in royal blue and navy colors only. heavier than most fabrics. Good wash and wear appearance. For most applications
except welding. Shirts, pants, coveralls, lightweight and extreme weather outerwear.
Durability & Longevity: Excellent durability, expect 2-3 year garment lifespans under normal conditions.
Initial Cost & Life Cycle Cost: Initial cost similar to Nomex IIIA. Very good life cycle cost due to the longevity of the garment.
|
|
Composition: 100% cotton treated with a chemical flame retardant to produce a permanently flame resistant fabric.
Application, Performance, Protection & Comfort: Soft, naturally absorbent and antistatic in most environments, comfortable, with fair durability. Heavier fabric weights.
Fair wash and wear appearance. For most applications. Suitable for welding. Shirts, pants, coveralls, lightweight and extreme weather outerwear.
Durability & Longevity: Fair durability, expect 6-18 month garment lifespans under normal conditions.
Initial Cost & Life Cycle Cost: Lowest initial cost, higher life cycle cost due to shorter garment lifespan.
