TRANSCRIPT
Heat and Flame Resistant
What does our topic mean???
To save the body and life from the risk of flame and heat……
Why do we use it….
steel mill, molding factory, welding factory, glass factory
Electric Arc (electricians, electric utility lineman, etc.),
Flash Fire (refinery, chemical and pharmaceutical workers, etc.)
Combustible Dust Explosion (workers in the paper and pulp industry,
Food processing, paint, and many more industries).
Who wears Flame Resistant (FR) clothing?
Higher thicknessLower compactnessMore still airMore heat resistantThermal resistant 270 dg celsius for short period.
Fabric specification
Woolen fabric of 540 GSMKnit in structureNormally flame retardent clothing are made from
zirpro woolen fabric and caliban finished cotton fabric which protect human body from molten splinter of aluminium.
aramid,glass are used.Aluminozed finish is also used.
Construction of heat resistant fabric
FR: Flame Resistant. It refers to the ability of a material to self-extinguish upon the removal of an ignition source.
FRC: Flame Resistant Clothing. It is quite common that safety minded customers refer to Safety Garments or Flame Resistant Apparel simply as “FRC.”
What does FR & FRC mean ?
FR Clothing Construction
+ + = MaximumProtection
Base Layer Mid Layer Outer Layer
Three types FR clothing 1) one ply 2)two ply and 3) three plyThere is the three ply garments
Basically cotton garments are used as base “protective” layer.
Base layer garments made of inherently FR fibers will not burn, melt or ignite when exposed to direct flame and have exceptional electrical resistance.
These fabrics are comfortable, dry quickly and wick moisture effectively, even when worn in extreme conditions.
Base Layer
Inherently flame retardant, anti-static, lightweight long sleeved polo shirt. Ideal as a layering system for additional
protection without compromising on comfort, could also be worn as a lighter weight more comfortable layer underneath a jacket, fleece or sweatshirt.
Made with Protal, Modacrylic fibre.
Mid Layer
Flame retardant workwear needs to be hard wearing, comfortable, cost effective and provide suitable protection for the wearer.
There are lots of different cotton treated FR work wear garments available on the market
Heavyweight cotton treated flame retardant and anti-static coverall with FR reflective tape
Outer Layer
The cloth is made from two ply zirpro wool fabrics; the outer ply twill fabric of 290 GSM and inner ply is rib fabric of 230 GSM show longer time flame retardency than 552 GSM single ply zirpro wool fabric.

Fabric structure
Ideally wash FR garments separately to avoid damaging
the luminescent effect or wash them inside out to reduce the abrasion on other garments.
Using caution
