Flame Resistant Clothing and Heat Resistant Clothing

Certified and approved based on ASTM standards, flame resistant (FR) clothing is essential for workers exposed to thermal hazards like flames and high temperatures. When deciding between different FR clothing options, keep in mind that:

Link to Xinxing FR

• FR clothing is not an injury prevention solution, nor is it fireproof
• FR clothing is far less likely to ignite after exposure to an arc flash or thermal hazard (compared to clothing made with non-FR fabrics) and can be extinguished quickly. These properties decrease the potential degree of the wearer’s injuries.
• FR clothing is less likely to tear, rip, melt, or break open when exposed to thermal hazards or high temperatures, shielding your workers’ skin from further injury
• Based on the OSHA CFR .269 standard, employers are required to provide appropriate FR clothing to workers in contact with or near a potential thermal hazard due to how far flames and debris can travel

What are the Differences Between Flame Resistant and Flame-Retardant Clothing?

It's important to consider factors such as durability, level of protection, comfort, and cost when choosing between FR clothing items. It's also important to think about the needs and requirements of the wearer and the working environment, as characteristics between clothing items can vary, especially when considering flame resistant versus fire-retardant clothing.

• Flame Resistant Clothing is made with inherently FR materials, meaning the FR properties are a characteristic of the fibers of the fabric. Examples of FR fibers include Nomex, Kevlar, and modacrylic fibers.
• Flame-Retardant Clothing is made from materials that are not inherently flame resistant, such as cotton, and have been treated with chemical flame retardants to make the clothing flame resistant. Flame-retardant clothing can also be designed to slow down the combustion process.

Construction and Ratings of Flame Resistant Clothing

Magid offers both inherently FR and treated FR solutions as well as options with dual-hazard protection to shield against both electric arc flash and hydrocarbon flash fires. We offer NFPA and NFPA 70E compliant garments in CAT Levels 1 to 4 to provide your workers with safe and reliable protection for a variety of applications. These ratings indicate how much protection is needed based on the energy created by an arc flash incident (in calories per cm²) with higher ratings indicating a greater level of protection.
