Flame-resistant (FR) t-shirts are essential protective garments designed for individuals working in hazardous environments where exposure to fire, heat, or electrical arcs is a risk.The primary function of FR t-shirts is to provide an additional layer of safety, ensuring that the fabric resists flames, does not melt or drip, and self-extinguishes when exposed to fire.Durable and breathable, these garments also meet industry safety standards, making them suitable for a wide range of sectors, including oil and gas, electrical work, welding, and construction
● Use of Flame-Resistant Fabrics:
we often use materials like aramid fibers and modacrylic are inherently flame-resistant. These fibers don't melt, drip, or catch fire, providing long-term protection.And we can chemically treate cotton to make it has flame-resistant.
FR t-shirts must meet industry safety standards such as NFPA 2112, ASTM F1506, or OSHA regulations. These standards define the minimum requirements for flame resistance and thermal protection.
● Testing and Certification:
The t-shirts undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet fire-resistance requirements. Testing includes exposing the fabric to flames, measuring how long it takes to ignite, and assessing how quickly it self-extinguishes.
● Durable Construction:
Seams, threads, and other components of the t-shirt must also be flame-resistant. Manufacturers use FR thread and other flame-resistant materials to ensure the whole garment is protective.
Proper washing and care are essential to maintain the flame resistance of the fabric. Harsh detergents or bleach can reduce the effectiveness of flame-retardant treatments, so special care instructions are provided.
