How do fire-resistant shirts prevent fire?

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.

● Compliance with Standards:

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.

●  Washing and Maintenance Instructions:

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.
