Flame Resistant Clothing

FR Apparel is designed to protect the wearer from fire hazards. Many people experience fire hazards in their jobs, whether it be manufacturing or metalworking. While the actual rate of fire injuries may be lower than other hazards, it is still best to prepare for the worst. Flame resistant clothing is made of nonflammable fabric that is designed to either extinguish flames or burn exceptionally slow to not harm the wearer. Generic cotton clothing is flammable.

One of the key benefits of flame resistant clothing is that it can provide an extra layer of protection in case of an accident. In the event of a flash fire or explosion, the clothing can help to reduce the severity of burns and other injuries. It can also prevent clothing from catching fire and causing additional injuries.

Flame resistant clothing is available in a variety of styles and designs to suit different workplace needs. Some clothing is designed to be worn as a single layer, while others are made to be worn over other clothing. There are also specialized clothing items, such as gloves and aprons, that provide additional protection for specific areas of the body.

Harmony carries flame resistant clothing in a variety of fabrics, styles, and HRC levels to ensure you have the protection you need. Our FR outerwear keeps you warm in the coldest temperatures, without sacrificing safety. Harmony only stocks quality products from industry leading manufacturers.

What is flame-resistant (FR) clothing?

Flame-resistant clothing is designed to resist ignition, prevent the spread of flames, and self-extinguish almost immediately upon removal of the ignition source. It's primarily used to protect workers from fire-related hazards.

What industries require the use of FR clothing?

FR clothing is commonly required in industries where workers are exposed to the risk of fire or electric arcs. This includes oil and gas, electrical, construction, manufacturing, chemical, and firefighting sectors.

How is FR clothing different from fire retardant clothing?

Flame-resistant clothing is inherently resistant to flames because of the material it's made from. On the other hand, fire retardant clothing is made from materials chemically treated to acquire flame resistance.

How do I care for and clean FR clothing?

FR clothing can typically be washed and dried like regular clothing. However, avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or other additives that could diminish the flame-resistant properties. Always check the manufacturer's instructions for specific care guidelines.

What standards should I look for when buying FR clothing?

Look for FR clothing that meets the standards of organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or ASTM International. For example, NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E are common standards for FR garments.

How often should I replace my FR clothing?

The lifespan of FR clothing depends on factors like the frequency of use, the rigor of your washing cycle, and exposure to workplace conditions. It's recommended to replace your FR clothing when it's visibly damaged, or contaminated, or its flame-resistant properties have diminished.

Can I layer FR clothing for extra protection?

Yes, layering FR clothing can increase protection. However, not all combinations will result in the same level of protection, and some non-FR layers can still pose a risk. Always consult with a safety professional or clothing manufacturer for advice on layering.
