Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between flame resistant and arc-rated clothing?

    Flame resistant clothing protects against heat and flames by resisting ignition. Arc-rated clothing provides the same flame resistance but has been specifically tested to protect against arc flash hazards, which involve sudden electrical discharges. In short, all arc-rated clothing is flame resistant, but not all flame resistant clothing is arc-rated.

  • What is flame resistant clothing used for?

    Flame resistant clothing is used in industries where exposure to sparks, open flames or high heat is a daily risk. This includes welding, electrical work, oil and gas, mining and utility services. The garments are designed to self-extinguish and resist ignition, reducing the severity of burns if an accident occurs.

  • How long does flame resistant clothing last?

    The lifespan varies depending on the fabric type and how well it’s cared for. Inherent flame-resistant fibres maintain their protective qualities for the life of the garment, while treated fabrics may lose effectiveness after repeated washing or heavy wear. Proper laundering and regular inspections are essential to ensure continued protection.
