Flame Retardant Workwear

Flame retardant workwear usually consists of two types.  First is chemically treated cotton (often called probanised cotton, but it goes by various brand names) and you may hear people refer to these as a Proban Boilersuit etc.  The effectiveness of the chemical treatment diminishes with laundering so after a certain number of washes, the FR properties will no longer meet the standard.  This is usually at least 25 washes so the chances are the garment will be coming to the end of its' life anyway, particularly considering the amount of stick these industries tend to give their workwear.

The second type of flame retardant workwear is 'inherently' fire retardant.  This is a special type of fabric (Protex and Nomex are brand names) that remains flame retardant for the life of the garment regardless of the laundering.  These garments are more expensive and are usually preferred by industries that aren't quite so hard on their workwear.

The most popular items in our FR range are flame retardant coveralls (also known as overalls or boilersuits) and this is because of the full body protection afforded - there are no gaps for sparks and molten splash to get through.  Flame retardant boilersuits usually have other special features like studded cuffs and neck (to prevent ingress of sparks) and covered zips (the metal in the zip can otherwise get hot).
