What are the application areas of flame retardant clothing?

Flame-retardant clothing is mainly used in industrial furnaces, metal thermal processing, welding, chemical, petroleum and other fields. After contact with flames and hot objects, it can slow down the flame to burn, and reduce the human body from fire damage due to the burning of clothing.

Domestic metallurgy, chemical, petroleum, forestry, fire protection, electric power and other industries have passed various relevant laws and regulations to require the addition of flame-retardant protective clothing to corresponding positions. "Labor Protection Equipment Equipment Standard (Trial)" (China Economic and Trade Commission Safety [2000] No. 189), for foundry workers, electric welders, thermal operators, mechanical gas generators, furnace workers, glass melting chemicals and similar types of work, The regulations for the purchase of flame-retardant clothing are clearly put forward.

In view of the special nature of various positions and workplaces of employees, Wuxi Deep-protection has sorted out the main points that should be paid attention to when buying flame-retardant work clothes:

1) Workplaces that are prone to static sparks and have anti-static regulations, belong to Zone 0 and Zone 1 explosion hazard areas, and the small ignition energy of combustibles is below 0.25J, and anti-static flame retardant clothing should be added.

2) Workplaces that emit productive dust should be equipped with flame-retardant clothing with dust-proof function.

3) Casters, electric welders and other workplaces where metal droplets are splashed should be equipped with welding clothing.

4) Heat-operating workers, mechanical gas generators, furnace workers, and other working places with open flame radiation should be equipped with white flag cloth flame-retardant clothing or aluminum-coated flame-retardant clothing with good heat insulation and anti-heat radiation.

5) For live working on high voltage equipment with a communication voltage of 500KV and below, live working shielding clothing should be equipped.

6) In workplaces with high humidity or where there are a lot of vaporizable liquids, fire-retardant work clothes with waterproof function should be equipped to prevent the protective clothing from absorbing water vaporization and increasing the risk of scalding; if there are flammable liquids in the workplace, it should be equipped with There are anti-seepage flame-retardant work clothes to prevent the work clothes from losing the flame-retardant function after absorbing flammable liquids; if there are corrosive chemicals in the work place, flame-retardant work clothes with chemical protection functions should be equipped to prevent the work clothes from being saturated Harmful chemical substances damage workers.

7) The color of the work clothes should be in harmony with the workplace to ensure that the contaminated dirt is clearly visible, and retro-reflective safety signs should be affixed when necessary.

8) According to the working nature of workers in different workplaces, flame-retardant work clothes should be used in conjunction with head, eye and face, hand, and foot protective equipment to complete the overall protection of workers.

In fact, the application field of flame-retardant clothing is very widespread, but for different operating environments, when we choose flame-retardant clothing, the requirements for stacking materials may be different.
