Heat and flame resistant clothingWorkers of steel mill, moulding
factory, welding
factory, glass item manufacturing factory requires heatand flame
resistant clothing
These factories produces enough heat and flame
Human body feels burning effects at 45C and burningoccurs at

Heat and flame resistant clothing
This work wear gives some time to save life/injury.
If working condition requires high temperature forlonger time,
clothing should be very compactly wovenand thickness should be
higher
higher the still air, higher the heat resistant
If fabric density is very low when it cannot retain air,shows
lower heat resistant.

Heat and flame resistant clothing
Working at higher temperature for short time requires
thicker fabric with more weights as it shows betterheat
resistant property.
For example, gloves made of jersey wool having pilefibers shows
good thermal resistance at 270C.

Heat and flame resistant clothing If molten iron, aluminium and
magnesium
splinters drops on clothing, work wear should bemade of very
heavy and thick woolen fabrics.
This type of fabric that is 540 GSM can protecthuman body of 350
ml molten metal.
270 -350 GSM fabric can protect splinters of metals
Knitted fabric structure shows better performancethan woven.

Zirpro woolen fabric and caliban finished fabric canprotect
human body from molten splinters ofaluminium.
As per protection length of time, following fabrics are
listed as per merit1. Zirpro wool, 2. 85/15 zirpro/glass

Two ply zirpro wool shows better performance, ideally290 GSM
twill as outer and 230 GSM rib as inner.
Two ply shows better result of same thickness of oneply.
To increase f lame retardency on woolen fiber, mixcompound of
titanium and zirconium is used forfinishing wool fabric, is called
zirpro finish.
