Manufacturers design flame-resistant (FR) clothing to protect workers from hazards like flames, extreme heat, and electrical arcs. Workers in high-risk environments rely on FR clothing for essential safety. It comes in many forms—coats, sleeves, overalls, jackets, aprons, vests, shirts, coveralls, and pants. Designers use advanced materials that resist ignition and self-extinguish when exposed to flames, protecting skin from severe burns and injuries.

Specialized fabrics power FR clothing’s effectiveness. Manufacturers use treated cotton, flame-resistant blends, or inherently flame-resistant fibers to prevent fire spread and reduce severe burn. They often enhance FR apparel with features like reinforced stitching, double layers, and flame-resistant coatings to boost durability and protection. Designers add high collars to jackets and coats to protect the neck and torso. They tailor aprons to shield the body during flame-related tasks. These garments help workers stay safe and comfortable in tough conditions.
