Flame-retardant clothing and arc-proof clothing are common equipment in industrial labor protection
Flame retardant clothing is widely used in oil fields, petrochemical, gas stations, chemical industry, fire protection and other occasions that require various protection for clothing.
Arc protection clothing is worn by full-time or part-time electric employees of electric power and social enterprises and institutions, in daily work, in potential arc environments (but not suitable for use in special environments with chemical hazards, poisonous gas, nuclear radiation, etc.), and when escaping from arc explosion accidents. protective suit.
So what exactly is the difference between the two?
Flame retardant clothing is divided into intrinsic flame retardant clothing and post-treatment flame retardant clothing.
Usually, the cost of intrinsic flame-retardant fabrics is higher than that of chemical flame-retardant fabrics, but work clothes made of intrinsic flame-retardant fabrics will be more durable than work clothes made of chemical flame-retardant fabrics. Work clothes made of intrinsically flame-retardant fabrics will not lose their flame-retardant properties after repeated washing.
Designed to protect workers from fire-related hazards. Its working principle is that the flame-retardant fiber in the fabric or the fiber that has been post-treated to achieve the flame-retardant effect greatly slows down the burning speed, and it can extinguish itself immediately after the fire source is removed, and the burning part does not produce molten droplets, giving people time to evacuate Burn the scene or take off the burning clothes on the body, reduce or avoid burns and scalds, and achieve the purpose of protection.
The protective effect of arc-proof clothing is based on the principle of arc discharge, and the ability to resist arc damage is mainly due to the special function of the arc-proof clothing fabric. When an arc explosion occurs, this functional fabric will expand rapidly and the fabric will be carbonized, which will increase the tissue density and thicken the arc protection clothing, and quickly form a protective layer, thereby minimizing the contact damage between the human skin and the arc heat. . Special functions determine the excellent characteristics of arc protection clothing, such as lightness, breathability, moisture permeability, intrinsic flame retardant without molten droplets, no weakening of flame retardant effect due to washing, health and environmental protection, etc.
There are many similarities between arc protection clothing and flame retardant clothing. The difference is that arc protection clothing can provide a higher level of protection. All arc protection clothing is flame retardant, but not all flame retardant clothing is arc resistant.
