FIRE RETARDANT FINISH
Introduction:
Fire retardant (FR) finish is one of functional performing textile finish applied to fabric while finishing.The fabrics finished with FR are used by manufacturer of protective clothing or uniform of workers or employee or labour who is working closer to fire.These uniform or protective clothing are also called as work wear.
Areas of fire hazards:
Fire furnace of steel industries or other metal/mineral industries have industrial processes need to generate heavy heat to melt solid metals.The workers employed for this process execution must ensure their safety from risk of fire hazards.
The workers who engaged in the electricity power house have risk of electric fire hazards.They must ensure their safety against electric sparks.
The fire fighters of public services have risk of catching fire themselves while involved in extinguishing public or any kind of fires.They must ensure their safety from splitting flames.
Fire Retardant(FR) Finish:
Workwear finished with FR will protect the wearer from fire by resisting the heat or high intense fire for some specific time (The time required to escape from fire hazard place).In this specific time, the FR finish will not allow textile fabric or uniform to catch fire.The resisting time may vary depending on the finish quality or FR brand.
On the other hand,the work wear or uniform or protective clothing must also give comfortness,flexibility and ease to wearer or workmen.In this area of textile protective goods or personal protective equipment (PPE) clothing,many textile and apparel brands have involved in the production of work wear with competitive qualities.
