Is flame retardant protective clothing afraid of fire?

2021-03-15

This is a misunderstanding about the scope of application and usage scenarios. Some companies take it for granted that flame-retardant protective clothing is fire-resistant and not afraid of fire clothing. When encountering a fire accident, they can wear flame-retardant protective clothing to carry out fire fighting operations, and even pass through the fire site. This is a very wrong and dangerous understanding. The non-applicable scope of flame-retardant protective clothing is specified in the national standard for flame-retardant protective clothing: it is not suitable for use in fire and rescue. Flame-retardant protective clothing is passive protective equipment that can maximize the safety of operators at the scene of the accident to ensure the safe escape of workers at the scene of the accident, rather than active rescue equipment. There is a clear difference between the two. Professional fire-fighting protective clothing has stricter performance and structure requirements. It is often multi-layered, which can withstand more heat erosion and protect the operator from heat damage. It must be worn by professionally trained firefighters and used by non-professional firefighters. Personnel wearing ordinary flame-retardant protective clothing to carry out fire fighting and rescue operations will be very risky. Xinxiang Yulong Textile Co., Ltd. has spent 19 years.
