1. Definition
This is a flame retardant canvas one-piece work overall that has obtained OEKO-TEX certification. It integrates sturdy canvas texture, reliable fire protection and eco-friendly safety, designed for professional industrial staff working in flame, spark and high-temperature hazardous environments.
2. Term Explanation
OEKO-TEX
An internationally recognized textile testing and certification system. It verifies the fabric and finished garment contain no harmful substances, meeting global ecological and health standards. Certified products are safe for long-term skin contact, free from toxic chemicals, heavy metals and carcinogenic ingredients.
Flame Resistant Canvas
- Canvas: A dense, heavy-duty woven fabric featuring outstanding abrasion resistance, tear strength and structural durability, a classic material for heavy workwear.
- Flame resistant treatment: The canvas is processed with durable flame retardant finish. It suppresses flame spread and achieves self-extinguishment after leaving fire sources, preventing thermal burns.
Overall
Refers to one-piece coverall workwear. It provides full-body coverage, reinforced seams and practical functional pockets, delivering all-round protection for workers.
3. Fabric & Structure
- Main material: 100% cotton or cotton blended canvas. Cotton-based canvas carbonizes under high heat instead of melting, producing no molten drips to avoid secondary burns.
- Weave: Tight plain weave typical of canvas, ensuring excellent toughness and wear resistance for heavy manual work.
- Craft: Reinforced stitching at stress points; durable dyeing that complies with OEKO-TEX environmental requirements.
4. Core Performance
1. Eco-friendly & Safe (OEKO-TEX Compliance)
All raw materials, dyes and finishing agents pass strict ecological tests. No harmful substances are released, suitable for long-time close-fitting wear.
2. Flame Retardant Performance
When exposed to sparks, transient flame and radiant heat, the fabric forms a protective carbon layer to isolate oxygen. It stops combustion and self-extinguishes rapidly. The flame retardant effect remains stable after repeated industrial washing, complying with EN 11612, NFPA 2112.
3. Physical Performance
High abrasion and tear resistance adapts to rough working conditions. Low shrinkage and good color fastness maintain the garment’s shape and appearance after frequent cleaning.
5. Advantages
- Dual safety guarantee: Combines flame resistance and eco-friendly certification, safe for both body and working environment.
- Extreme durability: Thick canvas structure withstands heavy friction and impact.
- Full-body protection: One-piece overall design covers torso, arms and legs comprehensively.
- Global recognition: OEKO-TEX certification boosts competitiveness for export markets.
6. Limitations
- Thick canvas results in moderate air permeability, slightly stuffy in hot weather.
- Flame retardant performance will deteriorate if washed with bleach or strong alkaline detergents.
- Cotton canvas is prone to slight wrinkling after laundering.
7. Application Scenarios
- Heavy-duty workwear for welding, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing and construction sites
- Protective overalls for petrochemical, oil & gas and other fire-risk industrial areas
- Eco-friendly certified work uniforms for enterprises with strict textile safety requirements
- Export-grade protective apparel for European and international markets
8. Relevant Standards
- Ecological certification: OEKO-TEX Standard 100
- Flame resistance: EN 11612, NFPA 2112
- Fabric physical tests: ISO 13934, ISO 13937
- Color fastness: ISO 105 series
- Dimensional stability: ISO 6330
Measurements are in inches.
Hint: For the most accurate results, measure yourself in your undergarments.
Neck: Measure around the base of your neck, inserting your forefinger between the tape and your neck to allow ease in fit.
Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping tape firmly under your armpits and around your shoulder blades.
Waist: Measure around your waist, slightly below your natural waist, where you normally wear your pants. Insert your forefinger between the tape and your body to allow ease in fit.
