There is a wide range of face fabrics available for use as the outer layer in the construction of fire fighting garments. The fibres used in the weaving of these fabrics are generally either a para-aramid or a meta-aramid often blended with carbon fibres for anti-static properties. The best known of these fabrics are Kermel®, PBO Millenia Light™, Advance Light™ and PBI®. . FlamePro® garments can be produced from any of these fabrics often in a range of colours and with various weave types i.e. plain, rip stop or twill.
The thermal layers are composed of similar fibres to those used in the woven fabrics and are generally either needle felt, spun bonded non-wovens or knitted structures. The main purpose of the thermal layer is to provide a high proportion of open pockets between the fibres in order to trap as much air as possible since air is a very poor conductor of heat. Lining fabrics are usually fixed to the thermal barrier by adhesive or stitch bonding and they are usually woven or knitted from a blend of
FR and meta-aramid fibres.
Moisture barriers are essentially constructed using a waterproof, breathable membrane laminated to an inherently fire retardant spun bonded non-woven or knitted substrate. There is a variety of types of membrane ranging from PTFE through FR polyester to FRpolyurethanes and these barriers are all completely waterproof and provide good water vapour transmission rates for breathability.
FlamePro® garments use a range of structures designed to meet the specific requirements of the end user. All these structures exceed EN469 requirements and in some cases are tailored to meet the very highest thermal properties available.

Note - Sizing & Fit
A fire fighting suit is designed predominantly to protect the wearer from heat and flame but other factors must be taken into consideration when deciding what the correct fit is for the wearer. The high thermal values incorporated into the suits means that it is essential that the fit is not too tight; encouraging an air flow between the body and the suit will help to reduce the heat build-up from the body, particularly when hard physical work is being undertaken. Please take this into account when measuring up.

All FlamePro® garments are constructed using materials and components to meet end user requirements and that conform to the level of protection under which these products are tested. Purchasing officers, responsible for ‘duty of care’, will also have given careful thought to their own risk assessment process prior to purchase. After purchasing it is most important to continue that care process.
The protection offered by garments is strictly controlled by various standards and norms when the products are first manufactured. It is the duty of management to ensure that a robust inspection, care and maintenance programme is instituted to cover the lifetime of the garment. All garments carry sewn-in labels printed with wash/care instructions and it is important that these are strictly followed to ensure continuing compliance with the standards. In addition to following good practice within the PPE Regulation it is also very sensible from an economic perspective that good care is taken of garments. The lifespan of all garments can be extended considerably by good management and this will prove to be a very cost effective way of ensuring that value for money is achieved.
FlamePro (UK) Ltd would be happy to advise on any aspect of care.
