Flash Fire & Other Thermal Hazards

Flash fire moves fast. With a sudden ignition and a wave of heat and flame, workwear quickly becomes the only thing that can prevent a life-altering burn injury.

Unlike other fabrics that rely on surface-level FR chemical treatments, GlenGuard's FR protection is permanent and built into the fiber itself, meaning it won't wash out or wear down. When flames hit, the fabric self-extinguishes and won’t ignite, melt, or burn the skin. That's a standard workers can count on for the life of the garment.

How We Meet Standards

FLASH FIRE

NFPA 2112

Protects workers from flash fire exposure and related injury.

THERMAL EXPOSURE

Safeguards firefighters against a wide range of adverse environmental effects encountered when performing wildland firefighting operations.

THERMAL EXPOSURE

NFPA 1970

Ensures that the non-primary clothing for emergency services personnel (i.e. station wear and work uniforms) is flame-resistant and will not exacerbate a burn injury.

THERMAL EXPOSURE

CGSB 155.20

The Canadian standard used to establish minimum performance requirements for fireline workwear used by wildland firefighters.

THERMAL HAZARD

ISO 11612
