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.
The test method for flash fire, ASTM F1930, requires a 3-second exposure to flame and uses sensors on a mannequin to determine body burn percentage. See the difference that comprehensive FR protection can make in the face of flash fire and other fire-related hazards.
Arc flash happens in an instant, subjecting workers to blinding light, molten metal, and temperatures four times hotter than the surface of the sun. That level of risk requires self-extinguishing PPE that won’t ignite, melt, or burn the skin.
GlenGuard has been rigorously tested to test method ASTM F1959, which determines the amount of thermal energy that a fabric can absorb after being exposed to an electric arc before a wearer experiences second degree burns.
Inadvertent contact with corrosive, toxic, or flammable liquids can happen in seconds and leave workers exposed to burns and contamination. GlenGuard fabrics are enhanced by our proprietary EcoRepelzz™ technology, a PFAs-free finish that repels a variety of chemicals when they are unintentionally splashed on the garment surface.
When abrasive conditions are part of the job, workers need to know that their PPE can handle it. See how GlenGuard fabrics stack up against competitor products in our bench grinder abrasion test.
When workers move and bend, garments are more likely to tear—and garments that tear are not compliant.
See the strength of GlenGuard’s Rip Stop fabric versus competitor hybrid lyocell blends in this standard tear strength test (ASTM D2261).
Workers deserve protection that can withstand the toughest conditions, including the repeated rigors of industrial laundering. See how GlenGuard's colors, durability, and flame-resistant properties stay consistent, wash cycle after wash cycle.
Choose a fabric that will outlast the rest. When tested using AATCC 16.3 standards and spectrophotometer readings, GlenGuard Hi-Vis fabric starts out the brightest, and—after 40 hours of UV exposure—stays the brightest compared to our top competitors.
