Ready to level up the life span of your protective clothing?
Here are the three key secrets you don’t want to miss!
Flame-resistant (FR) garments are designed to resist ignition and slow down flame spread. They are widely used in industries where workers are exposed to high temperatures or fire hazards, such as oil & gas, electrical maintenance, and more.
As specialized functional clothing, proper care can significantly extend their service life. So, how do you get the best performance out of your WLTech protective garments?
Here are the three essential tips:
01 Wear It Right
Follow workplace requirements
Different work environments require different types of protective clothing.
Oil & gas: FR and anti-static garments
Electrical work: Arc flash protective garments
Smelting and casting: Molten metal splash protection or high-temperature insulation suits
Matching the garment to the actual hazard is the first step to real protection.
02 Wash It Right
Check the care label
Every protective garment comes with specific washing instructions—follow them closely.
Inspect stains
Treat any heavy contamination before washing.
Wash separately
FR clothing should be washed separately from regular garments to avoid damaging its protective properties.
Use mild detergents
Strong chemicals may weaken the FR performance.
Control the temperature
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying—high temperatures can degrade the flame-resistant capabilities.
03 Store It Right
Keep in a cool, dry place
Store FR garments away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to preserve their protective performance.
Hang or fold properly
Neatly store garments to prevent creasing.
For aluminized heat-protection suits, always hang them to prevent damage to the aluminized layer.
Avoid exposure to heat or chemicals
This helps maintain the integrity of the garment.
Inspect regularly
Check for signs of wear and tear and replace the garment when needed.
Before putting on your protective clothing, always assess the risk level of your work environment. Only with the right protection for the right hazard can your FR clothing deliver its best performance.
