Introduction to fire-proof clothing

Fire-proof clothing, also known as fire-fighting heat-insulating clothing or heat-insulating protective clothing, is protective clothing worn by firefighters when they enter the fire scene to fight vicious fires and rescue and rescue. It is also one of the special protective equipment for firefighters. The following is a detailed introduction to fire-proof clothing:

1. Main features

Flame resistance and strong heat insulation performance: Fire-proof clothing is made of high-performance high-quality fabrics, with significant flame resistance and heat insulation performance, can withstand flames up to 1000°C, and can effectively protect against the splash of high-temperature water vapor.

Light material and good softness: Fire-proof clothing not only has high-intensity protection capabilities, but also has light material and good softness, which is convenient for firefighters to operate flexibly in the fire scene.

2. Composition structure

Fire-proof clothing consists of multiple protective parts, including hoods, tops, pants, boots, gloves, etc., as follows:

Hood: detachable design, with a gold-plated glass window on the head, a built-in safety helmet, and a respirator backpack, which can be used with a self-contained positive pressure respirator.

Tops and pants: full-body protection design, covered with aluminum protective layer to enhance heat insulation. The front zipper of the clothing has protective cuffs and snaps to ensure sealing.

Boots and gloves: provide comprehensive foot and hand protection to ensure the safety of firefighters in the fire scene.

3. Applicable environment

Fire-avoiding clothing is not only suitable for firefighters to fight fires and rescue in the flame area of ​​the fire scene, but can also be widely used in high-temperature repair operations in industries such as glass, cement, and ceramics, as well as other places that require high-temperature operations, such as metallurgy, chemical industry, and special manufacturing industries.

4. Precautions for use

Wearing and removing: Pay attention to the order and method when wearing and removing fire-avoiding clothing to ensure that the protective clothing can fit the body completely and provide effective protection. Someone needs to assist when wearing, and the removal should be done in reverse order.

Inspection and maintenance: Before use, it is necessary to check whether the fire-avoiding clothing is intact and undamaged; after use, it should be cleaned and properly stored in time to avoid moisture and mildew.

With respirator: Fire-avoiding suits must be equipped with air respirators and communication equipment to ensure normal breathing of personnel in high temperature conditions and communication with command personnel.

Usage restrictions: Fire-avoiding suits are protective clothing for short-term crossing of fire zones or entering flame zones for specific tasks, and are not suitable for long-term operation in flames. In the case of longer periods of time, water guns and water cannons must be used for protection.

5. Technical parameters

The technical parameters of fire-avoiding suits include the flame resistant properties, strength properties, radiation heat penetration resistance of combined materials, flame combustion resistance, etc. The specific data need to be tested and verified in accordance with relevant national or industry standards.

In summary, fire-avoiding suits are important protective equipment that firefighters cannot do without in fire scenes. Their excellent flame resistance, heat insulation properties, and light and soft material properties provide firefighters with solid safety protection.
