What kinds of fire insulation clothing we have? How to maintain it?

Fire-fighting insulation clothing is a type of fire-fighting equipment. It is mainly used for work in high-temperature environments. It protects the user's body from high temperature (extreme heat, flame, steam) by delaying heat conduction, so it is widely used in fire-fighting and high temperature working environment.

So, as such an important fire-fighting equipment, how should we maintain it in our daily use?

If you want to properly maintain the fire-fighting insulation clothing, we need to understand the classification of the insulation clothing at first.

Generally speaking, insulation clothing is divided into two types: heavy-duty class A insulation clothing and light-duty class B insulation clothing. The former is mainly designed for use in harsh environments and the greatest degree of danger, meet the NFPA1991 standard. The latter is similar to the former, but the level of protection against the skin is weaker.

So here are some tips to maintain it in our daily use:

1. Fire-fighting thermal insulation clothing has the performance of flame resistant and thermal insulation, but it cannot prevent all unfavorable situations. When approaching high-temperature fire sources, try to avoid direct contact with flames or molten metal. If it is in the presence of chemical gases or radioactive damage, corresponding accessories and positive pressure respirators are required.

2. The storage place of the thermal insulation clothing should be dry and ventilated, and should be far away from high temperature sources, open flames and acid chemical solvents. At the same time, prevent the composite layer from falling off after being damp.

3. Before using the thermal insulation clothing, check whether the thermal insulation clothing is damaged or not.

4. For the insulated clothing after use, use a soft brush dipped in neutral detergent to wash the remaining dirt on the surface, then rinse with clean water, then place the rinsed insulated clothing in a ventilated place to dry, and finally put it Go back to the corresponding storage place. Remember, do not soak the insulated clothing with water, and don't beat the insulated clothing.

5. When storing the thermal insulation clothing, you should choose to hang it as much as possible, and try not to face the thermal insulation clothing, so as not to fold and damage the clothing repeatedly and affect its protective performance.

6. Insulation clothing should be inspected and maintained regularly, once a week, to check whether the aluminum foil is damaged, and to clean up oil stains.

7. The warranty period of fire-fighting insulation clothing is one year if it meets the storage conditions.

To do a good job in the maintenance of insulation clothing, it is necessary to formulate strict and standardized rules and regulations, and operate in accordance with the system. Hope that the above sharing will be helpful to everyone.
