Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between an FR sweatshirt and an FR shirt jacket?
A: FR sweatshirts are typically made of knit fleece and offer a softer, more casual fit suitable for layering or mild cold. FR shirt jackets are constructed like button-down shirts but with heavier, often lined fabrics, providing the structure of a jacket with the look of a shirt. Shirt jackets often offer higher durability for abrasive environments.
Q: Do all FR hoodies in this collection meet NFPA 2112?
A: Many items in this category are dual-certified for NFPA 70E and NFPA 2112, but not all. Some lighter weight or specific blend sweatshirts may only meet arc flash requirements (NFPA 70E). Always verify the specific safety labels on the product page to ensure it meets the flash fire standards required for your site.
Q: How do I choose the right arc rating for an FR sweatshirt?
A: The required arc rating (ATPV or EBT) depends on the hazard risk category of your specific task. For general CAT 2 compliance, look for a rating of 8 cal/cm² or higher. For higher risk environments, choose heavyweight options or layer garments to achieve higher total system protection. Consult your safety manager for specific requirements.
Q: Can I wash FR sweatshirts with regular laundry?
A: It is recommended to wash FR garments separately to prevent contamination from flammable fibers (like lint from non-FR cotton) and to avoid fabric softeners, which can mask the flame-resistant properties. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions to maintain the integrity of the FR treatment.
Q: Are these sweatshirts suitable for wet weather conditions?
A: While many FR sweatshirts feature moisture-wicking properties to manage sweat, they are not typically waterproof. For wet weather, a water-resistant FR outer shell or rain jacket should be worn over the sweatshirt to ensure you stay dry and the garment retains its thermal insulation value.
