Frequently Asked Questions

What is flame resistant (FR) rainwear?

Flame-resistant (FR) rainwear is specialized protective clothing designed to shield the wearer from both wet conditions and fire hazards. It is made from materials that self-extinguish and do not melt or drip when exposed to heat or flames, helping reduce burn injuries in hazardous environments.

Why is FR rainwear important?

FR rainwear is essential for workers exposed to both fire risks and wet conditions, such as those in oil and gas, electrical utilities, and emergency services. It provides protection against hazards like flash fires, electric arcs, and combustible dust while keeping workers dry and visible.

How do I choose the right FR rainwear?

Selecting the right FR rainwear depends on your work environment and exposure risks. Consider flame, arc flash, and chemical hazards, required safety standards such as NFPA 2112 or NFPA 70E, and ensure the garment offers proper weather protection, comfort, and mobility.

How do I care for my FR rainwear?

Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. Typically, FR rainwear should be washed separately using mild detergent, without bleach or fabric softeners, and dried on low heat. Proper care helps preserve flame-resistant properties and extends garment life.

How often should FR rainwear be replaced?

FR rainwear should be inspected regularly for damage such as tears, holes, or discoloration. If compromised or exposed to a fire incident, it should be replaced immediately. Under normal conditions, replacement is recommended every three years or sooner if wear is evident.
