FYRTEX® series heat and flame protective clothings are for industrial workers who expose to heat. Area of use is briefly forest firefighting, working with oil and gas which has risk of explosion at industry, welding and it is protective against heat and flame, electrical arcs, molten metal splash and can also be used by law enforcement forces. It is generally produced as single or double layered.

Under normal circumstances, a healthy body temperature is controlled by skin and sweating mechanism. But, if the worker exposes to direct flame or high temperatures for a long time, natural body mechanism may not stabilize the heat. This may cause serious injuries. At industry and other working places, according to area of work, workers are subject to various types of thermal dangers such as direct exposure to the flame, radiant heat, convective heat, molten metal and welding splashes, thermal dangers of electrical arc etc.

Special heat and flame retardant clothings are designed to provide protection against these dangers mentioned above. Different European standards have been published to define the performances of these protective clothings by European Standardization Institutes. FYRTEX® series heat and flame protective clothings, developed by IST Safety Ltd., are produced to satisfy the needs and expectations in hazardous areas.

Protective clothings certified under EN ISO 11612 standard, are categorized according to below performance levels.

A: EN ISO 15025  - limited flame spread  (from 1 to 2)
B: ISO 9151 - Convective heat  (from 1 to 3)
C: EN ISO 6942 - Radiant heat  (from 1 to 4)
D: ISO 9185 - Molten Aluminium splash  (from 1 to 3)
E: ISO 9185 - Molten Iron splash  (from 1 to 3)

F: ISO 12127 - Contact heat  (from 1 to 3)

*D3 and E3 level are the highest protection levels for molten aluminium and iron splashes.
