Everything to Know About Our FR-Treated Welding Shirts

Do you or somebody you know work in hazardous conditions such as high-voltage areas or fire hazards? A diverse array of hazards makes having the right protective gear even more crucial. Many people in this position opt to wear fire-resistant (FR) clothing to protect themselves. The designation of “FR” refers to the ability of a material to self-extinguish upon the removal of an ignition source. However, one should always remember that flame-resistant clothing is NOT fireproof. It simply protects wearers from potential intermittent flames and thermal exposure.

Working around dangerous conditions and performing work as a welder are just some examples that require FR clothing. Comeaux Caps offers FR-Treated Welding Shirts that are high-quality, comfortable, safe, and sold at a great price. Learn more about our FR clothing today.
