Product Overview
The KOMY Fire Retardant Pant HRC2 – 8 CAL / CAT-2 is manufactured using high-quality 100% cotton flame-retardant treated fabric, typically around 240 GSM (7.1 oz/yd²). The fabric is mercerized and pre-shrunk to improve durability and maintain consistent sizing after repeated washing.
The garment is treated with PROBAN® fire-retardant technology, which permanently bonds flame-resistant properties to the cotton fibers. This treatment ensures the fabric will resist ignition and self-extinguish when the source of heat or flame is removed.
The result is a protective garment that retains its FR performance throughout its lifetime while also remaining breathable and comfortable for extended wear.
These pants are typically used as part of a two-piece FR uniform, paired with a matching FR shirt or coverall to provide full body protection against thermal hazards.
Arc Flash and Flame Protection
One of the most critical hazards in industrial environments is arc flash, which occurs when electrical current travels through the air between conductors or grounded surfaces. This phenomenon can generate temperatures exceeding 20,000°C, producing intense heat, light, and pressure.
The CAT-2 rating with an 8 cal/cm² arc rating means that the KOMY FR pant can protect workers from moderate arc flash energy levels encountered during electrical maintenance, troubleshooting, or power system operations.
When exposed to flames or heat, the fabric is designed to:
-
Resist ignition
-
Prevent melting or dripping
-
Self-extinguish once the heat source is removed
-
Reduce heat transfer to the wearer’s skin
These protective characteristics significantly reduce the risk of severe burn injuries.
Fabric Construction and Material
The protective performance of flame-resistant clothing depends heavily on the fabric composition and treatment process. The KOMY FR pant is made from mercerized cotton fabric treated with PROBAN® flame-retardant finish, which improves both durability and protective performance.
