Product Overview
KOMY FR SHIRT 8 CAL
The KOMY Fire Retardant Shirt HRC2 – 8 CAL / CAT-2 is manufactured using high-quality flame-retardant treated cotton fabric, typically around 220–240 GSM, which provides a balance of protection, breathability, and durability.
The fabric undergoes a specialized treatment process such as Proban® fire-retardant technology, which permanently bonds flame-resistant properties to the fibers. This treatment ensures the protective qualities remain effective throughout the lifetime of the garment, even after repeated washing and heavy industrial use.
The shirt is designed with a long-sleeve structure, front button closure, and multiple utility pockets to support practical use in industrial environments. It also incorporates reinforced stitching at stress points, which improves durability when workers perform physically demanding tasks.
Arc Flash and Flame Protection
One of the most important functions of the KOMY FR SHIRT 8 CAL is its ability to protect workers from arc flash incidents and flash fires.
Arc flash is a dangerous electrical event where energy is released through the air due to electrical faults. This event produces extreme heat, light, and pressure, which can cause serious injuries. The HRC2 / CAT-2 classification indicates that the shirt provides adequate protection for tasks where the arc flash energy exposure is up to 8 calories per square centimeter (cal/cm²).
This protection level is commonly required for workers in:
-
Electrical maintenance
-
Power distribution facilities
-
Oil and gas installations
-
Industrial machinery operations
-
Petrochemical plants
The FR fabric prevents ignition and self-extinguishes once the heat source is removed, reducing the risk of secondary burns.
KOMY FR SHIRT 8 CAL Fabric and Material Construction
The KOMY FR SHIRT 8 CAL is made from 100% cotton mercerized pre-shrunk fabric, which enhances strength, durability, and comfort. Mercerization improves the cotton fibers by increasing their resistance to wear while providing a smoother finish.
Typical fabric specifications include:
-
Material: 100% cotton FR treated fabric
-
Fabric Weight: Approximately 220–240 GSM
-
Treatment: Proban® fire-retardant finish
-
Weave Type: 2/1 twill or similar durable weave
The cotton base fabric provides natural breathability, allowing workers to remain comfortable even in hot climates such as those commonly experienced in industrial regions.
