Description
Product Overview
The KOMY FR Shirt HRC2 – 12 CAL / CAT-2 is manufactured with durable flame-retardant treated fabric designed to provide reliable protection against thermal hazards while maintaining breathability and flexibility.
The fabric used in the shirt typically consists of 88% cotton and 12% nylon with a weight of approximately 320 GSM, which ensures strong durability while remaining comfortable for long working hours.
The cotton component offers natural softness and breathability, while the nylon fibers improve tear resistance and mechanical strength. This combination creates a garment that can withstand harsh industrial environments while still allowing comfortable movement.
Additionally, the fabric is treated with PROBAN® flame-retardant technology, which permanently bonds flame-resistant properties to the fibers. This treatment ensures that the protective qualities remain effective even after repeated washing and long-term use.
Arc Flash and Flame Protection
One of the most critical features of this protective shirt is its arc flash protection capability. Arc flash incidents occur when electrical faults cause a sudden release of energy through the air, generating extremely high temperatures that can reach thousands of degrees Celsius.
The CAT-2 / HRC2 rating indicates that this garment provides protection against arc flash hazards up to 12 calories per square centimeter (cal/cm²).
This protection level is suitable for many industrial tasks, including:
-
Electrical panel maintenance
-
Power distribution operations
-
Electrical troubleshooting
-
Oil and gas facility maintenance
-
Industrial machine servicing
The flame-resistant fabric does not melt or ignite easily and is designed to self-extinguish when the heat source is removed, helping to reduce the severity of burn injuries.
Fabric Construction and Material
The performance of flame-resistant clothing depends largely on the quality and structure of the fabric used. The KOMY FR shirt uses a strong 3/1 twill weave fabric that improves durability and abrasion resistance.
