    Garments that are used in special purposes, to protect

    human body from risky environment.


    Special garments are specially designed to protect human
    body from the hazards, i.e., chemicals, flame, water, gas,
    temperature, air pressure etc.

    Types of special garments


    Heat and flame resistant clothing
    Protective clothing from radiant heat
    Fire fighters clothing
    Armed forces clothing
    Protective clothing for space shuttle
    Clothing for coal miners
    Chemical resistant clothing

    Types of special garments


    Dust clothing
    Electrical protective clothing
    Insulation for Engines
    Truck Covers
    Clean room garments
    Diapers
    Gloves
    High Visibility clothing
    Surgical Gowns

    Special Textiles
    Air Bags
    Artificial tuft
    Climbing ropes
    Car tire cord
    Cigarette filter
    Conveyer belting
    Sleeping bags
    Sports nets
    Quilts
    Parachutes, etc.

    Heat and flame resistant clothing


    Workers of steel mill, moulding factory, welding

    factory, glass item manufacturing factory requires heat


    and flame resistant clothing
    These factories produces enough heat and flame
    Human body feels burning effects at 45C and burning
    occurs at 72C

    Heat and flame resistant shirt

    Heat and flame resistant clothing

    Heat and flame resistant headgear

    Gloves

    Heat and flame resistant clothing


    This work wear gives some time to save life/injury.
    If working condition requires high temperature for

    longer time, clothing should be very compactly woven


    and thickness should be higher
    higher the still air, higher the heat resistant
    If fabric density is very low when it cannot retain air,
    shows lower heat resistant.

    Heat and flame resistant clothing


    Working at higher temperature for short time requires

    thicker fabric with more weights as it shows better


    heat resistant property.
    For example, gloves made of jersey wool having pile
    fibers shows good thermal resistance at 270C.

    If molten iron, aluminium and magnesium


    Heat
    anddrops
    flame
    resistant
    clothing
    splinters
    on clothing,
    work
    wear should be

    made of very heavy and thick woolen fabrics.


    This type of fabric that is 540 GSM can protect
    human body of 350 ml molten metal.
    270 -350 GSM fabric can protect splinters of metals
    Knitted fabric structure shows better performance
    than woven.

    Heat and flame resistant clothing


    Zirpro woolen fabric and caliban finished fabric can

    protect human body from molten splinters of


    aluminium.
    As per protection length of time, following fabrics are
    listed as per merit
    1. Zirpro wool, 2. 85/15 zirpro/glass
    3. Aramid fiber 3. FR Cotton

    Heat and flame resistant clothing


    Two ply zirpro wool shows better performance, ideally

    290 GSM twill as outer and 230 GSM rib as inner.


    Two ply shows better result of same thickness of one
    ply.
    To increase flame retardency on woolen fiber, mix
    compound of titanium and zirconium is used for
    finishing wool fabric, is called zirpro finish.
