Flame resistant - Fleece

Yes, an ordinary fleece is often actually flammable due to its synthetic fibers; choose a fleece that is itself tested to EN ISO 11612.

A fleece is lighter and softer than a sweater, with comparable protective properties.

Yes, both fleeces in this collection are antistatic as well as flame-resistant. This means you can wear them in environments where static discharge can be an ignition source, such as oil and gas installations. For full protection, do combine them with antistatic trousers or coveralls and antistatic safety shoes, so the charge can drain away.

Yes, with Modaflame fabric the flame-resistant effect is in the fabric itself and does not disappear through normal washing. Do always follow the care label, do not use bleach or fabric softener and check the fleece regularly for wear. Contamination with oil or grease can be flammable, so wash a dirty fleece in good time.

Yes, as long as the fleece covers the risks at your workplace. In rain or strong wind, a flame-resistant jacket over it is sensible, because fleece is not waterproof. If you also need to be visible, the hi-vis version is suitable as an outer layer, possibly supplemented with high-visibility trousers.
