Our Essential line of arc flash clothing is made with varying layers of UltraSoft®, a fire- (FR) and arc-resistant (AR) blend of 88% cotton and 12% nylon. The addition of nylon enhances its level of protection (ATPV rating), durability, and has a softer, smoother feel against skin. The design of the clothing has a loose fit, which allows for additional protection from air pockets, and has room for FR baselayer or daily wear clothing to be worn underneath. Sewn with Nomex® thread, and components are all FR and AR. Meets NFPA 70E and ASTM F1506 standards. Available in 8, 12, 20 cal (PPE 2), 32 cal (PPE 3), and 43 cal (PPE 4) ratings. 20 cal Arc Flash Kit, PPE 2, Inclusions • 20 Cal Hood (SWH-20H) • Cap Bracket (HB-AD-SLT) • Knit Nomex Hood (KN-51) • Rubber Gloves (LRIG-0-11) • Leather Protector Gloves (PG-0-ADJS) • 12” Glove Bag (GB-12) • Gear Bag (909-ARC) • Safety Glasses (SW-SG) • Ear Plugs (SW-EAR) Care and Maintenance GARMENT CARE Inspect garments before each use Discontinue use if greatly contaminated or damaged Store garments properly Protect from grease, oil, flammable liquids, combustible materials REPAIRS Check garments for holes, tears, or rips in the garment Same arc-rated materials used to manufacture the clothing used for repairs Reach out to directly to Chicago Protective Apparel about or for repairs LAUNDERING Clean garment thoroughly Dry clean or machine wash at 140°F / up to 165°F cotton blends Tumble dry medium No chlorine bleach or hydrogen peroxide either separately or in the detergents No softeners or starch Failure to launder properly could affect the flame resistance of the garments RUBBER INSULATED GLOVE CARE Voltage rated gloves must be tested using ASTM F496 standard for insulating gloves and sleeves Always keep in a storage container Keep assembled with leather protectors when not in use with the fingers pointing toward the opening of the container Container should be kept in a clean and dry location when not in use LEATHER PROTECTOR GLOVE CARE Inspect before each use for damage, excess dirt, petroleum-based lubricants Replace damaged or contaminated gloves immediately Examples of such damage include cuts, abrasions, tears, pitting, age cracks, chemical bloom, depressions, embedded foreign matter, mold marks, punctures, repair marks, soft spots, color splash, runs or ozone cracks FACE SHIELD CARE & MAINTENANCE Inspect for cracks, excessive wear, damage Keep clean for best vision Clean with water and mild soap and dry with soft cloth until no contaminating residue left on the shield Store face shield in a shield stuff bag to protect it from dust and scratches.
