STRUCTURAL FIRE SUITS

Structural Fire Suits can endure high levels of heat for brief periods of time without combusting and burning and therefore minimises body burn percentage when exposed to heat and flames.

The Structural Fire Suit has three components: an outer shell, a moisture barrier, and a thermal barrier, all serving a different function. The outer layer protects against flame injury and burns caused by conductive heat. The moisture barrier protects against water penetration and allows internal moisture vapour to escape.

It is imperative that the layers are kept dry to avoid the transfer of heat in a convective manner from the outer layer through the layers to the skin. The inner thermal barrier and lining offers protection against heat from proximity to flame. In between each of these layers are pockets of air and together with the fabric layers, they help to further insulate the wearer from the extreme environments of fires.

FABRIC INFORMATION
Outer shell is made of 60% DuPont™ Nomex® fibre and 40% Lenzing® FR Viscose, 260g. The breathable and waterproof moisture barrier is a 50% FR knitted polyester, 50% PU membrane, 85g. The FR thermal liner is an FR non woven aramid felt quilted to a 50% aramid, 50% viscose, 260g.

GARMENT BENEFITS

The outer shell built with DuPont™ Nomex® fibre and with Lenzing® FR Viscose is an inherently flame-resistant fabric that stands up to heat, high abrasion resistance, strong colour fastness and protects the inner components.

The breathable PU membrane protects against external water penetration and allows body heat to escape.

The non woven thermal layer traps pockets of air to provide enhanced thermal protection and the inner woven layer protects against heat from proximity to flame.

 EN 469: 2005 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR FIREFIGHTERS

This European Standard specifies minimum levels of performance requirements for protective clothing to be worn during fire fighting operations and associated activities. Suits shall provide protection for the firefighters torso, neck, arms to the wrists, and leg to ankles during firefighting activities. A generous overlap suitable for all body movements shall be maintained between the jacket and trousers.

• Flame Spread
• Heat Transfer (Flame)
• Heat Transfer (Radiation)
• Residual Strength
• Heat Resistance
• Tensile Strength
• Tear Strength
• Surface Wetting
• Dimensional Change
• Resistance to penetration by Liquid Chemicals
• Resistance to Water Penetration
• Water Vapour Resistance
• Ergonomic Requirements
• Visibility – Reflex
• Whole Garment Testing (Optional)

EXPLAINING THE STANDARD
EN469 Level 2 Fire Suits is the higher requirement for structural fire fighting and is used by professional trained firefighters.
Level 2 Suits must include a waterproof moisture barrier
