It is always best to allow a professional industrial laundry service provider to care for these garments. Chlorine bleach and hydrogen peroxides found in some detergents can degrade the FR properties.
Additionally, our industrial laundering methods ensure that we remove ALL potentially flammable materials and soils that may build-up on the surface of these safety garments.
Yes, take repairs for example. And employers should also consider size changes for employees that may require alterations or replacements. One example of this is for the molten aluminum metal industry. These fabrics are made specifically to protect against molten aluminum. These workers are taking the risk of having their arms severely burned in the event of an accident. With rent or lease, there's virtually no upfront investment. UniFirst will repair or replace damaged garments, reducing costs.
We use only the detergents and washing procedures that are recommended for FR garments. UniFirst manages the procurement and receiving process of these expensive garments. See our rental catalog for FR shirts, pants, coveralls and jackets. There are many advantages of having us do what we do best.

This number, expressed in calories, then becomes the arc rating for that fabric and any garment made from it. More simply put, arc rating measures insulation of FR fabrics to arc flash. The arc rating can be reported as ATPV Arc Thermal Performance Value or Ebt Energy Breakopen threshold — more on the difference between these in a future post- and is a single number, the higher the better.
AR garments almost always have their arc rating displayed on an internal label, and occasionally on an external label as well. Since all AR garments are also FR, they will provide some measure of protection in a flash fire; indeed, the significant majority of well known AR fabrics are also offered for flash fire markets. They do not address all factors related to durability of the FR properties. Without performing destructive testing, such as vertical flammability testing, you would not know.
