Fire Resistant Work Wear

SpotNet Distribution specialises in national and international supply of Australian designed secondary protective FR industrial work wear to corporate end users in:

  • primary aluminium and other metal smelting,
  • structural and wild-land fire fighting services,
  • emergency services,
  • airport refueling,
  • petrochemical, oil and gas extractive industries,
  • electric utilities.

We are pro-actively supported by our select group of fabric manufacturers which in turn allows us to confidently seek out and establish customer relationships within a network of product focused participants.

Our FR safety work wear range is designed and manufactured to cope with the extreme conditions experienced in the select industries, where intense heat, molten metal splash and risk of ignition occur. Our products comply with international standards for heat and fire resistant clothing, having been extensively tested under laboratory and in workplace conditions.

Product Overview

The table below includes a selection of industrial applications where our EDGE range may be used. The selection is by no means exhaustive however it provides website visitors with an initial overview of the specialised end user applications before proceeding to and viewing more specific information. Our Products Section shows more detailed applications while topics such as fabric description, test criteria and results and recommended care are discussed in our Technical Section.

Product and Fabric Properties and Applications

Product/FabricProperties Applications

kermel
a high technological polyamide-imide fibre which has very high resistance to abrasion and exceptional thermal insulation against radiant heat, is thermo stable, inherently FR, anti static and offers excellent wearer comfort - exceptional FR protection as 100% or blended with FR Viscose or FR wool Fire Fighting, Police/Military, Fire Stations/SES, Petrochemical, Electric Utilities, Heavy Industry

PR97
a blend of wool, FR Viscose and cotton in a number of weights from 220gsm to 500gsm - inherently FR, will not melt or stick to the skin, resistant to most molten metals and cryolite, completely breathable and offers excellent wearer comfort Molten Metal, Fire Stations/SES, Electric Utilities, Heavy Industry

emphatex
the secret behind Emphatex® technology is a proprietary formula of super hydrophilic polymer modifiers that creates a stronger than normal osmotic pressure gradient. This actually attracts water vapour molecules to the coating, wicks them across the membrane by molecular action and passes them through to the exterior, visually akin to how water moves up a towel when dipped in water FR/anti static and Hi-Vis for:

Electric/Gas, Petrochemical, Military, Airports, Police/SES, Engineering

creswick
840gsm 100% wool fabric with a PFZ (potassium-fluro-zicronate) flame retardant treatment Molten Metal, Electric Utilities, Petrochemical, Welding and Heavy Industry

sock image
three layer construction - tightly knitted layers assist in diffusing flame immediately, allowing the garment to resist intense heat and molten metal to temperatures of 1400°C - in such extreme conditions the garment will not melt and affix itself to the wearer's body Molten Metal, Electric Utilities, Structural/ Wildland Fire Fighting, Petrochemical, Heavy Industry
