Flame retardant protective clothing

At present the most commonly used in domestic oilfields are generally made of pure cotton overalls, antistatic fabric, the flame retardant treatment of cotton or polyester smock. Ordinary cotton overalls with daily clothing, can not play a role of explosion prevention and protection. Anti-static clothing can be triggered by electric spark explosion prevention effect, and the flame retardant processing pure cotton or polyester smock has certain protective effect to the deflagration, but these two kinds of antistatic and flame retardant performance clothing will over washing or wear abrasion is abate, once deflagration flame will aggravate degree of burns.

At present, the foreign petroleum and petrochemical enterprises, such as exxonmobil, BP, shell, etc., are using NomexR flame retardant in tooling as a daily work clothes. Developed by du pont NomexRIIIA fabrics containing NomexR, KevlarR fiber antistatic fiber and P - 140. NomexR unique molecular structure gives the NomexR IIIA fabric flame retardant, the nature of excellent thermal protective, P - 140 to make the fabric with antistatic performance, the nature of these performance would not be weakened due to wash or wear. Therefore, in the past 40 years of practice, dupont TM NomexR IIIA fabrics are widely used in petrochemical industry, proved very effective for protection.

Some petroleum and petrochemical enterprises in our country are also introduce the foreign advanced experience in safety management and products, including overseas advanced protective material. Cnooc has long been in the field of overseas use of NomexR fabric flame retardant protective clothing, and last year began to use in its domestic refineries. China's oil in overseas oil field using the NomexR fabric flame retardant protective clothing. Tarim oilfield for the first time in 2007 will have international protection standard of dupont TM NomexR fabrics made of flame retardant protective clothing as a uniform, replaced the previous cotton overalls.

Due to the protective performance of clothing in addition to fabric choice is affected by various factors, such as garment design, use of accessories, including stitches, zipper, reflective tape and so on. Design aspects should be covered the surface of the skin as often as possible, such as not using turndown collar design, etc., in order to enhance the security of garments' integral, the flame retardant and recommended suture, zippers, so as to avoid clothing when meeting deflagration combustion break the whole garment due to attachment, cause the wearer directly exposed to protection of the flame and don't.

In addition, flame resistant clothing also need to pay attention to some details, such as to choose suitable size and slightly loose protective clothing, size is too small will greatly affect the wearing comfort, and affect the operation of flexibility; Don't open collar while wearing protective clothing, for example, don't roll up your sleeves, protective clothing clean oil to deal with, and so on, to ensure that the protective clothing can play the role of the best.

In fact, understanding of flame retardant protective abroad also experienced a process of gradual changes. As is known to all, F1 (F1) race is a deflagration occurred more than petroleum and petrochemical industry. In the early create F1 grand prix drivers on choose match clothes mainly is more comfortable and beautiful. In 1976, three drivers' world championship winner nicky's reach in newberg lindsay way in the car after a fire accident, F1 CheTan began to attach importance to the safety of the clothes. In the past 30 years, F1 driver's uniform for flame retardant, anti high temperature also got continuous development of this purpose.

With the development of national economy, the sound and the health of the legal system and protection consciousness is growing, especially in petroleum and petrochemical enterprises of international cooperation and exchanges, to enhance safety consciousness, flame retardant protection in China's petroleum and petrochemical enterprises will be further promoted.
