Arc-flash and arc-blast can lead to severe burn injuries.

In an arc-flash environment, air temperatures can reach 20,000°C, and toxic vapors can be released, causing skin burns and respiratory damage. Arc-blast, on the other hand, can cause high pressure and extreme sound concussion (up to 165 decibels), propelling materials and molten metals away from the arcing fault location at speeds of over 1,000 km/hr.

When risks and potential damage are severe, it is important to select trusted, established brands. PROBAN® is the proven choice for arc-rated clothing, providing specialized protection for such incidents. From switchgear to electric arc protection, our core channel partners provide reliable solutions that protect people working with electricity throughout the working day.

The most critical part in selecting the right protective clothing starts with an effective job hazard analysis. From the huge range of PROBAN® fabrics, suitable fabric weights and constructions can be selected to produce arc-rated, flame-resistant protective clothing that can deliver 7 cal/cm² with lightweight everyday solutions, and up to 40 cal/cm² with garment layering across all risk scenarios when dealing with electricity in industrial manufacturing, power stations, substations, and transmission lines.

Our PROBAN® promise is to deliver unquestionable performance and protection.
