PROBAN® FR Clothing Aces the Tests 

Handling hazardous materials and/or working under hazardous conditions can create more than a million risk scenarios that can lead to thermal injury from exposure to an electric arc, flammable gas or liquid, hot metal, or a flash fire. Because we are all responsible for safety, we all must work to minimize work-related accidents. 

PROBAN® FR clothing provides protection for people working in diverse industries — from oil and gas to utilities, wildland firefighting, or in the manufacturing of chemicals, steel, and industrial processes.

Flash Fire Protection

Flash fire risk is ever-present where heat, fuel, and oxygen coexist, making it essential to select flame-resistant clothing that meets NFPA 2112 or ISO standards while also accounting for real-world factors such as garment aging, UV exposure, after-glow performance, and predicted body burn levels.

PROBAN® fabrics exceed these requirements, delivering no after-glow, minimal predicted burns, and consistent flame-resistant performance even after prolonged sunlight exposure.

Molten Metal Splash Protection

Molten metal splash poses severe risks in steel mill environments, where extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemical reactions can trigger explosions and project metal exceeding 1,500°C.

PROBAN® flame-resistant fabrics are engineered to provide reliable protection against these hazards while also addressing heat stress in high-temperature working conditions.

Electric Arc Flash Protection

Arc-flash and arc-blast events present extreme hazards, with temperatures reaching 20,000°C, intense pressure waves, and high-velocity projectiles, making proper protective clothing selection critical.

PROBAN® arc-rated fabrics provide reliable, scalable protection from 7 to 40 cal/cm², delivering proven performance across diverse electrical risk environments.
