12 Cal Arc Flash Suit

Description

• Protection Rating (ATPV): $\ge 12 \text{ cal/cm}^2$ (Arc Thermal Performance Value), meaning it can withstand thermal exposure up to 12 calories per square centimeter before causing a second-degree burn.

• Safety Classification: Complies with NFPA 70E (PPE Category 2) and IEC 61482 / ASTM F1959 standards for electrical safety.

• Material Composition: Typically constructed using Inherent Flame Retardant (IFR) fabrics or high-grade treated cotton/modacrylic/aramid blends (e.g., modacrylic, aramid, and anti-static fiber mixes). The flame-resistant properties are permanent and will not wash out over time.

• Fabric Weight: Generally lightweight and flexible (around 240 to 280 g/m²), engineered to reduce heat stress while maintaining high durability and tear resistance during everyday wear.
