Protective clothing protects wearer from arcs, flame

Magid® has introduced three new products that provide arc-rated and flame-resistant protection. The AR Defense™ relaxed-fit base layer shirts and balaclava address a need for arc-rated protection following revised National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for workplace safety.

The 4.5-oz. jersey knit shirt has an ATPV/arc rating of 4.9 cal./cm2. The 6.5-oz. interlock knit shirt and the 6.5-oz. interlock knit balaclava both have an ATPV/arc rating of 8.2 cal./cm2.

The products are made of blends of inherently flame-resistant fibers that keep workers protected and dry while helping them comply with NFPA 70E standards.
