Xinke Protective® is engineered to provide unbeatable electric arc and flash fire protection that
lasts twice as long as FR treated cotton fabrics. Yet our soft and lightweight fabric provides unmatched
comfort. It is also comforting to know that our fabric's inherent protection will never wash or wear out.
XINKE® provides rugged flame-resistant protection at the lowest cost per wear of any welding garment fabric. Surpasses FRT cotton in tensile strength, tear strength,
abrasion resistance and wicking ability. Higher resistance to molten slag and pin holes. Never needs ironing.
· Superior strength and protection - Extremely durable and stable para-aramid fibers made even better with TenCate engineering expertise.
· Exceptional softness and comfort - FR rayon provides excellent wicking and breathability for cooler, dryer hours on the job.
· Outstanding flame resistance - Protection never washes out. Meets or exceeds industry standards.
· Extraordinary value - Great for trousers, capes, jackets, aprons, and coveralls worn by gas and electric utility, petroleum
refinery, chemical and automotive workers.
Electric Arc
One of the bigger risks electrical workers encounter when working with live circuits is electric arc. An
electric arc is created through an accidental short circuit. The duration of the arc is short, but the effects
can be devastating. The electric arc acts like a powerful explosion, sending out a shockwave, molten metal
and highintensity radiant heat. This combination of elements can cause a worker's clothing to ignite or
melt instantly or cause the clothing to break open, resulting in severe skin burns.
Wearing the right flame resistant protective clothing will protect the worker from the thermal hazards
associated with electric arc incidents and minimize skin burns. Suitable fire-retardant materials provide crucial protection against electric arc in the following ways:
· By providing thermal insulation between the body and the heat source.
· Not igniting, melting or breaking open which seriously aggravates injuries.
NFPA and ASTM have established the following standard test methods and requirements for protection against
electric arc incidents:
· NFPA 70E requires that general electrical employees wear clothing that meets the requirements of ASTM F 1506.
· ASTM F 1959 and ASTM F 1891 provide test methods for how to calculate arc ratings. Indicating a fabric's resistance
to the incident energy caused by an electric arc incident.
Xinke Protective Fabrics provides a range of materials that meet and surpass the standard requirements for protection
from electric arc flashes.
