Protective Wear and Clothing

In hazardous work environments, protection against thermal risks is not optional—it’s essential. That’s where EN ISO 11612 comes in. As a globally recognized standard, EN ISO 11612 outlines the minimum performance requirements for garments designed to protect workers from brief contact with flames and at least one type of heat —be it convective, radiant, contact, or molten metal. At Harbor365 , we specialize in creating flame- and arc-resistant protective clothing engineered to comply with EN ISO 11612. Our garments undergo rigorous testing to ensure they provide a reliable barrier against industrial heat hazards without compromising comfort or mobility. EN ISO 11612 classifies garments with specific codes—such as A1 (flame spread), B1-B3 (convective heat), C1-C4 (radiant heat), D/E (molten metal) —making it easier for safety officers and procurement teams to select gear tailored to specific workplace risks. Unlike generic solutions, Harbor365 designs are region-specific , consi...

 In the world of industrial safety apparel, fabric selection is more than just a choice—it's a strategic decision. At Harbor365 , we prioritize materials that meet the demanding needs of professionals working in high-risk industries like Oil & Gas, Electric Utilities, and New Energy. One such high-performance option is the cotton and polyester blend . This blend is a game-changer for flame-resistant (FR) and arc-rated clothing. Cotton , known for its softness and breathability, ensures comfort during long shifts. Polyester , on the other hand, provides strength, wrinkle resistance, and quick-drying capabilities. When expertly blended and treated with FR finishes, these fibers create a fabric that resists ignition, minimizes burn injury, and withstands wear and tear. Workers benefit from increased flexibility, long-lasting performance , and reduced garment shrinkage—key factors in environments where both safety and functionality matter. Unlike pure cotton fabrics that may degr...

 Harbor365 is committed to delivering advanced flame and arc-resistant protective solutions, guided by global safety standards like EN ISO 11612 . This international standard is critical for protective clothing worn by workers exposed to heat and flames in high-risk industries such as Oil & Gas, Electric Utilities, and Renewable Energy. EN ISO 11612 specifies the performance requirements for garments made to protect against heat and flame , excluding firefighting scenarios. Clothing certified under this standard must resist ignition and provide protection from various types of heat exposure, including convective heat, radiant heat, contact heat, and molten metal splashes . The garments are tested under stringent conditions and categorized with letter codes (A1, A2, B1-B3, C1-C4, D1-D3, E1-E3, F1-F3) that represent the level of protection offered. For example, "A1" means the fabric resists flame spread on the surface, while "B1-B3" relates to the degree of pro...

 At Harbor365, safety meets innovation. One of the key materials transforming flame-resistant (FR) clothing is modacrylic —a synthetic fiber renowned for its exceptional flame-retardant properties. Modacrylic blends have become essential in protective gear designed for high-risk environments like Oil & Gas, Electric Utilities, and New Energy sectors. Modacrylic fibers are inherently flame-resistant, meaning their protective properties are built into the fiber structure—not chemically treated after production. This ensures consistent, durable protection throughout the life of the garment. When exposed to flame, modacrylic chars and self-extinguishes without melting or dripping, reducing the risk of severe burns. Beyond safety, modacrylic fabrics offer excellent comfort and versatility. They are soft, lightweight, and easily blended with other fibers like cotton or aramid to enhance performance. The result? Garments that balance protection with breathability and ease of movemen...

When it comes to protective clothing in high-risk industries such as Oil & Gas, Electric Utilities, and New Energy, the right fabric blend is critical. At Harbor365 , we combine innovation with practical experience to deliver advanced flame-resistant (FR) solutions —and one of the most versatile materials in our arsenal is the cotton and polyester blend . This blend offers the best of both worlds: the natural softness and breathability of cotton with the durability and moisture-wicking properties of polyester . In harsh work environments where workers face both thermal hazards and physically demanding conditions , this fabric combination provides superior comfort, wear resistance, and flame protection . Cotton alone is breathable but lacks longevity in industrial settings. Polyester, while stronger, can melt under intense heat. When blended and treated with FR technologies, the fabric becomes an ideal candidate for multi-hazard protection —balancing fire resistance, strength, an...

 In high-risk industries like Oil & Gas, Utilities, and Renewable Energy, reliable protection is non-negotiable. At Harbor365, we prioritize safety without sacrificing comfort—and modacrylic fiber plays a critical role in achieving that balance. Modacrylic is a synthetic, flame-resistant fiber that stands out for being inherently self-extinguishing . Unlike chemically treated fabrics, modacrylic retains its protective qualities throughout its lifespan, even after repeated washing or exposure to harsh conditions. This built-in safety feature makes it ideal for protective clothing in environments where fire and arc flash are real threats. Another standout quality of modacrylic is its adaptability. It blends seamlessly with other fibers such as cotton, rayon, and aramid, creating fabrics that are not only flame-resistant but also lightweight , breathable, and durable . This versatility allows Harbor365 to engineer clothing that meets regional standards and provides comfort d...
