When it comes to flame resistant (FR) workwear, protection is not only about the fabric. Every component of the garment can contribute to its overall performance.

1. FR Fabric

The fabric is the foundation of an FR garment. Its fiber composition, construction, and weight all affect the garment's protective performance, comfort, and durability.

2. FR Sewing

Thread Sewing thread is often overlooked, but it plays an important role in garment construction. FR sewing thread is designed to maintain appropriate performance when exposed to heat and flame.

3. Closures and Accessories

Zippers, buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, and other accessories should be selected according to the intended application and garment requirements.

4. Reflective Tape

For high-visibility FR workwear, reflective tape needs to be suitable for the intended protective application. It should provide visibility without compromising the garment's overall performance.

5. Garment Construction

Even with suitable materials, proper construction matters. Stitching, seams, pockets, closures, and garment design all need to be carefully considered when developing protective workwear.

Protection Starts with Every Detail

A protective garment is a complete system—not simply a piece of FR fabric.

At Eastman, we pay attention to the fabric, thread, accessories, construction, and finishing throughout the manufacturing process to provide reliable FR workwear solutions for industrial applications.

Every detail matters when protection is the priority.
