Flame-Retardant Welder's Protective Clothing
Flame-retardant welder's protective clothing is made of heat-resistant, flame-resistant materials such as textiles or leather (DIN EN ISO 11611). It protects against metal spatter, UV radiation, and brief flame exposure.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
Flame-retardant welder's protective clothing is made of materials that do not ignite quickly when exposed to heat. These materials contain chemical additives or have a special structure that slows down the combustion process.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
Proper protective clothing is crucial for protecting the worker from severe injuries caused by metal spatter or UV radiation. Incorrect clothing can lead to burns or serious wounds.
Workshop Practice & Action Guidelines
Use protective clothing that meets DIN EN ISO 11611. Ensure that all parts of the clothing (shirt, pants, gloves) are worn correctly and have no gaps or holes. Test the clothing regularly for flame resistance.
