This video is a comparison of heat applied FR reflective trim vs. Non-FR reflective trim when exposed to an open flame.
This demonstration was conducted at National Safety Apparel's headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. This is not a certified FR test, but is similar in setup as ASTM D6413.
As is evident in the video, the Non-FR trim melts, continues
to burn, and will certainly contribute to the extent of an injury.
For this reason, National Safety Apparel exclusively uses FR trim on all Arc and Flash Fire protective garments.
