FR Products
FR clothing is an outer layer of clothing that protects against exposure to sparks, flames, and radiant heat—which can burn you if exposed to it for too long. Often, heavy PPE increases the risk of heat stress in such environment necessitating additional measures to regulate core temperature.
Techniche offers a range light weight head and neck gear like gaiters, balaclavas and hoods that are specially crafted for the warm humid weather in the middle east. We also carry evaporative / PCM vests and accessories that work hard to balance safety and thermal comfort. Options are available in Nomex, Modacrylic, FR cotton etc. complying to various international standards.
FR cooling products are available in Evaporative or PCM technologies. Evaporative Cooling Technology utilises the power of evaporating water to keep you several degrees cooler than ambient temperature (*Requires airflow & best suited for low humidity conditions). This is usually achieved through the use of polymer embedded cooling fabric (Hyperkewl™). These products are to be worn as the outer-most layer such that air can flow freely over them.
Phase Change Materials (PCM) are substances which absorb or release a large amount of "latent heat" when they go through a change in physical state ie., from solid to liquid or vice versa. During this change of phase, their temperature remains constant. This property of PCM is utilised in personal cooling products to offer constant temperature cooling. PCM technology works in high or low humidity situations and requires no air flow.
The product range includes PCM jacket cooling vests, hard hat accessories and cooling neck bands. We offer FR heat stress management vests and accessories from manufacturers like Occunomix International (Miracool®, Miracool Phase Change®), Techniche International (Hyperkewl™, CoolPax™), national Safety Apparel( DRIFIRE®, ENESPRO®) and Ergodyne (Chill-Its®).
FR Head & Neck wear
FR headgear is often heavy and hinders the evaporation of sweat leading to heat stress. We bring you head and neck wear that is made of lightweight fabrics like modacrylic that feature quick dry/ moisture management properties leading to better thermal comfort in warm weather. Some of the products from Buff (Spain) also feature HEIQ Smart Temp technology that provide cooling effect in FR headwear.
