But why wear flame-resistant underwear under flame-resistant garments?

In fact, even if the garment is flame-resistant, when in contact with a fuel source, the risk of burn, although existent, is minimal due to the fabric fireproof properties. With this type of underwear, the worker’s safety is increased with another fire barrier. Non-fireproof underwear continues to burn until the flammable materials are extinguished, even if the fuel source is no longer on the garment, causing burns where the fabric touches the body. Flame-resistant clothing prevents flame dispersion and extinguishes automatically, almost immediately when the fuel source is removed.

Propose Kosto flame-resistant underwear to your customers when they work in environments with risks of combustion. Offer them improved protection!
