Features include: § FR woven blend of 88% premium cotton and 12% high-tenacity nylon § Manikin tested to ASTM F1930 to meet the speci� cations outlined in NFPA 2112

§ Has an ATPV of 10 cal/cm2, which is the best in the industry for its category – leaves the competition far behind

§ Retains the strength of FR and arc � ash properties even after 100 washes as per NFPA 2112

§ Hi-viz trim is made from inherently branded aramid FR � bre § Coveralls are tested independently and certi� ed by UL toCGSB 155.20-2000 and NFPA 2112

§ Meets standards: CGSB 155.20-2000, NFPA 2112, ASTM 1506-10a,CSA Z462-15, NFPA 70E certi� ed by UL.

§ All componentry including zippers, re� ective tape, thread and fasteners tested to FR standards

§ Flame resistance guaranteed for the life of the garment § Orange coveralls V2540350/V254035T meet CSA Z96-15 Class 3 Level 2 and Level FR

§ Royal blue coveralls V2540310/V254031T meet CSA Z96-15 Class 1Level 2 and Level FR

Superior � ame resistance and arc � ash protection FLASH FIRE TESTING

N.C.S.U. PYROMANNEW FROM PIONEERFR-Tech™ premium materials have been developed and tested by Pioneer to provide superior � ame resistance, � ash � re and arc � ash protection, and are designed especially for the needs of Canadian workers.

Understanding FR Standards CGSB 155.20-2000

CGSB 155.20-2000 – Workwear for Protection Against Hydrocarbon Flash Fire. States the minimum requirements for performance of workwear worn for protection against unplanned exposure to hydrocarbon � ash � re. Testing includes � ame resistance (fabrics tested before and after wash/dry cycles), Thermal Protective Performance (TPP), heat resistance, and thermal shrinkage resistance. All components of the garments must meet required CGSB155.20-2000 standards, not only the outer shell material.

NFPA 2112 – 2012 Standard on Flame Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire. Speci� es the minimum design, performance, certi� cation and testing requirements for � ame-resistant fabric and garments for use in areas at risk from � ash � res. Testing includes � ame resistance (100 washes), heat transfer performance, heat resistance, thermal shrinkage, � ash � re resistance (tested on manikin according to protocols speci� ed in ASTM 1930), tensile strength, tearing strength, laundering shrinkage and colourfastness.

What are ARC and ATPV?An electric arc or arc discharge is an electrical breakdown of a gas that produces an ongoing plasma discharge, resulting from a current through normally nonconductive media such as air. An arc � ash is the light and heat produced from an electric arc supplied with su� cient electrical energy to cause substantial damage, harm, � re, or injury.ARC (Arc Rated Category) is a rating indicating the electric arc resistance of a garment. The material is tested to determine the ATPV (Arc Thermal Protective Value), which is the incident energy on a material or several layers of material resulting in a 50% chance of su� cient heat passing through said material(s) to cause a second-degree burn. The chart above shows the ATPV level required for each ARC class level.

ARC ATPV

Arc 1 Min. 4 cal/cm2

Arc 2 Min. 8 cal/cm2

Arc 3 Min. 25 cal/cm2

Arc 4 Min. 40 cal/cm2

What is a � ash � re? CGSB 155.20-2000 de� nes � ash � re as “A rapidly moving � ame front which can be a combustion explosion. Flash � re may occur in an environment where fuel and air become mixed in adequate concentrations to combust and where all sources of ignition have not been controlled. Hydrocarbon � ash � re has a heat � ux of approximately 84 kW/m2 for relatively short periods of time, typically three seconds or less.”NFPA 2112 – 2012 de� nes � ash � re as “A � re that spreads by means of a � ame front rapidly through a di� used fuel, such as dust, gas, or the vapors of an ignitable liquid, without the production of damaging pressure.” Such conditions are a major threat in the petrochemical, chemical and oil and gas industries. Workers performing tasks wearing non-FR clothing in these industries or related service industries can add to worker injuries by providing further fuel that could ignite in the � ash � re and cause extensive wearer injuries. FR-TechTM fabrics provide superior protection from � ash � re.Pioneer FR-TechTM 88/12 has been independently lab tested by UL and certi� ed to both Canada and USA.

Pioneer FR-Tech™ is lab tested in North America through UL to the NFPA 2112 standard, which sets clear guidelines for � ash � re safety testing on instrumented manikins. The NFPA 2112 standard calls for a 3-second � ash � re test as per ASTM F1930 on coveralls and requires a body burn of 50% or less in order to pass. Pioneer FR-Tech™ passes the 3-second test with a 15.3% body burn rate, an exceptional result. This � gure includes a 7% burn rate on the head area which is not covered by our coverall. The burn rate is measured by sensors all over the body as well as the head. Hands and feet do not carry any sensors.
