The hoodie has an Energy Breakopen Threshold (EBT) of 13 cal/cm² and an Eliminates Immediately (ELIM) rating of 12 cal/cm².
Can I wear this hoodie as my primary protective gear?
This hoodie is designed to provide a certain level of protection. Whether it's sufficient as primary gear depends on a specific risk assessment of your work environment. Always consult your safety officer or relevant safety documentation.
How should I wash this flame-resistant hoodie?
Machine wash at a maximum of 60°C (140°F), do not bleach, tumble dry on medium, and iron on medium. Crucially, do not use fabric softener as it degrades flame-resistant properties.
What is the material composition of the hoodie?
It is made from a flame-resistant fleece blend consisting of 60% Modacrylic, 39% Cotton, and 1% Antistatic fiber, with a weight of 280g/m².

Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur with flame-resistant materials. Ensure you are not using fabric softener and try tumble drying on a medium heat setting as per care instructions. The fabric should soften with continued wear.
Embroidery appears to be peeling.
This is unusual for certified flame-resistant embroidery. Ensure washing instructions (especially regarding heat and agitation) are followed precisely. For persistent issues, contact customer support.
Reduced flame-resistant properties over time.
Ensure that incorrect washing methods, such as using fabric softener or high-temperature dry cleaning, are avoided. Regular maintenance according to care guidelines is crucial for preserving the garment's protective qualities.
