Firefighters face extreme conditions daily, and their gear is their first line of defense against the dangers of heat, flames, and hazardous environments. Ensuring that this protective clothing meets the highest fire safety standards is critical for the safety and effectiveness of firefighters and emergency responders. Fire-resistant gear must provide reliable protection against flash fires, radiant heat, and other fire-related hazards while maintaining comfort and durability under demanding conditions.
Neroshield™ offers advanced fire-retardant solutions specifically designed for firefighter gear and other protective clothing. Our products undergo rigorous third-party testing, audits, and are manufactured in ISO 17025 accredited facilities to ensure compliance with stringent fire safety standards. Neroshield™ is committed to delivering superior protection that meets the needs of those who put themselves in harm’s way to protect others.
Neroshield™ products are extensively tested by independent third parties to ensure they meet or exceed the highest standards for fire-resistant garments. Our solutions are code compliant, environmentally friendly, and provide reliable fire protection for firefighter gear and other flame-resistant clothing.
Standard on Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire
NFPA 2112 sets the industry standard for flame-resistant garments designed to protect against flash fires. This standard ensures that firefighter gear meets the critical performance requirements for thermal protection, heat resistance, and overall durability. Neroshield™ treated materials comply with NFPA 2112, providing essential protection for firefighters and emergency personnel working in high-risk environments.
Standard Test Method for Flame Resistance of Textiles (Vertical Test)
ASTM D6413 is a widely recognized test that measures the flame resistance of textiles used in protective clothing. The vertical test evaluates how materials react to flame exposure, including ignition resistance, flame spread, and after-flame duration. Neroshield™ products have been tested and certified to meet ASTM D6413 standards, ensuring that treated firefighter gear effectively resists flames and reduces the risk of burn injuries.
Standard Test Method for Unsteady-State Heat Transfer Evaluation of Flame-Resistant Materials for Clothing with Continuous Heating
ASTM F2700 evaluates the heat transfer properties of flame-resistant materials under continuous heating conditions, which is critical for assessing how well protective clothing shields the wearer from sustained heat exposure. Neroshield™ treated fabrics have demonstrated superior performance in this test, offering reliable heat resistance that helps protect firefighters from prolonged heat exposure during operations.
Standard Test Methods for Mass Per Unit Area (Weight) of Fabric
ASTM D3776 measures the weight of fabric per unit area, which is important for understanding the material's density and how it affects the overall performance of protective gear. Neroshield™ treated materials maintain an optimal balance of weight and protection, ensuring that firefighter gear is both lightweight and highly protective.
Standard Test Method for Thickness of Textile Materials
ASTM D1777 evaluates the thickness of textile materials, a key factor in the insulation and protective qualities of firefighter gear. Neroshield™ ensures that treated fabrics maintain the necessary thickness to provide effective thermal protection without compromising comfort or mobility.
Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials
While typically used for building materials, ASTM E119 / UL 263 also applies to the evaluation of protective clothing materials in high-heat environments. Neroshield™ meets these standards, demonstrating that our fire-retardant solutions can withstand extreme temperatures and help prevent fire spread.
Equip your firefighting teams with the best fire-retardant solutions available. Neroshield™ is dedicated to providing advanced protection that meets the highest industry standards, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of firefighter gear.
