Thermal protective clothing should have taken performance and wearing comfort

Thermal Protective Performance is fire service must have an important protective properties, thermal protective fabric is slow to prevent heat transfer performance, and its essence is to make the outside heat slowly transferred to the skin, so that the heat generated heat damage on the human body reduced to a minimum. In the thermal protection process, the fabric is located between the skin and the heat source and the analog, the role of the fabric surface, part of the heat reflected back from the surface of the fabric, the fabric portion were absorbed, thereby preventing the part of the heat transfer to the skin; Moreover, the heat through the fabric delivered to the skin from the outside than when heat directly pass the same distance in the air slowly, and thus the skin's thermal protection has played a certain role.

So thermal protective clothing in addition to the above should have thermal protection properties, but also must have good wearability, such as having a certain degree of tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance, color fastness and washability. Where washability thermal protective clothing is maintained even after repeated washing after the original thermal protective performance, and maintain clothing dimensional stability. With thermal protection technology and the increasing demand for thermal protection, thermal protective clothing should not only have good thermal protection properties and performance, but also have good wearing comfort, which the wearer to play ergonomics is very important. However, in the research and development of thermal protective clothing, the enhanced thermal protective performance and reduce the heat load of the body's metabolism is always contradictory, these two factors may be the wearer damage or affect their health. Excellent thermal protective clothing as required to external heat with good barrier effect, while the garments to a certain heat and moisture transfer capacity of the body to facilitate the requirements, therefore, the evaluation of the heat protective clothing product research and development, to meet some challenging, namely thermal protective clothing should also have good thermal protection, adequate physical activity and low thermal load. Heat loss and evaporation of sweat.
