It will remain Flame Resistant after years of frequent and repeated laundering. ARC25 is the lightest weight arc flash suit in the market at this protection level. The shield window, with its scratch resistant coating, will last 5 to 10 times longer than uncoated shields. - Material: 80% Inherently FR aramid and 20% melamine. - Clothing Arc Rating (ATPV): 29 cal/cm² - Fabric Weight: 10 oz/yd² - Hood Arc Rating (ATPV): 32 cal/cm² -VLT: 57% Every lineman, electrical contractor, industrial electrician and thermographer, working in the proximity of an energized circuit, is at risk of serious or even fatal burns. Every day in the USA, there are approximately 10 Arc Flash incidents and up to 3 fatalities. An Arc Flash can cause 3rd degree burns in a fraction of a second. NFPA 70E standard was developed to address this hazard, establishing a series of work practices and protective measures to reduce the risk of injury. #IFR3A: Coverall + Arc Flash Hood with Hard Cap #IFR3B: Coat and Bib-Overalls + Arc Flash Hood with Hard Cap Color: Grey Size: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL Oberon’s ARC25 suit is designed to provide protection from arc flash heat exposures. The suit exceeds the requirements of NFPA 70E Hazard Risk Category 3 (HRC3), up to 29 cal/cm². Oberon’s ARC25 suit is manufactured with 80% inherently FR aramid, and 20% melamine. These high technology lightweight (up to 40% lighter than FRT fabrics) and proprietary fabrics can reduce heat stress. All materials used in the construction of these garments are inherently flame resistant, including the thread. The coats and coveralls feature Nomex® sleeve cuffs and double front closures with FR zipper tape and Dupont® Nomex® Velcro® safety flap. The bib-overalls include FRT suspenders and an expandable pleat at the waist for adjustable fit and comfort. The bib-overalls and the coveralls feature wide pant legs that are easy to slide on and off. There are no open pleats that could compromise safety if not properly closed. The hood window is manufactured with Oberon’s proprietary ArcX™ energy absorbing polycarbonate material and is coated to be scratch resistant and antifog. Standards Compliance: ANSI Z87.1-2003, NFPA 70E-2004 & ASTM F1506-02a. Tested according to ASTM F1959-05a and ASTM F2178- 02. NFPA 70E Article 130.7(C)(1) requires that an employee working within the Flash Protection Boundary wears protective clothing and other personal protective equipment. Note: PPE should be chosen to meet or exceed the expected incident energy at the potential work site. - Arc Flash Undergarments - Arc Flash DailyWearTM HRC1 & 2 - Arc Flash Cooling Vest - Arc Supression Blankets - FreshAirTM Hood Ventilation System - Electrical Rubber Insulated Tools - Spectacles for impact protection - Goggles for impact protection Arc Flash suits offered in kits containing clothing, hood, gloves & storage bag
