Abstract
In this study, the thermal performance of limited and reusable thermal chemical protective clothing from domestic and foreign countries were investigated in terms of flame resistance and thermal protective performance. The results showed that the performance of thermal protective clothing certificated by KFI was comparable with that of foreign products certificated by NFPA 1991 and EN 943, respectively. Moreover, the cumulative flame time of all three products were zero second and the burning distance of S sample exhibited two times higher than that of the other two samples. The thermal protective clothing of chemical protective clothing made of nonwoven fabric is better than that of the other ones. There was no burn injury until 6 seconds from flash fire test, but 5.8 % of second burn injuries were observed after 12 seconds. In addition, Inflating the chemical protective clothing would increase the exposure time when encountering the chemical flash fire.
