Embracing Innovative Technology for a Secure Future
Electric Arc Industry Application Description: 3H specializes in high-performance Arc Resistant Flame Retardant (FR) fabrics, specifically tailored for the power industry, which provide excellent arc protection and thermal protection to ensure the safety and comfort of power workers in high voltage environments.
Power industry workers are often exposed to multiple safety risks such as electric arc explosions, high-temperature flames, intense radiant heat and electric shocks. 3H's FR fabrics are made with advanced flame retardant fibers and multi-layer laminating technology, which provide excellent thermal protection against electric arcs (ATPV/ELIM) in accordance with EN 61482-1-2 (Box Test) and EN 61482-1-1 (Open Arc Test) standards. Our fabrics not only protect against the high temperatures and flames caused by electric arcs, preventing burns and melt drips but also have good anti-static properties, reducing the risk of secondary electric shocks. At the same time, 3H fabrics are breathable and lightweight, so they remain comfortable and flexible even during long hours of work. They are suitable for high-risk environments such as grid maintenance, high-voltage equipment operation, and substation overhaul, providing comprehensive and reliable protection for power workers.

Arc flash explosions pose a hidden threat to workers in high-risk industries like power generation, petrochemicals, and rail transit. Arc-resistant flame-retardant fabrics can rapidly absorb and dissipate the immense heat energy of an arc, effectively shielding the wearer from the intense heat and flames, providing crucial time for escape and rescue. Their core function lies not only in flame retardancy but also in their specialized fiber structure and processing, which creates an inflatable, insulating layer at the moment of arcing, significantly minimizing thermal damage and protecting the skin from direct exposure to high temperatures.
Arc-resistant flame-retardant fabrics typically utilize high-performance fiber blends, such as a strategic combination of aramid, flame-retardant viscose, and conductive fibers, resulting in both superior arc protection and wearer comfort. Notable features include extremely high arc protection ratings (e.g., meeting NFPA 70E and ASTM F1959 standards), capable of withstanding thermal shocks up to 40 cal/cm², as well as excellent abrasion resistance and breathability, ensuring flexibility and comfort during extended work. Some high-end fabrics also incorporate anti-static and chemical-resistant features, meeting the diverse protection needs of complex working conditions.
These fabrics are widely used in high-risk scenarios such as power system maintenance, substation operations, petrochemical overhauls, and aviation ground operations. Typical applications include protective clothing, arc masks, gloves, and other complete sets for power workers, as well as specialized workwear for explosion-proof workers in the petrochemical industry. With the rapid development of the new energy industry, demand is growing in emerging sectors such as photovoltaic power station maintenance and lithium battery production. Furthermore, some countries have included arc-resistant clothing in mandatory protective standards for the power industry, further highlighting its importance.
Arc-resistant flame-retardant fabrics, through the deep integration of materials science and safety engineering, transform the invisible threat of arcs into manageable safety parameters. Selecting high-grade protective fabrics that meet international certifications is not only essential for business compliance but also a vital safeguard for workers. 3H Safety Technology Co., Ltd. is dedicated to product research and development and fabric production.
