DL1491FR Flame-Resistant Rainsuit — Specimen-Level Data
DL1491FR Flame-Resistant Rainsuit: SGS Test Results Explained
Every claim we make about our FR rainwear is backed by third-party testing. Here’s a transparent look at one of those reports — a full breakdown of what was tested, how it was tested, and what the results actually mean for the person wearing this suit.
The Product
This standard heavy-duty 3-piece configuration is built for wet, high-visibility work environments where secondary flame exposure is a compliance requirement — oil & gas field maintenance, utility line work, and industrial sites where rain gear needs to provide FR protection.
The Testing Framework
The sample was tested “as received” — no special pre-conditioning or aging, just the fabric as it ships to a customer. Five specimens were tested in each direction (lengthwise and widthwise), since woven and coated fabrics can behave differently depending on grain direction.
The Official SGS Results
| Direction | Specimen Range | Afterflame Time | Afterglow Time | Char Length (mm) | Melting / Dripping |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lengthwise | 1 – 5 | NIL | NIL | 99–108 (avg 104) | Yes (Y) |
| Widthwise | 1 – 5 | NIL | NIL | 96–108 (avg 101) | Yes (Y) |
What These Results Mean in Practice
NIL Afterflame — Both Directions
Once the 12-second ignition source was removed, none of the ten specimens continued to burn. The fabric self-extinguished immediately.
NIL Afterglow — Both Directions
Zero residual smoldering after the flame stopped — eliminating the risk of the garment quietly re-igniting after the initial thermal exposure ends.
Consistent Char Length (~101–104mm)
Tight variance between lengthwise and widthwise directions proves uniform PVC coating across the entire fabric lot — not a lucky single sample.
Melting / Dripping Noted (Y)
As a PVC-coated fabric, melting is an inherent physical characteristic under direct flame. Always match fabric type to your site’s specific hazard profile.
Why We Publish This Data
Many suppliers market products as “flame resistant” without ever providing the hard data. At PURAINGEAR, we’d rather you see the exact numbers — including the parts that require professional context — so you can make an informed procurement decision based on facts, not marketing claims.
