Tianjun
Product Introduction
Product Name: FR Viscose / Meta-aramid Fabric with Anti-static for Protective Clothing
This FR viscose and meta-aramid fabric features built-in anti-static protection for demanding protective clothing applications. Inherently flame retardant, static-dissipative, and soft to the touch, it meets NFPA 2112, EN 11612, and EN 1149 standards. Ideal for oil & gas, electrical, and chemical industry workwear.
Fabric Composition:
FR viscose
Meta-aramid
Anti-static conductive yarn (carbon fiber core)
FR Type: Inherent (permanent, non-post-treatment)
Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Inherent Flame Retardant | FR property is built into the fiber – never washes out or wears away |
⚡ Anti-static Protection | Conductive yarn dissipates static charge – prevents spark ignition |

Full Product Description
FR Viscose / Meta-aramid Fabric with Anti-static for Protective Clothing
Overview
This engineered protective fabric addresses three critical workplace hazards in a single textile solution:
| Hazard | Protection Mechanism |
|---|---|
�� Flame & Heat | Inherent FR viscose + meta-aramid |
⚡ Static Electricity | Carbon-core conductive yarn |
�� Thermal Degradation | Meta-aramid reinforcement |
Material Science
FR Viscose (50-65%):
Derived from regenerated cellulose with FR additive chemically bonded
Provides soft hand feel and breathability
Inherent FR – does not rely on topical treatment
Meta-aramid (25-40%):
High-performance synthetic fiber
Thermal stability up to 400°C (752°F)
Excellent mechanical strength and abrasion resistance
Does not melt or drip
Anti-static Conductive Yarn (1-3%)
Carbon black core wrapped with synthetic fiber
Provides permanent static dissipation
Woven into fabric at regular intervals (typically 5mm-10mm grid)
Performance Data
Anti-static Testing (EN 1149-3 / GB 12014):
| Parameter | Requirement | Result |
|---|---|---|
Charge decay (50% RH) | < 0.5 sec | 0.2 sec |
Charge decay (25% RH) | < 5.0 sec | 2.1 sec |
Half-life decay | < 0.2 sec | 0.1 sec |
Wash cycles maintaining performance | 50+ | Pass |
