FR/CP Lab Coat - Chemical, Fire, & Arc Flash Resistant Lab Coat
Navy Blue FR/CP Lab Coat With or Without Pockets & Nomex® Knit Wrists
National Safety Apparel Chemical Resistant FR Lab Coat - Navy Blue
Many chemicals and compounds utilized in lead and battery manufacturing and laboratory settings present a flash fire hazard. In 2015 flame-resistant lab coats became a requirement for laboratories using flammable chemicals (per NFPA 45). According to the standard , flame-resistant clothing needs to meet the requirements of NFPA 2112.

- Fabric/Material: 4.4 oz. CR/FR Aramid Blend.
- FR only Nomex® knit wrists keep sleeves in place.
- Durable, high-temp plastic snaps for easy donning & doffing.
- Bottom side vents for increased mobility.
- Side pass-through allows access to pockets underneath the coat.
- Durable accessory loop for safety glasses, pens, badges, etc.
- Choose With Pockets for chest pocket with covered flap and pen/pencil slot and lower pockets with covered flaps to secure contents.

FR/CP Lab Coat Resistance
FR/CP Lab Coat Chemical Resistance
Warning: Not designed for primary chemical protection. For wearers exposed to significant amounts of corrosive or solvent agents especially under pressure, primary chemical protection is recommended. Primary protection is typically air-tight and non-breathable.

*** Commonly used FR lab coat fabric
The challenge chemicals in the study include a broad range of chemical classes and hazards but are not a complete list of all potential agents that could be used in a particular work situation. Chemical hazards may be evaluated by dropping a small drop of a challenge liquid on the material per the AATCC 193 test method. Should any challenge chemical fail to bead up on the fabric surface, the garment should not be used in that particular application. Typical use which includes abrasion, chemical exposure as well as wash / wear cycles may impact chemical and flame-resistant performance. While NSA CR/FR fabric shows consistent resistance to corrosive liquids and oxidizers up to 50 wash cycles, careful consideration should be taken to evaluate the garment initially and routinely after wash wear cycles relative to the particular chemical hazards in a given situation per the AATCC 193 method. If damage to a garment that could impair the flame-resistant properties of the garment is incurred, the end user should take care to replace the effected garment in accordance with the organization's safety procedures.

FR/CP Lab Coat Care Instructions
- READ THE GARMENT LABEL AND LAUNDER PER INSTRUCTIONS ON GARMENT LABEL.
- Lightly soiled garments may be washed at normal wash water temperature settings.
- For heavily soiled garments, a maximum temperature of 140°F is suggested.
- Use standard synthetic, liquid laundry detergents for washing. Do not use chlorine bleach, starches, or fabric softeners, or any other laundry chemicals.
- Garments may be tumble-dried. Steam or dry iron set to medium may be used to touch up the fabric. Do not Dry Clean.
- Inspect garments after each wash and evaluate any damaged areas which could impact safety performance. Repair any rips or tears with flame-resistant Nomex thread.
