Classification by Core Protective Function
Flame-retardant fabrics
Typically made from materials such as aramid, these fabrics rapidly form a carbonized thermal insulation layer upon exposure to fire, thereby slowing the spread of combustion. Primarily used in workwear for welders and firefighters, they provide critical time for escape in high-temperature environments.
Anti-static fabrics
These fabrics eliminate static electricity accumulation by incorporating conductive fibers, preventing the risk of explosions caused by static sparks. They are widely used in workwear for industries such as petrochemicals and precision instrument manufacturing.
"Three-proof" fabrics
These fabrics offer resistance to water, oil, and stains. They are typically finished with imported agents (such as Teflon or 3M) that cause liquids to bead up and roll off naturally. Commonly used in workwear for the catering and food processing industries, they are also easier to clean during daily use.
Acid- and alkali-resistant fabrics
These utilize airtight composite materials to block corrosive chemicals. Available in both breathable and non-breathable varieties, they are suitable for work environments where exposure to acids and alkalis is likely, such as chemical workshops and laboratories.
