Increasing incidences of occupational accidents have urged government agencies, such as ASEAN-OSH Network (OSHNET) and OSH, to legislate stringent guidelines in Southeast Asia and to ensure the safety of workers. Fire incidents during handling of chemicals and electrical equipment cause economic loss to the employers in terms of compensation and insurance.
This has urged the various companies in petrochemical and power generation sectors to incorporate mandatory usage of high-quality flame retardant apparels in their operating facilities. Heat-proof clothing and accessories are primarily based on cotton & wool in addition to high temperature resistant fibers such as aramid spunlace, polybenzimidazole (PBI), carbon-impregnated fibers, steel, fiberglass, nylon and polyester, and copper.
Apparel manufacturers design and supply their products for various end-use industries by employing unique and innovative technologies. Most of the key players either utilize their proprietary technology or obtain the license from other industry participants. In addition, FR apparel manufacturers have established long-term partnerships with the distributors in Southeast Asia to further enhance their market position.
