- Abstract
- There are two requirements to be considered when selecting apparel for use in a hazardous thermal environment. The first is that the clothing itself shall not contribute to the wearer's injury by burning, melting, or disintegrating in the presence of a high energy heat source. The second is that the clothing system act as a thermal barrier which will effectively protect the wearer for a given interval of time.
