5 best welder pants (FRC) for men and women

What is the Safety Hazard if used wrong welding pant?

During welding, welders are exposed to high heat, spatters, hot parts, and welding arc- all different sources for a burn (fire). As we know, to avoid a fire we need to eliminate one part of the fire triangle & during welding we can’t avoid the above sources & oxygen in the surrounding.

For a fire to start, three elements are needed:

1. Oxygen (available in surrounding when welding)
2. Source of fire (abundant during welding such as spatters, hot parts, grinding)
3. Fuel or anything that will burn (wrong clothing selected for a welder)

What we can do however to choose a Pant that is made of fire-resistant cloth, also known as FRC. Thus removing the one element from the fire triangle & you will make yourself & welding safe.

The best welding pants are fabricated with 100% cotton material. Cotton is durable, controls moisture, and is highly comfortable & economical for clothing.

Cotton does not have issues of perspiration like other synthetics clothing materials.

Synthetic clothing materials such as nylon, rayon, or polyester must not be used by the welders. First of all, they are not fire-resistant.

Any burning of such materials is quick and it will stick to the skin. Also, they are not much good to control perspiration.
