Then there are workers who have to operate in hazardous environments. Literally in a flash, electrical arcs can cause clothes (non FR) to ignite. That’s where the Neese Arc series’ can provide protection at varying levels of arc flash. The couple of series’ include Dura Arc I, Dura Arc II, Petro Arc, and Flex Arc. Dura Arc I was the entry into arc protection, using PVC on Dupont. It’s protective rainwear that meets the Arc Flash Rating of CAT I (ASTM F1891). Dura Arc II is PVC on woven modacrylic but has an Arc Flash Rating of CAT 2. The Petro Arc and Flex Arc series also have an Arc Flash Rating of CAT (ASTM F1891). Suggested applications range from gas companies, drilling operations, utilities, and electrical maintenance.

Then what happens in an arc flash? Well, an arc flash breaks down into two steps. First a burst of energy, traveling at light speed, impacts the subject. It can reach temperatures as high as 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Then in the second step, it’s a strong shock wave, created by the arc flash.
