Product Overview
The Bizweld Work FR Sleeves are an essential protective accessory designed for professionals operating in hazardous industrial environments. Engineered from Bizweld Work 100% cotton, these sleeves are specifically developed to provide a reliable barrier against heat and flame while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable throughout their shift. Unlike standard protective wear, these sleeves balance robust protection with the natural breathability of cotton, making them suitable for demanding tasks that require additional forearm shielding.
Key Features
Flame Resistant Fabric: The 100% cotton Bizweld material offers inherent protection against heat and flames, crucial for maintaining safety in high-risk zones.
Elasticated Cuffs: These provide a secure and flexible fit at both ends, preventing the sleeves from slipping and ensuring that no gaps are left exposed to potential hazards.
Substantial Construction: The substantial-weight fabric offers enhanced durability and resistance to wear, extending the functional life of the garment in abrasive environments.
Ergonomic Design: Crafted to provide maximum comfort without restricting movement, allowing for precision work while fully protected.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Bizweld Work FR Sleeves stems from the specialized cotton weave. While many flame-resistant materials can feel stiff or overly synthetic, this 100% cotton fabric maintains a soft handle and excellent moisture-wicking properties. This is particularly beneficial when working in high-temperature settings where heat stress is a concern. The substantial-weight of the fabric ensures it can withstand the rigours of industrial use, providing a dependable secondary layer of protection that integrates seamlessly with your primary workwear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Even technical protective equipment can reflect your brand identity. These sleeves are suitable for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional finish, ideal for company logos or staff names that need to withstand industrial laundering. For larger, more impactful branding, our high-quality print processes ensure your design remains visible and sharp. Our expert team in Telford, with decades of experience since 1976, manages all customisation in-house to ensure the protective integrity of the garment is never compromised.
Use Cases
These sleeves are specifically designed for workers in welding, metalwork, and other industries where spark and flame protection are mandatory. They are intended to be used as a supplementary layer and must be worn in conjunction with a suitable flame-resistant coverall or a jacket and trouser combination to ensure full-body compliance with safety standards.

Practical Advice
When selecting these sleeves, ensure they are pulled taut over your primary garment to avoid bunching, which could catch sparks. They are designed as a universal fit, but the elasticated cuffs are firm enough to stay in place over various sleeve thicknesses. Always inspect the sleeves for any signs of thinning or damage before entering a hazardous area.
Caring for your product
To maintain the flame-resistant properties and the structural integrity of the cotton, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures may lead to excessive shrinkage or premature degradation of the fabric fibres.
Bleaching agents must be avoided entirely. Chlorine and oxygen-based bleaches can chemically strip the flame-resistant finish from the fabric, rendering the protective qualities of the sleeves ineffective and putting the wearer at risk.
These sleeves should be line dried only. We advise against tumble drying as the concentrated heat can cause the cotton to contract and lose its shape. To maintain a professional appearance, you may iron the sleeves at a maximum temperature of 150°C, which helps to flatten the fibres and keep the garment looking well-maintained. Do not dry clean, as the chemicals used in the process can interfere with the technical properties of the Bizweld fabric.
