Product Overview
The Modaflame Knit FR Long Sleeve T-Shirt is a sophisticated piece of technical workwear designed for those operating in environments where flame resistance and anti-static properties are not merely optional, but mandatory for safety. This garment distinguishes itself from standard alternatives through its high-quality construction and the use of premium inherent materials that provide permanent protection throughout the life of the shirt.
Key Features
- Inherent Flame Resistance: The fabric is engineered with flame-resistant properties that cannot be washed out, ensuring consistent protection regardless of the garment's age.
- Anti-Static Protection: Integrated carbon fibres provide essential protection against electrostatic discharge, a critical requirement for high-risk industrial settings.
- Comfort-Driven Blend: By combining modacrylic with cotton, this T-shirt offers a soft, breathable feel against the skin without compromising on safety standards.
- Long Sleeve Design: Provides increased surface area coverage for the arms, enhancing the overall protective barrier for the wearer.
Design & Performance
The performance of this T-shirt lies in its Modaflame Knit construction. The blend of 60% modacrylic and 39% cotton creates a lightweight fabric that manages moisture effectively while maintaining its shape. Unlike treated fabrics, the safety characteristics are woven into the very structure of the material. The addition of 1% carbon fibre is a technical necessity, providing the anti-static performance required for specialised environments.
Despite its high-tech composition, the garment feels remarkably similar to a standard high-quality cotton T-shirt. It is designed to be worn comfortably for long shifts, either as a standalone top or as a foundational base layer within a broader multi-norm safety system.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Maintaining a professional appearance while adhering to safety protocols is straightforward with the Modaflame Knit T-shirt. This garment is suitable for both print and embroidery customisation. For a traditional and durable finish, embroidery is recommended for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, high-quality look that withstands the rigours of industrial wear.
If your branding requires larger or more intricate designs, our high-quality printing processes ensure a bold and clear finish. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, manages all customisation in-house, ensuring that your branding is applied with the same attention to detail that went into the garment's manufacture.
Use Cases
This long-sleeved T-shirt is specifically engineered for professionals working in the power, petrochemical, or manufacturing sectors. It is an ideal choice for electricians or technicians who require anti-static clothing to prevent sparking in volatile atmospheres, as well as anyone working in proximity to heat or flame hazards.

Practical Advice
For those working in variable temperatures, this T-shirt excels as a layering piece. We suggest ensuring a comfortable fit that allows for ease of movement; if the garment is too tight, the breathable properties of the cotton blend may be restricted. When selecting sizes, consider that this is a regular fit designed to sit comfortably against the body.
Caring for your product
To ensure this garment continues to provide the necessary protection and maintains its professional appearance, proper care is vital. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Using higher temperatures or aggressive cycles may prematurely age the fabric and affect the garment's fit.
It is essential that you do not use bleach when cleaning this T-shirt. Harsh bleaching agents will degrade the modacrylic and cotton fibres, potentially compromising the integrity of the flame-resistant properties and damaging the colour of the fabric.
We advise that this product is not tumble dried; instead, it should be line dried. Tumble drying can lead to unnecessary shrinkage and may affect the anti-static carbon fibres. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting not exceeding 110°C to avoid damaging the technical materials. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemical processes involved can interfere with the inherent safety features of the Modaflame knit.
