Product Overview
The Modaflame Knit FR Long Sleeve T-Shirt is a high-specification safety garment designed for professionals who require consistent protection without compromising on comfort. Engineered with premium materials, this long-sleeve shirt provides a robust defense against heat, flames, and electrostatic discharge. Unlike treated fabrics that lose their efficacy over time, the safety properties of this garment are inherent to the fabric itself, offering peace of mind throughout the life of the product. It represents a significant step up from standard workwear, combining the feel of a high-quality casual shirt with the technical requirements of industrial safety standards.
Key Features
- Inherent Flame Resistance: The fabric is constructed with Modacrylic fibres which are naturally flame resistant, meaning the protection will never wash out or fade over time.
- Anti-Static Properties: Integrated carbon fibres prevent the buildup of static electricity, which is critical for safety in environments where sparks could lead to catastrophe.
- Breathable Cotton Blend: The inclusion of high-quality cotton ensures the garment is soft against the skin and allows for effective moisture management during physically demanding tasks.
- High Visibility Yellow: The vibrant yellow colour ensures the wearer remains clearly visible to colleagues and vehicle operators, reducing the risk of accidents in low-light conditions.
- Ribbed Cuffs: The snug-fitting cuffs help to keep the sleeves in place and prevent snagging on machinery, while also providing a barrier against debris.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight garment is crafted from a specialized blend of 60% Modacrylic, 39% Cotton, and 1% Carbon Fibre. This precise composition, known as Modaflame Knit HV, ensures the shirt is both durable and functional. The Modacrylic provides the necessary thermal protection, while the cotton ensures that the wearer remains comfortable during long shifts. The inclusion of 1% carbon fibre is a technical necessity, providing the anti-static performance required for multi-norm compliance. The fabric feels substantial and sturdy, yet remains flexible enough to allow for a full range of motion, which is essential for manual labor.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your workforce maintains a professional appearance, this Modaflame t-shirt can be customized with your company branding. Embroidery is highly recommended for logos and staff names, as it provides a durable, high-quality finish that complements the premium nature of the garment. For those requiring larger safety messaging or bold branding, our high-definition printing services offer excellent clarity and visibility.

Practical Advice
For maximum protection, always ensure that this t-shirt is tucked into your flame-resistant trousers to avoid any gaps in coverage. When layering, it is best paired with other flame-resistant garments to ensure the safety integrity of the entire outfit. If you are between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size to allow for easier movement and to facilitate layering underneath.
Caring for your product
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure this garment continues to provide the necessary level of protection. Following these instructions will help maintain the fabric's integrity and the vibrancy of your custom branding.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum of 40°C using a normal process. Washing at higher temperatures can cause the fabric to degrade prematurely and may affect the fit of the garment. Do not use bleach, as chlorine-based chemicals will destroy the flame-resistant properties of the fibres and cause significant discolouration.
This garment should be line dried only; do not tumble dry. The high heat of a tumble dryer can damage the delicate carbon fibres and cause the t-shirt to shrink. For pressing, use an iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C. Avoid high heat when ironing to prevent scorching the technical fabric. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the industrial solvents used can compromise the protective features of the Modaflame knit.
