Product Overview
The Modaflame Knit FR Sweatshirt represents a sophisticated approach to personal protection in environments where heat exposure is a daily reality. Designed with both safety and comfort in mind, this sweatshirt provides a vital barrier without the restrictive nature of traditional heavy outerwear. It is a well-engineered garment that balances technical performance with the ease of a standard sweatshirt, ensuring that safety compliance does not come at the cost of mobility.
Key Features
- Raglan Sleeves: This design choice allows for a greater range of movement in the arms and shoulders, which is essential for manual tasks and reduces fabric tension during overhead work.
- Ribbed Collar and Cuffs: The inclusion of ribbed elements ensures a secure fit that stays in place throughout the working day, preventing the ingress of debris and maintaining the garment's shape.
- Round Neck Design: Provides a classic, professional appearance while allowing the sweatshirt to be easily layered over other protective base layers.
- Flame Resistant Properties: Specifically engineered for workers exposed to heat, providing peace of mind in high-risk industrial settings.
Design & Performance
The performance of this sweatshirt is rooted in its Modaflame Knit fabric, a technical blend of 60% Modacrylic, 39% Cotton, and 1% Carbon Fibre. The modacrylic component offers inherent flame resistance that does not wash out, while the cotton ensures the fabric remains breathable and soft against the skin. The addition of carbon fibre provides essential anti-static properties, making this a truly multi-functional piece of safety equipment.
In terms of feel, this is a substantial mid-weight garment that offers significant warmth and protection without being overly bulky. The fabric is robust enough to withstand the rigours of an industrial workplace while remaining comfortable enough for extended shifts.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its technical specifications, the Modaflame Knit FR Sweatshirt is an excellent candidate for custom branding. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting the art of garment customisation since 1976, and we handle all work in-house to ensure the highest standards.
For a permanent and professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos and individual names, providing a textured, high-quality finish that withstands regular laundering. If you require larger, more impactful designs, our high-quality print options are ideal. We take great care to ensure that our customisation processes respect the technical integrity of the flame-resistant fabric.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is specifically designed for professionals working in the utilities, oil and gas, and manufacturing sectors. It is particularly suited for electricians, engineers, and site workers who require flame-resistant protection but prefer the comfort and flexibility of a knitted sweatshirt over a rigid jacket.
Why MyWorkwear
Choosing MyWorkwear means partnering with a British company that has nearly half a century of expertise. Since 1976, we have been at the forefront of the workwear industry, operating from our specialist facility in Telford. We understand that your workwear is more than just clothing; it is a tool that must perform reliably every single day.
Practical Advice
The raglan sleeve design provides a more relaxed fit across the chest, which is ideal for those who need to wear multiple layers underneath. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend choosing your standard size for a secure but comfortable fit that allows for full range of motion.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance characteristics and flame-resistant properties of this garment, it is essential to follow the correct care procedures. Proper maintenance ensures the fabric continues to protect you and that your branded logos remain clear and professional.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a normal process. Exceeding this temperature can damage the technical fibres and may lead to premature wear of the customisation. Please do not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals can degrade the flame-resistant properties of the modacrylic blend and discolour the fabric.
The garment should be line dried rather than tumble dried. Tumble drying can cause unnecessary shrinkage and stress to the carbon fibres. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting with a maximum temperature of 110°C to avoid damaging the synthetic components of the knit. Finally, do not dry clean this sweatshirt, as the chemicals used in the process are not compatible with the technical safety standards of the fabric.
