Flame Resistant Officers and Chief Petty Officers Work Uniform Evaluation.

Abstract

The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility evaluated potential commercially available fire retardant (FR) candidate replacement fabrics for the Navy's 65/35 polyester/cotton poplin khaki shirt and twill trouser fabrics, for application in all officer and Chief Petty Officer (CPO) khaki shipboard work uniforms. Based upon user preference, durability and flame protection data, the recommended flame resistant working uniform for officers and CPO's is the inherently FR 55/45 Fibrous Flame Retardant/cotton blended shirting and trouser materials, commercially known as 'Firewear'.
