BP-250-FRFC - Techniweld 24x36 Green Flame Retardant Cotton Bib Apron

Techniweld BP-250-FRFC: Durable FR Cotton Welding Apron

For industrial applications requiring agility and breathability, the Techniweld BP-250-FRFC Bib Apron stands out as a superior choice in body protection. This apron is engineered using 9 oz. flame-retardant (FR) cotton, a material specifically treated to self-extinguish when exposed to ignition sources, thereby preventing the spread of fire and reducing burn risks. It is specifically designed to bridge the gap between heavy leather protection and standard shop clothing.

Key Features and Construction

The BP-250-FRFC is built to withstand the rigors of the metalworking shop. The 9 oz. fabric weight is heavy enough to deflect sparks and minor slag produced during grinding, torch cutting, and low-amperage welding, yet light enough to allow for full range of motion. The apron measures 24 inches by 36 inches, providing excellent frontal coverage that protects the wearer's chest, stomach, and upper legs from burns and UV radiation generated by the welding arc.

Ergonomics and Utility

Techniweld has designed this apron with the user's convenience in mind. It includes a handy chest pocket, allowing welders to keep marking tools and gauges accessible without having to reach for a tool belt. The strapping system is simple yet effective, featuring adjustable ties that secure the apron around the neck and waist. This ensures that the PPE stays in place even when the operator is moving around large workpieces or working in out-of-position scenarios.

Application Suitability

While not intended for heavy overhead stick welding or high-amperage flux-cored applications where heavy slag is present, the BP-250-FRFC is the ideal solution for:

• TIG Welding: Where precision is key and spatter is minimal.
• Light MIG Welding: For sheet metal and automotive work.
• Grinding and Cutting: Protecting clothes from abrasive dust and sparks.
• General Fabrication: Serving as a general-purpose shop apron.

Invest in the Techniweld BP-250-FRFC for a safety solution that doesn't compromise on comfort or mobility.
