The<br />

You Want to Wear<br />

Contents<br />

For ten years <strong>Benchmark</strong> has been dedicated specifically to the flame resistant personal<br />

protection industry. We are different than other companies because we focus on<br />

products which are arguably the highest quality and the most comfortable to wear. With<br />

the exception of one patented non-<strong>FR</strong> item, arc and flame resistant clothing is our only<br />

focus and our expertise shows. Our products are safe, compliant, and one of the only <strong>FR</strong><br />

products which you can wear safely against your skin.<br />

We do not offer the cheapest products in our market, nor do we offer the most expensive;<br />

our goal is balance. By reducing middlemen and having a near vertical operation we can<br />

offer superior products at a reasonable cost. If you have had it with products which are<br />

heavy, hot, wear out prematurely and simply uncomfortable, contact us and we will put<br />

you in touch with an authorized distributor in your area immediately. See for yourself why<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> is “the <strong>FR</strong> you want to wear.”<br />

This coverall is the heaviest and most expensive coverall but it<br />

also offers the most protection. At 13 calories its primary use is to<br />

protect against arc flash (zap).<br />

Electrical threats can<br />

generate temperatures<br />

up to 4x the surface<br />

of the sun, or 35,000<br />

degrees Fahrenheit,<br />

and normally involve a<br />

violent explosion.<br />

2,000˚<br />

Flash fires are most often<br />

associated with the oil &<br />

gas industry. By definition<br />

they involve a fast moving<br />

flame front lasting less than<br />

three seconds, generating<br />

temperatures up to 2,000<br />

degrees Fahrenheit.<br />

A coverall you actually don’t mind wearing.<br />

We developed the Feather Weight Coverall specifically for the oil and gas industry<br />

and designed it to keep workers cool and comfortable. The Feather Weight is<br />

lightweight, non-abrasive, and breathable; a coverall you actually don’t mind<br />

wearing in warm weather. <strong>Benchmark</strong>’s <strong>FR</strong> 5.5 oz. Twill is made from combed cotton<br />

ring spun yarns, which yields a durable yet lightweight material. Our fabric is nonallergenic,<br />

skin safe, and will not react with sweat while working.<br />

Crossover<br />

The Crossover Coverall is a medium weight coverall which meets the HRC 2<br />

requirement for electrical workers and also is compliant to NFPA 2112-2012.<br />

It crosses over between the electrical field and oil & gas… one coverall for<br />

both threats.<br />

Arc-Rated<br />

Until recently, clothing worn to protect against flash<br />

fire (boom) or arc flash (zap), were both referred to as<br />

flame resistant clothing. The 2012 Edition of NFPA 70E<br />

is introducing a new term called “arc-rated” to further<br />

define the materials used to protect against arc flash.<br />

Materials that are used to protect against electrical<br />

discharge must be flame resistant and also must carry<br />

an arc-rating. To achieve an arc rating the material needs<br />

to have been tested for exposure to electrical arc. All<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> products carry an arc-rating noted as a<br />

number followed by “cal/cm 2 ,” to represent the ATPV or<br />

Ebt of the product.<br />

Burn Injury Prediction<br />

This illustration is the result of an instrumented mannequin test used to predict<br />

the percentage of body burn a wearer could theoretically receive during a three<br />

second flash fire. According to NFPA 2112, 50% body burn is the threshold between<br />

passing and failing.<br />

Our Standard Coverall received a 7.38% total body burn with 6.56% of that being<br />

the unprotected head. Only one sensor, covered by the fabric, registered a 2nd<br />

degree burn representing .82% of the mannequin surface.<br />

Electrical: Tired of Heavy Shirts?<br />

Really Nice Shirt<br />

When you touch and feel this shirt you will know how it got its name! The “Really<br />

Nice” shirt is made from a lightweight fabric with high thermal performance. The<br />

combination of cable-like ring spun yarns and a unique weave makes this one of the<br />

softest HRC 2 shirts on the market today. This shirt is primarily for electrical and<br />

utility workers who need a single layer shirt, with an 8 cal or greater rating.<br />

Breathes:<br />

Blast & Flash:<br />

The unique weave of this material allows<br />

body heat and vapor to escape through<br />

passages created by floating yarns.<br />

During an incident the yarns compact and<br />

protect the wearer from arc flash and flash<br />

fire. Flame resistant properties do not<br />

diminish with washing when proper care<br />

instructions are followed.<br />

Temperature & Productivity<br />

High temperatures affect several human responses including comfort, perceived<br />

air quality and work performance according to a study at the Lawrence Berkeley<br />

National Laboratory. It was determined, in a controlled-environment experiment,<br />

that the ideal temperature for working is 72 degrees. As the temperature increases<br />

comfort and productivity go down. Studies indicate that work performance<br />

decreases by 2% for every 1.3º Fahrenheit rise in temperature.<br />

We designed 2nd Skin as the<br />

coolest and lightest product<br />

we could make and continue<br />

to exceed flame resistant<br />

performance requirements.<br />

While 2nd Skin can be an<br />

excellent layer in the winter,<br />

its most appreciated in hot<br />

environments as an effective<br />

tool to help combat the heat.<br />

2nd Skin is a blend of inherently<br />

flame resistant fibers and<br />

natural cotton fibers. This<br />

blend helps regulate body temperature and offers consistent flame resistant<br />

performance. The blend of fibers also serves a third purpose; some fibers wick<br />

moisture, others spread the moisture creating a larger area for evaporation to keep<br />

the wearer dry. It is also important to note that 2nd Skin has excellent static electric<br />

decay capabilities.<br />

American Denim 281 is made from U.S. materials using U.S. labor. More than 281<br />

U.S. manufacturing jobs are directly effected by the production of these <strong>FR</strong> jeans.<br />

We are proud to put both our name and our flag on this exceptional <strong>FR</strong> product.<br />

American Denim 281 is the finest <strong>FR</strong> jean available representing American<br />

craftsmanship and ingenuity. The denim is a unique blend of flame resistant fibers<br />

and high quality ring-spun cotton yarns. The fabric has the same premium quality<br />

of high-end jeans found in department stores. Investing a little more for higher<br />

quality is worth it, especially because American Denim 281 does not shrink, is prewashed<br />

for comfort, and is guaranteed to last.<br />

Your Favorite “Hoodie”<br />

Hooded Sweatshirt<br />

The Hooded Sweatshirt is constructed like your favorite ‘hoodie’ with a generous fit, two<br />

hand warmers, and a three-piece lined drawstring hood. The <strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> symbol is<br />

noticeably located on the wearer’s left wrist for easy identification. The inner face of our knit<br />

fabric is fleeced, which holds body heat and insulates from the cold. Wear the sweatshirt as<br />

part of a layering system for greater insulation.<br />

3025<strong>FR</strong> will<br />

replace # 3024<strong>FR</strong><br />

when made in the<br />

U.S.A. Fall 2012<br />

We re-engineered the fleece fabric to have a minimal amount of<br />

shrinkage (less than 4%) , excellent colorfastness, and increased tensile<br />

strength. The weight was reduced to feel more like a “store bought”<br />

garment. Industrial laundering will not affect the <strong>FR</strong> properties of this<br />

product but is not recommended because it may cause premature wear.<br />

Added Protection From Layering.<br />

The Bomber Jacket is lined, rather than insulated, which makes<br />

it ideal for wearing in above freezing temperatures. Multiple<br />

layers of flame resistant material will trap insulating air<br />

and offer a greater thermal performance than a single<br />

heavy layer.<br />

Example: When tested as individual layers the shell<br />

receives an ATPV rating of 13.2 cal/cm 2 and the<br />

lining receives a 6.3 cal/cm 2 . When simply added<br />

together these ratings total 19.5 cal/cm 2 .<br />

When these materials were layered and tested<br />

together the overall system received a 32 cal/cm 2 .<br />

That is more than a 64% increase in the arc thermal<br />

performance value. Below is a graphical representation<br />

of these values.<br />

Neck Rash? Growths?<br />

At <strong>Benchmark</strong>, safety is our highest concern. We realize that companies and<br />

individuals today want to be sure that protective garments not only provide the<br />

required protection, but are also safe to wear. With this goal, we have voluntarily<br />

adopted the most stringent applicable international health codes, monitoring levels<br />

of toxicity and allergens in flame resistant garments.*<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> is unique because our treatment process yields a fabric that is safe<br />

to wear directly against the skin and also non-allergenic. In other brands, direct<br />

contact with the skin or bodily secretions can leach or dissolve textile finishing<br />

products. At <strong>Benchmark</strong>, our core process and technology chemically bonds a<br />

flame retardant to the cotton’s cellulose fiber so that it becomes an integral part of<br />

the cotton’s structure; it is not a simple surface “coating.”<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong>’s <strong>FR</strong> does not contain any heavy metals or halogens. The end result is<br />

a superior flame resistant fiber which will not react with saliva or sweat**, nor pose<br />

any other secondary threat to human health. With regard to bodily contact, there is<br />

virtually no difference between <strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> cotton and untreated cotton.<br />

MEETS INTERNATIONAL<br />

STANDARDS FOR<br />

FORMALDEHYDE<br />

We have recently verified the formaldehyde levels for some of the cotton and cotton/<br />

nylon blended flame resistant fabrics on the market today. When tested according<br />

to AATCC 112 typical samples range from 631 to 900 ppm of free formaldehyde.<br />

Imported fabrics had higher levels than domestic brands. To put this into perspective,<br />

at concentrations of less than 1 ppm in air, formaldehyde can irritate the eyes, may<br />

cause headaches, a burning sensation in the throat, and difficulty breathing, and can<br />

trigger or aggravate asthma symptoms. It is a known carcinogen.<br />

If you believe you have a flame resistant garment which has high levels of<br />

formaldehyde contact us and we will test it for free at an independent lab.<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong>’s fabrics conform to the Oeko-Tex 100 and the Japanese Law 112, which are the most<br />

stringent international standards currently gauging toxicity and formaldehyde content in flame<br />

resistant garments.<br />

In both indirect and direct contact dermatological tests for saliva and sweat interaction performed by<br />

the Food and Drug Research Laboratory, the University of California’s San Francisco Medical Center,<br />

and SGS Laboratories, no evidence of harmful or irritant reactions was shown. These tests conclude<br />

that there is no mutenegenic behavior, no immunotoxicity and no cytotoxicity predicted for users of<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> products.<br />

Match your PPE to the Threat<br />

Quick Code Reference<br />

Four important things to know about flame resistant garments:<br />

1. They will not completely prevent injury; rather they prevent the extent of the injury.<br />

2. <strong>FR</strong> is considered a “secondary” personal protection equipment, just like a hard hat or<br />

steel toe boots, they are a last line of defense.<br />

3. Threats range from temperatures that are 4x the heat required to broil a steak (flash<br />

fire) to electrical threats generating heat with more than 4x the surface temperature of<br />

the sun (arc flash).<br />

4. Properly match your <strong>FR</strong> clothing to the threat. This is where governing codes<br />

offer guidance.<br />

<strong>FR</strong> for Life<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> voluntarily performs tests to measure the char length and flame resistant<br />

properties on <strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> fabric after 200 washes. This is twice the number of washes<br />

required by the most stringent industry testing for industrial flame resistant garments.<br />

Tests are performed by a third-party laboratory. The <strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> fabric was washed and<br />

dried 200 times using a permanent wash cycle, standard detergent, a wash temperature of<br />

120 degrees and a permanent press dry cycle.<br />

The Standard Test Method for Flame Resistance of Textiles (ASTM D6413) is used to measure<br />

the fabric’s properties new and after 200 washes.<br />

The<br />

You Want to Wear<br />

Fit Matters<br />

Fabric Comfort<br />

All <strong>Benchmark</strong> flame resistant garments contain premium natural fibers for increased<br />

protection and comfort. Yarn construction is a critical part of what makes a fabric<br />

feel soft and comfortable to wear. A unique part of our process includes long staple,<br />

combed natural fibers which are formed into ring spun yarns. When woven together<br />

into fabric, ring spun yarns yield durable fabric with a smooth feel. <strong>Benchmark</strong> fabrics<br />

range from 100% <strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> cotton to blends which incorporate modified acrylic,<br />

anti-static and aramid fibers.<br />

Combed Fibers<br />

Our combing process separates up to 80%<br />

of the longer, more desirable fibers from the<br />

shorter fibers, naturally found in raw cotton.<br />

Fit Matters<br />

More than any other singe variable, fit determines the comfort of your flame resistant<br />

garments. Think about it: you could have the thinnest, softest, most natural feeling<br />

material, but if a shirt is two sizes too small it is not comfortable.<br />

When <strong>Benchmark</strong> designs and manufacturers a garment we pay<br />

careful attention to fit. This means our clothing’s fit is based<br />

entirely on what is comfortable to wear and not what is the most<br />

economical to construct.<br />

During an informal survey of safety professionals<br />

almost 9 out of 10 people said that non-compliance with<br />

personal protective equipment is still an issue in their<br />

workplace. Poor wearability was the number one reason<br />

why workers failed to wear PPE. <strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> takes the<br />

excuses away.<br />

42 | benchmark<strong>FR</strong>.com<br />

Ring Spun<br />

Once combed the long staple fibers are<br />

tightly twisted together which results<br />

in a strong, cable-like yarn. Ring spun<br />

yarns ultimately yield a smoother, more<br />

durable fabric.<br />

Blended<br />

Depending on the desired thermal<br />

protection and comfort we will design<br />

and construct a fabric with both natural<br />

and inherently <strong>FR</strong> fibers. All materials<br />

are blended so the fabric properties are<br />

consistent and retain the desired properties<br />

of natural materials.<br />

When exposed to an ignition source such as flames, severe heat or an electric arc,<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> fabrics will react to protect the wearer by self-extinguishing within<br />

moments after the ignition source has been removed. It is this rapid reaction that<br />

can save the wearer’s life and limit the extent of an injury. <strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> fabrics will<br />

not melt or drip in the presence of heat. If our simple care instructions are followed<br />

the flame resistant properties will remain effective for the life of the garment,<br />

regardless of the number of washing and wearing cycles. See page 45 for complete<br />

care instructions.<br />

“<br />

…our clothing’s fit is based entirely on<br />

what is comfortable to wear…”<br />

Our Advantage<br />

With the exception of one patented product,<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> only designs and manufactures flame<br />

resistant products for the industrial market. We<br />

are committed to keeping our end users safe and<br />

comfortable which is why our clothing’s fit is based<br />

entirely on what is comfortable to wear, and not what<br />

is the most economical to construct. We take pride in<br />

the fact that our garments have style, fit generously,<br />

feel softer and wear more comfortably than other<br />

flame resistant garments on the market.<br />

The Comparison<br />

In a comparison between a <strong>Benchmark</strong> Long Sleeve<br />

Shirt ( # 1004<strong>FR</strong>) versus a similar button-up style shirt<br />

from a leading flame resistant brand, we found<br />

many areas where the other brands’ fit was smaller.<br />

See illustration.<br />

Fabric is the single most expensive cost in<br />

manufacturing a flame resistant garment. Many<br />

manufacturers try to remain competitive by changing<br />

the fit of their garment so they use less material. This<br />

often results in a poor fitting garment.<br />

Add Ons<br />

Simple Care<br />

44 | benchmark<strong>FR</strong>.com<br />

Embroidery<br />

Choose from a wide variety<br />

of thread colors and have<br />

your company logo and/or<br />

name directly embroidered<br />

onto almost any <strong>Benchmark</strong><br />

garment. Large embroideries are not<br />

permitted by code. Embroideries should be<br />

no larger than the size of a business card. No<br />

minimum quantity.<br />

Patches<br />

We can quickly make logos,<br />

name and flag patches<br />

and sew them onto your<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> garment. Patches<br />

are a more economical way to<br />

brand your clothing. There are no minimums<br />

for “sublimation” patches or embroidered<br />

name patches. Flag (other than the American<br />

Flag) and embroidered logo’s require a 45<br />

piece minimum.<br />

Screen Print<br />

Full color, high resolution<br />

images can be applied to<br />

the back of a garment and/<br />

or above the chest pockets.<br />

Screen prints will remain<br />

vibrant if home laundered or dry cleaned.<br />

Industrial laundering is not advisable for screen<br />

printed garments. Twelve piece minimum.<br />

Reflective Transfers<br />

Silver reflective transfers, in<br />

the form of letters or some<br />

logos, can be applied to the<br />

back of your garment. Stock<br />

letters are either three or four<br />

inches tall. Reflective heat transfers remain<br />

vibrant when home laundered but are not<br />

recommended for industrial laundering. No<br />

minimum requirement.<br />

Leg Zippers<br />

Leg zippers can be added<br />

to all coverall styles. We use<br />

12” flame resistant tape,<br />

hi-temperature and nonsparking<br />

zippers.<br />

Custom Sizes<br />

We have the ability to make<br />

custom sized garments. The<br />

best way to ensure you have<br />

a custom garment that fits<br />

perfectly is to supply us with<br />

a similar garment that already fits well. We will<br />

use its dimensions to create a custom, code<br />

compliant flame resistant garment. Three<br />

piece minimum, lead times may vary.<br />

Adjustable Inseam<br />

or Hem<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> coveralls come<br />

standard with an innovative<br />

inseam system or we can<br />

permanently hem them to<br />

length at no additional cost. No minimums.<br />

Disabled<br />

American Veteran<br />

If you are a physically<br />

Disabled American Veteran<br />

and require a garments to<br />

be altered <strong>Benchmark</strong> will<br />

perform this service and supply the necessary<br />

materials free of charge. For example, a veteran<br />

may require a leg zipper to accommodate a<br />

prosthetic limb.<br />

Safety<br />

Reflective Striping<br />

Two inch wide flame<br />

resistant reflective striping<br />

can be added to almost any<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> style. Choose<br />

silver or yellow / silver /<br />

yellow striping in a variety<br />

of placements. See page<br />

12-13 for a complete list of<br />

available placement options.<br />

No minimums.<br />

As a policy <strong>Benchmark</strong> will not change or make<br />

additions to a garment in such a way that it will<br />

make the garment unsafe. This includes but is<br />

not limited to large embroideries or patches,<br />

flammable reflective tapes or altering a<br />

garment in any way that permanently exposes<br />

the arms or legs.<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> garments will remain flame resistant for the life of the garment<br />

provided they are cared for properly. Our wash instructions are simple and mostly<br />

require that you leave out extra chemicals during the laundering process.<br />

Important<br />

• Remove and clean clothing if soiled with<br />

contaminants or flammable material. All<br />

materials influencing flammability must be<br />

completely washed off the garment.<br />

Option A: Home Wash<br />

This is the preferred method for cleaning your<br />

flame resistant garments because even the most<br />

vigorous home wash will keep your garments<br />

looking better than an industrial wash service.<br />

This is because there are less garments being<br />

washed at once; hence less abrasion.<br />

Do:<br />

• Set washing machine on cotton cycle.<br />

• Warm or normal temperature setting<br />

(140° F)<br />

• Laundry detergent (i.e: Tide ® or All ® )<br />

• Tumble dry medium heat.<br />

Don’t:<br />

• Do not use bleach whether separate or<br />

contained within the detergent.<br />

• Do not use hydrogen peroxide or<br />

oxygenating agents (Oxy Clean ® ).<br />

• Do not use lye based, or home<br />

made soaps.<br />

• Do not use fabric softeners.<br />

• Do not use starch.<br />

Option B: Dry Cleaning<br />

While all <strong>Benchmark</strong> products can be dry<br />

cleaned, it is the favored method for washing<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> insulated garments such as parka’s<br />

and bibs.<br />

• The dry cleaning solvents should be clean.<br />

• Solvent systems are safe.<br />

• Solvent systems charged with water and<br />

detergents are safe.<br />

• Wash <strong>Benchmark</strong> garments once every<br />

six months regardless of use, to remove<br />

soiling and to maintain peak flame<br />

resistant properties. (ASTM F2757 &<br />

ASTM F1449)<br />

Option C: The Industrial or<br />

Commercial Wash<br />

You must notify your laundry service that they<br />

are washing a flame resistant product. Flame<br />

resistant garments are designed to react to<br />

heat and it is important the laundry service<br />

knows to follow the wash instructions which<br />

are embroidered/sewn inside the back of every<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> garment.<br />

• Wash soiled <strong>Benchmark</strong> flame resistant<br />

garments separately. Flush, break, carry<br />

over and rinse with water not exceeding<br />

165° Fahrenheit.<br />

• Lower temperatures for lightly soiled<br />

garments are recommended for increased<br />

garment life and maximum color retention.<br />

• Adequately rinse garments to remove<br />

detergents and residues.<br />

• Garments should have a pH of 7 or should<br />

be slightly alkaline.<br />

• Do not use sour or acid rinsing agents as<br />

last step.<br />

• Adequate rinsing to achieve dilution<br />

and a neutral to slightly alkaline pH should<br />

be used.<br />

• Do not use bleach whether separate or<br />

contained within the detergent.<br />

• Do not use lye based, tallow or homemade<br />

soaps.<br />

• <strong>Benchmark</strong> <strong>FR</strong> garments can be dried using<br />

typical methods for cotton, however avoid<br />

over-drying.<br />

• Typical cotton pressing techniques can be<br />

used, however avoid finishing and pressing<br />

with open steam.<br />

• Do not use starch.<br />

How to Measure Your Body<br />

Height<br />

Standing straight against a<br />

wall (without footwear) mark<br />

the wall at the top of your<br />

head. Measure from that<br />

point down to the floor.<br />

Chest<br />

From a standing position,<br />

measure the circumference of<br />

your upper body at the fullest<br />

part of your chest, typically<br />

just under the arm pit.<br />

Waist<br />

The easiest way is to look<br />

at the tag in the pants you<br />

are wearing right now.<br />

Alternatively, you can<br />

measure around your natural<br />

waist where your pants sit<br />

most comfortably.<br />

Sleeve<br />

Bend your elbow as shown.<br />

Start at the center-back<br />

of your neck and measure<br />

across the shoulder, around<br />

the elbow, and to your wrist.<br />

Inseam<br />

Remove your shoes and<br />

measure from your crotch to<br />

your ankle.<br />

CAUTION: With the exception of product 3002 (Hard Hat Liner - non <strong>FR</strong>) all garments in this catalog are constructed from flame<br />

resistant fabrics which will resist ignition and will not continue to burn when the ignition source is removed. These garments are<br />

designed for continuous wear as secondary personal protection equipment and meet the requirements of NFPA 70e, ASTM 1506<br />

and OSHA 1910.269. These garments are not intended to protect the wearer from physical trauma or burns in the immediate areas<br />

of ignition. When worn alone these garments are not intended for fire entry. Remove garment if soiled with flammable material.<br />

<strong>Benchmark</strong> flame resistant garments must be correctly matched to the risk or threat the wearer may encounter. <strong>Benchmark</strong> flame<br />

resistant garments will remain flame resistant for the life of the garment, provided they are cared for properly. See page 45 for<br />
