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 />

**<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 />

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 />

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 />
