In Minnesota bug spray is almost a must during late summer months, although i only use it on exposed skin to save on FR clothing

Wouldn’t recommend any substance added to clothing used in close proximity to possible arc flashover. Also best to keep body as far as possible from any electrical flashover. Bug bites are minor in comparison.

My husband is a lineman and he wears bugspray most days during the summer…however he never puts it on his clothes because of the FR factor! I love all this info I will make sure to pass it on to him and all the guys he works with. Keep up the good work!

It’s an old adage in the outdoor world that “Cotton Kills”. I guess this is more true than ever.

What about heat transfers on the inside of Arc rated garments. Is thera a risk these will come off with the heat and stick to the layer below?

Thanks Will. I asked because it is a Petroleum based product. It does evaporate within seconds, is not supposed to leave residue and is gentle enough to be permitted in Medical products.
We are a contract sewing outfit and know sewing well but the intricacies of FR fabrics are relatively new to us so your blog and other info are very useful. Thanks again,

Good Question Jorge.
Spot treating a stain caused by manufacturing is a common practice.
Although I can not answer for Everblum Gold specifically, these types of chemicals usually evaporate with little residue left on the garment.

However, safe practice is to recommend that users try on garments to ensure proper fit and then wash them prior to wearing. This will make sure that all sewing oils, starches, and other contaminants are removed.
