Who We Are
About ArcFlashWear
Advanced Material Technologies
High-Performance Protection
Stringent Standards Compliance
Modern protective textiles are engineered at the molecular level to either resist ignition entirely or self-extinguish immediately when exposed to electric arc, flash fire or molten metal. Instead of melting and fusing to the skin like standard synthetic materials, these advanced fabrics char and swell - a process that creates a thick, insulating layer to block extreme heat transfer and dramatically reduce second and third-degree body burns.
About ArcFlashWear (Since 2000)
ArcFlashWear stands as a premier Australian specialist provider of advanced Flame Resistant and Arc Rated personal protective equipment. As an authorised provider of top-tier North American brands, AFW delivers market-leading solutions by partnering directly with certified 'Made in the USA' manufacturers. The expansive portfolio ensures rugged, multi-hazard protection against arc flash, flash fire and hot metal and chemical exposures, tailored for high-risk utility, electrical, oil and gas and heavy industry environments. By combining innovative fabric engineering with highly customisable apparel, our solutions provide a permanent, non-degrading last line of defence.

Engineered Technologies
SPECIALISATION THROUGH DEVELOPED EXPERTISE
Our world leading flame resistant and arc rated fabrics represent a pinnacle of technical engineering, designed to shield workers in high-risk environments from extreme thermal hazards. Sophisticated material science has created materials that resist ignition, char and refuse to melt or drip when exposed to extreme heat.
Beyond their foundational life-saving capabilities, our modern, innovative fabrics shatter the old stereotypes of stiff, heavy workwear by offering exceptional breathability and everyday comfort.
Our fabrics regulate body temperature, reducing heat stress through effective moisture management technology that ensures workers remain comfortable all-day long. Our high-performance fabrics actively pull perspiration away from the body and accelerate evaporation, keeping the wearer dry and maintaining the fabric's protective insulation barrier.
