Omega FR™ is the first outerwear system that combines high visibility worker conspicuity with protection from thermal hazards associated with electric arc and hydrocarbon flash fire. Omega FR™ is designed for today's rugged multi-hazard work environments. The Omega FR™ outer shell system is Omega FR™ Hi Vis and Nomex® IIIA on a PTFE moisture barrier, while an inner layer of Nomex® Jersey Knit provides the wearer with increased thermal protection. 

Omega FR™ excels as a protective barrier because it combines waterproof, breathable and lightweight materials to provide, in a single garment, multi-hazard protection: arc flash (ASTM F1891), flash fire (ASTM F2733), chemical splash (ASTM F903) and breathability/comfort (ASTM E96, ASTM F1868). Omega FR™ offers high visibility, comfort and durability while ensuring the fabric self-extinguishes, preventing ignition in harsh, high-risk industrial environments.

APPLICATION: Well Servicing, Drilling Rig Operations, SAGD, Heavy Oil, Oil Refining and Processing, Oil Refinery Contractors, Pipeline Construction and Maintenance, Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling, Gas and Oil Extraction 

Outer Shell: Omega FR™ / Nomex® IIIA

Omega FR™ is a high-performance, waterproof and breathable protective outerwear fabric specifically engineered to protect against multiple hazards simultaneously, including arc flash, flash fire, chemical splash and steam/hot liquid hazards. It is primarily used in rugged work environments and usually incorporates Nomex® fibre technology to ensure the fabric is flame resistant and self-extinguishing. The fabric is designed to not support combustion in air and when exposed to flames it self-extinguishes to minimise burn injuries and limit the flame spread. The blend acts as a barrier against thermal hazards, reducing the rate of heat transfer from conduction, convention and radiation to the wearer's skin, thereby delaying the onset of burns. 

Inner Layer: Nomex® Jersey Knit

Nomex® Jersey Knit is a specialised, inherently flame resistant fabric that combines the protective properties of Nomex® aramid fibres with the comfort, flexibility and stretch of a knitted construction. It works through a combination of inherent meta-aramid chemistry (for heat resistance) and a knitted structure (for comfort, breathability and stretch). Nomex® knitted fabric provides permanent flame resistance that does not melt or drip, creating a protective char barrier and dissipating heat while offering flexibility for demanding tasks.

Moisture Barrier: PTFE

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) provides a high-performance, hydrophobic and extremely chemically inert shield that prevents water intrusion while allowing breathability, making it an ideal protective coating. It has a high melting point and low friction. Fabrics are typically engineered by coating or blending PTFE with other high-performance fibres, such as Nomex® and Kevlar® aramids to create protective workwear for demanding industrial environments, including electrical arc flash hazards.
