RESEARCH TO EVALUATE THE FLAMMABILITY OF FABRICS USED TO MAKE WORKWEAR FOR STUDENTS IN WELDING TECHNOLOGY AT HUNG YEN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION

Abstract

Workwear is a really necessary garment to ensure the health and safety of the wearer. Not only workers in the industry need workwear, but also technical students need very much. Workwear for students of welding technology requires both the ability to limit fire and ensure comfort and safety during use. In this study, the research team tested and evaluated on two fabrics Khaki (Workwear 1) and Denim (Workwear 1) on three factors: textile composition and style of weaving, fire resistance, and product testing to find out the optimal fabric to sew workwear for the welding industry. Component of denim is with 95 % Co, 5 % Pu not only has the ability to stretch to create good comfort, but the ability to limit fire in both vertical and horizontal directions is also much higher than khaki fabric. Workwear is made from the above two fabrics that are also designed and tested to meet safety and comfort requirements. As a result, Denim fabric was selected to make welding workwear more suitable than khaki fabric.
