Flame-retardant (FR) caps made from treated cotton are intended to provide limited protection from sparks and light spatter during general welding and cutting work. The fabric is chemically treated to resist ignition, however it is not flameproof and will not protect against molten metal or heavy spatter or direct contact with flame. FR cotton caps are not suitable for heavy fabrication, gouging, or overhead welding where exposure to intense sparks, molten metal, or dross may occur. In higher-risk applications, more substantial protective equipment such as leather welding apparel and appropriate head protection should be used. Users must assess their specific working conditions and select suitable protective equipment accordingly. Proper welding PPE, including helmets, clothing, gloves, and other protective gear, should always be used.
