CLEANROOM FLAME RESISTANT GARMENTS

Vidaro Corporation has manufactured garments made from Chemstat 919® for NASA and the Aerospace Industry for many years. Chemstat 919® is inherently flame resistant, static dissipative and cleanroom compatible meeting safety concerns in areas where static electricity is a potential hazard and where volatile fuel may exist. Chemstat 919® meets the safety requirements of the NFPA 70e Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements, arc rating at 6.5 cal/cm².

Chemstat 919® may be used wherever cleanroom conditions represent a potential flame or electrical hazard, and where concern about explosive or high heat exists.

Chemstat 919® is composed of 100% multifilament Nomex® with a patented conductive grid.
