NFPA 1991 Certified Apparel for Chemical Flash-Fire Protection.
Frontline 500 offers proven three-way protection - broad chemical
holdout, plus flame resistance and radiant heat protection for
additional hazards encountered in a chemical flash-fire. NFPA
certification includes base plus Optional Flash Fire and Liquefied Gas
requirements. Kappler's single-suit replaces the need for a cumbersome
tow-suit NFPA 1991 configuration. Like many Kappler garments, this is a
'multi-use, single exposure' suit. Frontline 500 provides excellent
holdout for the ASTM F1001 battery and many additional chemicals.
To ensure optimal radiant heat protection, Kappler's focus on user
survivability included Pyroman Thermal Manikin testing in addition to
the NFPA 1991 chemical Flash Fire Option. Pyroman results for Frontline
500 indicated 0% body burn - a huge confidence factor when facing a
chemical flash situation.
