FR Protective Clothing
Why FR Clothing?
The most severe burns are often not caused by the original hazard, but rather are the secondary result of clothing igniting.
FR clothing not only increases the chances of survival, but can significantly enhance the quality of life after the accident.

Way Forward…
Prospects – Global Markets
• Exact Assessment of total requirement of Protective Clothing is not available• Oil & gas industry is the largest industry user• Oil installations are spread all over the globe and new findings are reported every now and then
• Due to High production cost of the fabric and garments in the developed countries, manufacturing is shifting east wards. • India has the potential to become a hub for the manufacturing of the FR textiles and the protective clothing
Prospects – Indian Market
• Poor basic safety consciousness• 20 years back the seed of FR clothing was sown in India but it is still in the nascent stage• Though there are some standards in India but there are no regulations or guidelines for proper implementations
• Market Potential is BIG•As per ICRA Report: Total estimated demand for the FR protective clothing was 1.16 million pcs for the year 2012-13, with an estimated value of INR. 104.00 crore.
Oil Industry
• Like in the global market this is the most potential industry.
• Total workers directly working in the large O&G / E&P Co’s1,50,000 + employees
• Total contract workers in the industry:5,00,000 (including multinationals and smaller companies)
Defense and paramilitary forces
• Defense and paramilitary forces is another large segment.
• Army, Navy, Air Force: 15,00,000• At 20% the no. of people exposed to
risk of fire: 3,00,000• Paramilitary forces: 22,88,000
(including NSG, BSF, ITBP, Assam Riffles, CRPF, RAF, SFF-Special Frontier Force, Indian Coast guard etc)
• At 20% the no. of people exposed to the risk of fire : 4,57,600
Molten Metal Splash
• Total no of workers in large Steel & Aluminum plants: 1,00,000 working in and around hot metal activities.

Role of Indian Technical Textile Association
• The Indian Technical Textile Association (ITTA) is an industry think-tank that facilitates the usage and production of technical textiles in India, helping the industry grow internally and become a key player in the international market.
• Given that the Government policy has to play a critical role in the advancement of technical textiles, ITTA is expected to maintain close interaction with the Government in formulating a national technical textiles policy. The policy needs to focus on removing the ambiguities in the system that are hampering the growth of the sector, help bring legislation that will help spur usage in India and will assist the industry in achieving its true potential.
Role of Indian Technical Textile Association • The main objective is to promote, support, develop and increase
production, consumption and export of technical textiles. To make India a power-house of technical textiles in the days to come.
• ITTA aims to become a premier organization for representing the industry’s interests and for creating a policy that assembles and addresses the concerns of the stake-holders in the technical textile sector. The Association is expected to become an ideal forum for overseas and domestic companies to explore the vast potential available for JVs, strategic and marketing alliances, joint product development, etc., by organizing business meets with delegates from different countries.
