“…Hoagland and Morrow 24 found that compared with conventional meta-aramid fabrics, neoprene/metaaramid fabrics and PVC/meta-aramid/para-aramid blended fabrics have better arc protective performance, but their costs have also increased. In addition, Hoagland et al 25 studied the effects of industry contaminants, including diesel fuel, dry lime, nickel dust, palladium dust, sodium hydroxide slurry, carbon black dust, dry and wet cement, a flocculent slime, hydraulic fluid, and transformer oil on the performance of electric arc clothing. The results showed that wet pollution would reduce the protective performance of arc protection FR clothing, while dry pollution had little effect.…”
