MAINTENANCE & CARE

Below we will list the important points to take into account so that your structural equipment correctly retains its protective properties and its durability are not diminished.

A structural equipment must be washed at least every six months and as soon as possible after contamination or exposure to smoke, blood or body fluid, or hazardous substances. There are many components in clothing that will not work if you dry your garment clean.

To clean the equipment use commercially available cleaners with a PH greater than 6.0 and less than 10.5. Do not use bleach bleach.

USE OF WASHING MACHINE

To enter your garment into the washing machine, separate the outer fabric from the inner layer and wash the inner layer and the outer fabric separately to avoid the passage of a dirt from one component to the other. Turn the garment inside out or place it in a large bag specially designed for laundry so as not to damage the washing machine drum. Use a front load laundry with a washing and drying action. The washing temperature can be up to 60º C.

To perform the drying remove the garment from the washing machine and turn inside out to expose the internal surface. Dry it by hanging it in shadow. Do not use automatic dryers.

WASHING BY HAND THROUGH SCRUBBING FOR STRUCTURAL EQUIPMENT IS NOT RECOMMENDED. IF THERE WERE NO OTHER WAY, PREFERABLE DO NOT WASH IT.

INTERNAL BARRIER INSPECTION SYSTEM

The user has to be sure that his suit is in optimal conditions to protect him in the heat of the fire. But you also have to be able to know if the manufacturer is providing you with the components indicated on the internal label of the product.

In the new RASA structural suits, we developed a system of inspection of the internal protection barrier, which by hook and loop enclosure that allows the firefighter to see at all times that both the moisture and thermal barriers are in good condition or need to be repaired or replaced. This inspection system is found in both the trousers and the sack.

How to detect valid certifications
