CoTradeCo knows you need the best, most comfortable flame resistant clothing, and you need it now. We are proud to showcase Benchmark FR the leader in fire and arc flash protection with it’s superior line of inherently flame resistant shirts, pants, coveralls, jackets, and more made from Benchmark FR’s unique ring-spun cotton.
Authentic
We don’t sell our fabric because the cost of the end product would be prohibitively expensive. Instead we use our process on authentic Benchmark FR products. So there will never be someone else out there selling you something similar, if it’s doesn’t have our “BENCHMARK” logo on it then it’s not an authentic Benchmark product.
Commitment
We feel that being a vertical manufacturer shows a commitment to both the market and products. Most of our competitors are known as “cut & sew” manufacturers because they simply purchase treated material from a mill and cut and sew the fabric into garments. As a result cut & sew manufacturers are forced to minimize fabric usage which compromises fit and construction. Simply stated, cut & sew manufacturing does not lend itself to innovation or product quality.

ARC FLASH: An arc flash is a short circuit through the air. The temperature of an arc is the hottest naturally occurring source of heat on the planet, with temperatures reaching more than 35,000° F. An enormous amount of radiant energy explodes outward from the electrical arcs, spreading hot gases, melting metal, causing severe radiation burns, ignition of flammable materials and creating pressure waves which can send pieces of equipment, tools, and other objects flying thus injuring anyone standing nearby.
FLASH FIRE: The primary threat to oil, petrochemical and mine workers is flash fire. According to the National Fire Protection Association and the Canadian General Standards Board, a flash fire typically lasts just three seconds or less.
Defined by CGSB 155.20-2000 and NFPA 2113 as: “A rapidly moving flame front which can be a combustion explosion. Flash fire may occur in an environment where fuel and air become mixed in adequate concentrations to combust…flash fire has a heat flux of approximately 84 kW/m² for relatively short periods of time, typically less than 3 seconds.”
Imagine a three second flash fire, in which your face and possibly your hands have received severe burns. There may have been an explosion which had the ability to render you unconscious. Hopefully you are wearing flame resistant garments and your clothes have both resisted ignition and self extinguished. Your chances of survival depend directly on the percentage of the total burned surface area of you body. Benchmark FR garments self extinguish, reduce the extent of an injury and give the workers a few extra seconds of escape time.
