Every part is FR
Seams are sewn with 100% Nomex FR thread, zips are brass or FR types and buttons are melamine. No part of the garment melts, so protection holds right up to the collar and cuffs.
Custom Flame-Resistant Workwear Manufacturer

If your people work near fuel vapour, live electrical gear or hot processes, their clothing is part of their protection. Benjima makes flame-resistant workwear for oil and gas operators, offshore contractors, refineries, utilities and safety distributors, so a flash fire or arc flash does not turn a shirt into a second hazard.
We make FR coveralls, work shirts, trousers, hoodies, insulated jackets, bib overalls, base layers and hoods. Garments meet NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506 and EN ISO 11612, and in a thermal event the fabric will not ignite, melt or drip. One merchandiser handles your order, your lab reports and your approvals.
The tricky part of FR clothing is that every small part counts. Thread, zips, buttons and logos must all be flame resistant too, or the garment fails where you least expect. We build every piece with that in mind, and we show you the proof.
Custom flame-resistant samples certified before bulk production
Every FR order starts with a pre-production sample made in your chosen fabric, weight and arc rating, and it reaches you within 7 to 10 business days. Your safety team can check the fit over other layers, the pockets, the closures and the labels before anything is cut in volume.
Changes happen on the sample, not on finished stock. Once you approve it, bulk is made to match, and each lot arrives with independent lab reports for char length, vertical flammability and arc thermal performance, ready for your auditors to file without extra requests from your side.
See how FR garments are cut and sewn
The video walks through an FR order from fabric inspection to packing: cutting aramid and treated cotton, sewing with flame-resistant thread, fitting brass zips and checking every seam. Your order follows the same path, and we send photos at each stage so you always know where things stand without asking for an update.
Share it with your safety manager or procurement team before you order. Seeing how trims and thread are chosen helps everyone agree on what matters most for your sites, whether that is a lighter fabric for hot climates, a higher arc rating for switchgear work or extra covered pockets for gas monitors, radios and permits that have to stay dry and safe.
Rather talk it over first? Send us your hazard assessment and we will suggest suitable fabrics, weights and arc ratings on a short call.
Why energy firms order FR from us
Proper certification, lab reports with every lot and a merchandiser who understands how FR fabric behaves.
Paperwork in order
Each lot ships with third-party lab documents on char length, flammability and arc performance, so your auditors and safety managers get what they need for their files without having to ask twice.
Fits for every body type
Sizes run from 36 to 62 in regular and tall, so larger and taller operators get a proper fit rather than rolled sleeves, short hems and gaps at the wrist.
Start with 50 sets
Pilot a new FR line with 50 sets per style, mixing sizes across departments. Monthly output above 35,000 units means the same approved pattern can then equip every rig and plant you run.
Protection that never washes out of it
Inherently FR fabrics such as Nomex IIIA carry their flame resistance in the fibre itself, so it cannot wash or wear out over the life of the garment. A built-in carbon grid also bleeds off static, which matters wherever fuel vapour or gas is around the work area.
Treated cotton-nylon blends give long-lasting protection with a softer feel and a lower price. We explain the trade-offs honestly, so you choose with your budget, your climate and your real risks all in view before you order.

Certified flame-resistant workwear branded for critical safety compliance
Distributors and large operators often want FR clothing under their own name. The catch is that ordinary polyester embroidery can melt, which defeats the purpose of the garment. We never use it. Logos are stitched in 100% aramid thread or applied as FR reflective emblems, and each branding part is tested.
We add exterior NFPA 2112 and CAT rating badges so the protection level is clear at a glance on site. Custom FR woven labels, care tags and hangtags finish the garment, and every piece goes into a sealed polybag with a barcode for easy stock control.
Because your approved fabric and pattern stay on file, reorders match earlier deliveries across every rig and plant. A distributor looking for an electrical safety apparel manufacturer can sell certified goods under their own brand, with the test documents to back every claim made to their customers.
How do you choose the right FR workwear for sites?
Choosing FR clothing starts with your hazard assessment, not a catalogue. Settle three things before you order: the hazard you are protecting against, the fabric your crews will tolerate in their climate, and the details that keep the garment safe in use.
Flash fire or arc
Flash fire risk, common in oil, gas and chemical plants, points to NFPA 2112 garments. Electrical arc risk points to NFPA 70E, with ratings from CAT 2 at 8 cal up to CAT 4 at 40 cal. Many sites face both, and one garment can cover both.
- Choose NFPA 2112 coveralls for refinery, drilling and gas plant crews.
- Choose CAT 2 shirts for routine electrical maintenance work.
- Choose CAT 4 layers for switchgear and higher-energy tasks your hazard review identifies.
Weight and climate
Lighter fabrics from 6.5 to 9.0 oz protect without causing heat stress, which matters in hot climates. Standard weights are 6.0, 7.0 and 9.0 oz. Nomex IIIA suits hot regions, while cotton-nylon suits buyers wanting softness and value.
An FR garment is only as safe as its thread, its zip and its logo. Check them all.
Details that matter
Brass zips sit behind an FR storm flap with hidden snaps, so no hot metal touches skin. Snap cuffs seal over gloves, and heavy bar-tacks keep stress points intact on ladders and rigging. Your sample shows every one of these details, so your team can test them before the bulk order begins.
Inside an FR production run
Watch flame-resistant garments made, sewn with FR thread and checked before packing.
Comfort that keeps FR clothing on crews
Protective clothing only works if people keep it on through the whole shift. These four points help your crews do exactly that.
Reach without riding up
A deep bi-swing pleated back lets workers reach overhead while the hem stays tucked in and the coverage stays where it belongs.
Light enough for hot sites
Lighter FR weights give thermal protection without the heat stress that makes workers unzip, roll sleeves or leave layers off.
Pockets that work
Covered chest pockets hold permits and gas monitors, and a tool slot keeps pens and torches handy.
Built for abuse
Aramid thread and heavy bar-tacks keep seams together on ladders, rigging and offshore decks, where garments get dragged, snagged and scraped.
FR workwear for every team on your site
One supplier for the full FR wardrobe, so ratings, colours and labels stay consistent from base layer to outer coat.

Frequently asked questions
Which industry standards do your flame-resistant garments meet?
Our FR apparel complies with NFPA 2112 for flash fire, NFPA 70E for electrical arc flash at CAT 2, 3 and 4, ASTM F1506, and EN ISO 11612 for heat and flame protection. Tell us which hazards your crews face and we will match each garment to the right standard and rating, so nothing is over or under specified.
What is the difference between inherently FR and treated?
Inherently FR fabrics such as Nomex IIIA have flame resistance built into the fibre, so it never washes out. Treated fabrics such as 88/12 cotton-nylon use a chemical treatment for durable protection with a softer feel. We make both and explain which fits your crews.
What is the starting MOQ for custom FR workwear orders?
Our starting MOQ is 50 sets per style. That lets oil and gas operators, utilities and distributors order certified FR clothing without tying up too much cash. Sizes can be mixed within the order, so one pilot can cover a whole department.
How long does a custom FR production run take?
Pre-production lab samples are ready in 7 to 10 business days. Bulk production takes 18 to 25 business days once you approve the sample and confirm the deposit. You get dates for each stage up front, and photos as production moves along.
Do you send lab test documents with shipments?
Yes. Every production batch comes with independent lab reports covering vertical flammability to ASTM D6413, char length, arc thermal performance values and thermal shrinkage. The reports are kept with your order file by your merchandiser, so you can hand them straight to auditors or customers whenever they ask for proof.
Are the thread, buttons and zips FR?
Yes. We use only 100% Nomex heat-resistant sewing thread, melamine flame-resistant buttons and heavy-duty brass or FR-certified zips. That removes the risk of any part melting onto the skin, which is where cheaper FR garments often let workers down.
Can we add logos and names to FR garments?
Yes. Logos and name embroidery are stitched in 100% flame-resistant aramid thread, and we offer certified FR reflective emblems too. Each branding part is tested so it does not weaken the garment. Your sample shows the finished branding before bulk, so placement is agreed in advance.
How do you handle overseas delivery and customs?
We ship door to door on DDP terms by air courier or ocean container, and we take care of export documents, customs clearance and duties. Urgent orders fly, while larger rig and plant rollouts usually go by sea at a lower cost per set.
