JM Test Systems can inspect, clean, and repair any brand of arc flash protection suits. JM is also a stocking distributor for all Salisbury by Honeywell equipment. This includes a full line of arc flash suit supplies, hot sticks, gloves, and other electrical safety items.
Salisbury only uses Westex fabrics for their PRO-WEAR™ brand of clothing. These suits last over 50% longer than the 100% cotton garments. This is due to The Westex Indura Ultra Soft® blend of materials. The softer feel enhances the breathable “all-weather” comfort of cotton. The treatment process for Indura flame resistant fabrics forms a long chain flame retardant polymer. This is within the core of each cotton fiber. Salisbury guarantees flame resistant for the life of the garment.
When it comes to your safety, quality is not compromised. That’s why Salisbury is now also leading the industry in arc flash protection. The PRO-WEAR™ line includes clothing and other PPE from 8cal/cm² to 100cal/cm². NFPA 70E standards extend to the 40 cal arc flash suit. Flash protective items are available individually or in arc flash suit kits. Make JM Test and Salisbury your one stop manufacturer of arc flash safety products. We offer a complete solution for your electrical hazards. Products include face shields, insulated rubber gloves, insulated tools, grounding equipment, voltage detectors, and more. Products comply with ASTM 1506 requirements, OSHA regulations and NFPA 70E standards. The Salisbury PRO-HOODS™ meet ASTM F2178 and flammability requirements of ASTM 1506.
