This study aims to understand the different properties that reflective materials, compared to standard firefighter outer layers, have against radiative heat flux. The textiles of firefighter turnout gear and the reflective textiles used in the smelting industry have been examined when exposed to varying levels of radiant heat in a cone calorimeter. READ MORE
