The PIP 202-110 is a single-layer Nomex balaclava with a bib designed to provide flame-resistant head and face coverage for workers in high-heat or exposure environments. Made from 100% Nomex, it delivers inherent flame resistance that does not wash out, offering durable protection that remains effective through repeated use and laundering. The bib configuration features a 6-inch single-layer front and back, contributing additional coverage and protection for the neck and lower face without bulky bulk. This balance of protection and flexibility is intended to help keep heat-exposed personnel protected during demanding tasks while maintaining comfortable wear under protective gear.
Nomex fibers carbonize and thicken when exposed to intense heat, forming a protective barrier between the skin and heat sources. This property can translate to valuable seconds of extra protection during fire or high-temperature events, alongside the fabric’s overall durability. The garment is described as meeting OSHA flame-resistance expectations, aligning with common safety program requirements for flame-retardant apparel. The one-size-fits-most design is intended to accommodate a range of head sizes, simplifying inventory and fit considerations in busy work environments.
Typical use cases include chemical plants, metal and glass manufacturing, natural gas production and distribution, and law enforcement, where workers may encounter heat, sparks, and potential splash from chemicals. The product is provided in white and is sold as an individual item, with packaging details indicating a case quantity of 12 per case. Maintenance considerations center on routine laundering of Nomex garments per workplace protocols, with the understanding that the nominal flame resistance is an inherent property of the Nomex fabric and not a result of a surface finish that can be washed away.
