Every shift brings challenges that demand more than ordinary gear. Oil and gas workers manage steam pipelines where flash fire and arc flash hazards are part of the job. In these environments, protective outerwear is not optional. It is what stands between you and a life-changing injury.
For decades, rainwear provided a shield against the weather but left workers vulnerable to steam and other hidden hazards. At NASCO, we knew the industry needed a breakthrough, and that is why we developed PetroStorm, the next generation of FR rainwear. PetroStorm provides steam hazard protection, flame resistance, and arc flash defense in one lightweight, American-made design.
The future of FR protection has arrived, and we built it for you.
Why Steam Protection Matters for Workers
Steam hazards are an invisible threat many crews face daily. In refineries, gas plants, and chemical plants, steam and hot liquids under pressure can escape without warning. A sudden burst can cause severe burns, reduce visibility, and put teams at risk. Flame and arc flash protection have long been essential, but steam hazard protection has often been missing from gear.
Workers across industries told us steam and hot liquids are serious risks. Traditional FR gear was never designed with steam resistance in mind, leaving a dangerous gap. PetroStorm was created to close that gap and provide reliable, multi-hazard protection.
What is a Steam Protection Raincoat
A steam protection raincoat is outerwear designed not only to keep you dry, but also to resist burn injury from steam and hot liquids while protecting against fire and electrical hazards. It is more than rain gear; it is a barrier against the risks you face every day.
Traditional rainwear kept workers dry but failed to block dangerous steam. FR rainwear added defense against flash fire and arc flash, but still left vulnerabilities. With PetroStorm, that changed. Our steam protection raincoat combines steam hazard protection, flame resistance, and arc flash defense in a single, lightweight jacket.
With one piece of gear, you get complete protection without having to carry multiple garments.
PetroStorm: The Next Generation of FR Protection
PetroStorm was built to change the way you think about protective outerwear. Crews told us traditional gear was too heavy, restricted movement, and made long shifts even harder. We took that feedback seriously. The result is PetroStorm, the lightest multi-hazard outerwear available today, designed to deliver full protection without the weight and fatigue of older gear.
Key advantages of PetroStorm include:
- Flame resistance, arc flash protection, and steam hazard protection combined in one garment
- Lightweight comfort that reduces strain and allows easier movement during long shifts
- Durable construction built for the harshest conditions in utilities, oil, and gas industries
- Proudly made in the United States, backed by over four decades of FR rainwear
- Available as ANSI/ISEA 107 Type O Class 1 High Visibility
PetroStorm sets a new benchmark for FR protection, balancing safety, comfort, and compliance in every detail.
Benefits for Workers and Employers
Workers need gear that delivers safety, comfort, and confidence. PetroStorm provides all three. It keeps crews safe from multiple hazards without sacrificing comfort or mobility. With lighter, more functional gear, workers can focus on the task at hand.
For employers and safety managers, PetroStorm offers measurable value. Multi-hazard protection reduces incidents and lowers the risk of lost time or injury claims. Lightweight, reliable gear improves morale and shows employees their safety is a top priority.
When crews trust the gear they wear, they work more efficiently and with greater confidence. That trust strengthens every operation.
The Future of FR Protection
The future of protective outerwear lies in lightweight, multi-hazard gear that adapts to the wide range of risks crews face. Single-hazard solutions are no longer enough. The next generation of FR gear must deliver flexibility, comfort, and proven safety in one dependable package.
PetroStorm represents that future. It is a step forward for FR rainwear, designed to meet the demands of today’s hazardous work environments. Our mission has always been to protect the people who keep the utility, oil, and gas industries running. With PetroStorm, that mission continues through innovation you can rely on.
Moving Forward with Multi-Hazard Safety
The hazards facing today’s utility, oil, and gas workers are varied and unforgiving. Steam, flame, arc flash, and driving rain all pose serious risks, and outdated gear is no longer enough. PetroStorm gives you the confidence of knowing one garment delivers protection across multiple hazards while remaining light, comfortable, and durable. This is the future of FR protection, built with you in mind and tested for the environments where safety cannot be compromised.
