Your safety gear is your first line of defense when you’re on the job, especially in industries like welding, foundries, or metal processing. At NASCO Industries, we know how critical it is to have protective clothing that does more than just the bare minimum. That’s why understanding the ASTM F955-15 standard for flame-resistant rainwear is not just a technical detail—it’s essential for your safety.


What is ASTM F955-15?

The ASTM F955-15 standard is a rigorous set of guidelines that ensures flame-resistant rainwear can effectively protect you against molten metal splashes—a common hazard in many industrial settings. This standard tests rainwear to make sure it:

  • Resists molten metal from sticking and burning through the fabric.
  • Maintains its integrity, avoiding tears or breaks that could expose you to danger.
  • It prevents the heat from molten metal from reaching your skin and causing burns.

In essence, ASTM F955-15 certified rainwear isn’t just flame resistant; it’s a robust shield against one of the most intense hazards in metalworking environments.

Why is This Standard Important for You?

Your safety gear is critical. Imagine working with molten metals that are heated to incredibly high temperatures. Now, think of a situation where a splash of this metal could come into contact with your protective clothing. The right gear compliant with ASTM F955-15 will prevent this molten metal from sticking to your rainwear, burning through, and reaching your skin.

This standard is not about compliance alone—it’s about your peace of mind on the job. Knowing that your gear meets high safety standards lets you focus on your work confidently, knowing you are protected against unforeseen accidents.
