In the event of a flash fire or industrial fire, time matters. Mere seconds can mean the difference between a worker suffering a severe burn injury or no burn injury at all; in extreme conditions, these seconds could mean the difference between life and death.
Thermal Protective Performance, or TPP, is a simple way to measure how many seconds of heat protection your personal protective equipment (PPE) provides in a controlled test environment. The TPP rating is particularly significant for workers who confront the threat of flash fire exposure every day.
