- April 28, 2025

In the high-risk environments of welding booths, oilfields, refineries, and pipeline projects, safety is not just a priority—it is a necessity. For America’s blue-collar workforce, choosing the right protective clothing can be the difference between a minor incident and a life-altering injury. At the forefront of industrial safety apparel stands Nexon Fire Resistant (FR) Clothing, a brand trusted by welders, pipe-fitters, and oilfield workers across the nation. This article delves into why Nexon has become the go-to name for those who build, weld, and power our world.

Common Hazards in the Field:

  • Flash fires from flammable gases

  • Electrical arc flashes during welding operations

  • Contact with hot surfaces or molten splatter

  • Explosive environments in refineries and pipeline installations
