What dos UA use the word "tactical" in the description if it provide no flame or heat protection? i.e. the "melt" warning...

Military does not encourage use of UA to its soldiers due to this melting problem, yet the EXTREME heat is something a normal person would not have to deal with.

The word "tactical" refers in the description is used because the hood is usually worn by people in uniform. In order to keep warm from the cold or from getting burn from the sun. Since it is available so easily, most normal people use the hood for a morning jog or to look like a ninja. Don't run into a burning house with this hood, is basically what the warning label is trying to say. Your face will burn!!! Hope I helped.

Tactical means that the logo on the hood is subdued or it is the same color as the hood. Black hood with black thermoseal "UA" emblem. It the same exact thing as the regular hood with teh exception of the logo.

Good question. I have no idea. A marketing ploy, I guess. It worked on me cause I bought because of the word "tactical" in it.

No, it does not. It provides only theft/safety protection, not fire protection.

The directions say "Keep away from heat, sparks & open flame" but they are talking about when applying it. Directions say nothing about not using near burner. I would call a good paint store or Lowe's or Home Depot, they could answer this best.

Call your local FD for advice.I just got off the phone with my town's fire inspector and he said they have never had a problem with any extinguisher reacting to the temps in New Hampshire in his 15 years. He recommended an extinguisher for ABC classes and said they won't explode because they are dry chemicals (powders I guess). We had an electrical fire in our rear taillight a few months ago and no extinguisher. I'm hoping that by being prepared, it won't happen again!

Please read this! I bought one of those cheap stoves from Amazon and it started up with a 4 foot flame. Nearly burned myself and the forest down. Scary!! There is a difference buying a cheap stove - they aren't regulated the same way. At least when you buy a name brand, they have to stand by their product. Will never buy generic again when it comes to something where safety is involved.

I think the product description says that it is fire retardant. I have dropped a couple of hot coal on it and the mat did not burn. I bought the product to protect my deck and so far it has worked perfectly.

Kevlar is not flammable, don't waste your time trying to burn it. Super glue sounds good.

It means frame. They made a typo. Spell check didn't catch it because "flame" is also a word. Maybe now they will fix it!

I don't think it has a UL fire rating...I didn't receive any such documentation with mine. But I was able to secure an insurance policy based on this safe, for whatever that is worth. It is constructed from some pretty heavy guage steel plate, so "resistant" is probably an OK adjective..."proof" is not. I would trust it as much as my free standing sentry safe, especially built into a sheetrock wall.

Yes.... This is a petroleum based product.... It is not highly flammable, but would burn.

The label does not mention fire resistance. There is a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 701 test for flame resistance, which is probably what the tradeshows are using as a guideline. If so, this probably would not meet their criteria.

Linda: The product is NOT heat proof. I would not use it in any application over 75 degrees F as it is a fabric based tape and will ignite at the combustion temperature. To confirm this, you might want to contact the vendor and they can give you the flash point. In the mean time, if you are looking for some sort of heat / tape use, check Amazon and use heat resistant for one of your search criteria.

no, that'd be fine. I thin, it means not on stove top element that's on. like someone's that dumb?! but if they had to say it, I guess probably so.

i suppose it is a typo "thermally" protected probably means if motor gets too hot it will "cut-off" rather than burn up from over current. never had this problem yet so I am not positive that is what they mean but many motors have thermal cutoff. for fire safety and UL rating etc. If motors over heat and cutoff they probably have a problem and need to be replaced anyway if it happens more than once or twice.

Good question, we do not know why they advise that. I can not see nothing wrong what you said, but make sure it doesn't get to warm to start the cloth on fire. I would test it first.

Yes, there's really no way to avoid this all together. Stoves with a narrower flame help, but there will still be some heat conducted from the cup to the handles. Some products have plasti-dip coating that insulates however it will eventually melt. I have read that silicone air line tubing for aquariums doesn't melt but haven't tried it. Shirt sleeves and/or a bandana work well.

Inert = inactive. That is a training canister that should be devoid of any burning chemical designed to be used for training and familiarization without risk of accidental burns. If that's not what was advertised, I would sincerely recommend asking for an exchange or refund.
