For which specific working environments is this Portwest FR27 flame-resistant bib and brace suitable?
This bib and brace is ideally suited for use in ATEX environments and heavy industrial sectors such as metalworking, petrochemistry, and welding.
The clothing offers certified protection against splashes of molten metal and protects the wearer against radiant, convective, and contact heat. Thanks to its antistatic properties and flame-retardant performance, this overall meets the strict safety requirements of high-risk workplaces where explosion hazards or exposure to open flames and heat are a daily occurrence.
What does the EN ISO 11611 Class 2 rating on this Portwest FR27 flame-resistant bib and brace mean?
The EN ISO 11611 Class 2 rating means that this overall is certified for heavy welding techniques and situations with an increased risk of welding spatters and radiant heat.
Unlike Class 1, Class 2 offers more effective protection for more extreme welding tasks where more sparks and molten metal particles are released. This makes the overall the ideal choice for welders who work under heavy conditions for long periods and require maximum passive safety in the workplace.
The overall is equipped with elastic shoulder straps, a hook-and-loop adjustable hem, a durable brass zipper, triple-stitched seams, and seven handy storage pockets.
