The Portwest FR26 flame-resistant work trousers are high-quality multi-standard trousers specifically designed for professionals working in high-risk industrial environments. These robust trousers offer excellent protection against various thermal hazards and are perfectly suited for heavy-duty working conditions. Thanks to advanced material technology, you are assured of optimal safety during your daily tasks in demanding sectors where heat, flames, and welding sparks are a constant risk.
For which specific working environments are these flame-resistant Portwest work trousers suitable?
These flame-resistant work trousers are specifically certified for use in ATEX environments and explosive atmospheres. This makes the model ideally suited for professionals in the petrochemical industry, the oil and gas sector, and chemical processing.
In addition, the trousers offer certified protection against molten metal splashes and are approved for class 2 welding work. This means the trousers are resistant to heavier welding techniques and situations involving higher levels of welding sparks and radiant heat.
What do the EN ISO 11612 and EN 1149-5 standards mean for these flame-resistant work trousers?
The EN ISO 11612 standard indicates that the trousers provide protection against heat and flames, including radiant, convective, and contact heat. The added classes specify the level of resistance to these thermal hazards and molten metal splashes.
The EN 1149-5 standard confirms that the clothing is electrostatic dissipative. This prevents electrostatic charging that can cause sparks, which is essential for safety in environments where there is a risk of explosion.
The trousers feature a semi-elasticated waistband, six convenient storage pockets including a ruler pocket, and knee pad pockets that are adjustable in two positions for optimal comfort.
