Thanks to the well-considered material composition, this model combines a high level of safety with the necessary comfort during long workdays, allowing you to carry out your daily tasks unhindered and protected.
For which specific sectors and working conditions are these flame-resistant work trousers suitable?
These trousers are ideal for use in metalworking, the oil and gas industry, and ATEX environments where there is a risk of explosion. The trousers provide certified protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, as well as splashes of molten metal.
Furthermore, the garment is certified for welding work under the EN ISO 11611 Class 1 standard. This means that the wearer is protected against less hazardous welding techniques and situations with lower levels of spatters and radiant heat.
What do the EN 1149 and EN 13034 standards mean for these flame-resistant work trousers?
The EN 1149-5 standard indicates that these trousers are electrostatically dissipative, which prevents the buildup of static electricity to avoid sparking in potentially explosive zones. The EN 13034 Type 6 standard guarantees that the trousers offer protection against light sprays and splashes of liquid chemicals.
This makes the model versatile multi-norm trousers that can be used in various high-risk environments where exposure to chemicals and static discharges pose a real danger.
The trousers are equipped with an elasticated waist, eight convenient storage pockets including a ruler pocket, and two-position adjustable knee pad pockets for optimal comfort.
