For which specific tasks are these flame-resistant sleeves from Portwest suitable?
These protectors are ideally suited for welders and metalworkers who are exposed to welding spatters and thermal hazards on a daily basis. The sleeves offer certified protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, as well as against splashes of molten metal.
In industrial environments where welders perform intensive tasks, these loose sleeves perfectly complement regular welding clothing. They prevent premature wear of your jacket and offer extra safety on the most vulnerable parts of your forearms during welding and grinding.
What do the EN ISO 11611 and EN ISO 11612 standards mean for these flame-resistant sleeves?
The EN ISO 11611 Class 1 standard indicates that these protectors are suitable for manual welding techniques with light formation of spatters and drops. The EN ISO 11612 standard guarantees that the material is resistant to heat and flames, subdivided into various performance classes for contact and radiant heat.
In addition, the product meets the ASTM F1959 standard for protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. This makes the sleeves extremely versatile for use within heavy industry.
The elasticated cuffs at both ends ensure a flexible, comfortable fit that sits securely and does not slide down during active work.
