The Portwest chemical trousers offer excellent liquid protection and weather resistance for professionals working in high-risk environments. These trousers are designed for industrial applications where wearers may be exposed to light chemical sprays and heavy rainfall. Thanks to the innovative Flexatex fabric, this model combines a high level of safety with the necessary freedom of movement during daily tasks.
For which tasks and sectors are these Portwest chemical trousers most suitable?
This model is ideal for industrial cleaning, the chemical sector, and outdoor applications where there is a risk of splashing. The trousers meet the EN 13034 Type PB [6] standard, which means they are certified for partial body protection against liquid chemicals and light sprays.
In addition, the fabric is resistant to a ten percent sodium hydroxide solution. Thanks to the dirt-repellent and easy-to-wipe finish, the trousers remain presentable and functional even in demanding and muddy work environments.
What does the EN 343 rating mean for these waterproof chemical trousers?
The EN 343 Class 4:2 X rating indicates that these trousers offer excellent protection against precipitation and wind. Class 4 for waterproofness guarantees that the welded seams and the fabric can withstand a water column of 10,000 millimeters.
The class 2 rating for breathability ensures that water vapour is wicked away from the inside with a performance of 8,000 grams per square metre per 24 hours. This effectively prevents condensation from forming on the inside during physical exertion.
The fully elasticated waistband and stud-adjustable hems ensure a comfortable, snug fit that fits perfectly over your safety boots.
