Description
The Portwest flame-resistant jacket is an essential garment for professionals working in environments where extreme heat and molten metal are present. This jacket is specially designed to provide maximum safety during heavy-duty work in the metal industry and foundries. Thanks to its advanced materials, this jacket effectively protects the wearer against the dangers of welding sparks and radiant heat, allowing you to carry out your work with peace of mind every day.
For which specific work environments is this Portwest flame-resistant jacket suitable?
This jacket is ideally suited for heavy industrial environments where molten metals such as aluminum, iron, and steel are handled.
The jacket offers certified protection in foundries and during class 2 welding activities, where the risk of metal splashes is high. Furthermore, the garment is approved for use in ATEX environments, meaning it can be worn safely in zones with an increased risk of gas or dust explosions.
What do the EN ISO 11612 D3 and E3 standards mean for this flame-resistant jacket?
The EN ISO 11612 standard indicates that the jacket offers protection against heat and flames, with codes D3 and E3 specifically representing the highest resistance class against splashes of molten aluminum and molten iron, respectively.
This means the material repels liquid metal rather than allowing it to adhere. This significantly reduces the risk of serious burns upon contact with these molten metals.
The jacket features adjustable cuffs with snap buttons, convenient radio loops, two secure storage pockets, and also offers UPF 40+ protection against harmful UV radiation.
