The Portwest FR14 flame-resistant leggings are a high-quality anti-static base layer specially designed for professionals working in cooler conditions. This thermal base layer offers reliable protection against various thermal risks and is ideal for daily use in high-risk work environments. Thanks to the well-considered material composition, the wearer remains warm, comfortable, and optimally protected against unexpected hazards throughout the working day.
Which specific work environments are these flame-resistant leggings from Portwest suitable for?
These flame-resistant leggings are ideally suited for use in ATEX environments where there is a constant risk of explosion due to gases or dust. The trousers are frequently worn by professionals in the petrochemical industry, the oil and gas sector, and chemical processing.
Because the material provides effective protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, the leggings are also ideal for welders and metalworkers exposed to thermal risks. The inherent flame-resistant properties do not wash out, ensuring long-lasting safety.
What do the EN ISO 11612 and EN 1149-5 standards mean for these anti-static leggings?
The EN ISO 11612 standard indicates that the clothing protects against heat and flames, with the A1, B1, C1, and F1 classes representing specific performance levels against flame spread and various heat sources. The EN 1149-5 standard confirms the leggings' anti-static properties.
This means the fabric prevents the buildup of electrostatic charges, minimizing the risk of sparks that could cause an explosion in hazardous environments. This makes the leggings certified for use in ATEX zones.
