This flame-resistant sweatshirt from Portwest is specifically designed for professionals who require reliable protection in high-risk work environments. Thanks to its high-quality materials, this comfortable sweater offers excellent resistance against various thermal hazards during daily tasks. The design combines a sporty look with certified safety, making this garment ideal for industrial applications where welding spatters, heat, or electric arcs pose a real risk.
In which specific work environments does this flame-resistant sweatshirt provide the right protection?
This garment is ideal for use in ATEX zones and environments with an increased risk of explosion or sudden flash fires. Thanks to its anti-static properties compliant with the EN 1149-5 standard, electrostatic charges are safely dissipated.
In addition, the sweater is certified according to EN ISO 11612, meaning the wearer is effectively protected against radiant, convective, and contact heat. This makes the sweatshirt indispensable for welders, maintenance technicians, and operators in the petrochemical industry and the energy sector.
What does the inherent flame resistance of this flame-resistant sweatshirt mean for maintenance?
The flame-resistant properties of this model are inherent, meaning the protection is embedded in the fiber itself rather than applied as a coating afterward. As a result, the protective performance will not be lost during washing, no matter how often you clean the sweater.
The garment also complies with the strict EN 61482-2 standard for protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, with an APC 1 class and an ATPV value of 15 cal/cm², which guarantees long-lasting safety.
The sweatshirt features a practical hood, ribbed cuffs, and a knitted hem for an optimal fit. Two convenient pockets provide secure storage space.
