The Portwest MV26 flame-resistant trousers are high-quality multi-norm work trousers specifically designed for professionals in high-risk working environments. These trousers offer reliable protection against various industrial hazards, such as heat, flames, and electric arcs. Thanks to the fluorescent fabric with reflective tape, you also enjoy excellent visibility during your daily work in hazardous conditions.
For which specific work environments are these flame-resistant trousers from Portwest suitable?
These flame-resistant trousers are ideally suited for use in ATEX environments and sectors where one is exposed to the thermal hazards of an electric arc, welding sparks, or chemical liquids. The trousers comply with strict standards such as EN ISO 11612 for heat protection and EN 13034 Type 6 for liquid chemicals.
This makes the garment essential for welders, electricians, and employees in the petrochemical industry who face complex safety risks daily and require certified protection.
What do the EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 20471 Class 1 standards mean for these flame-resistant trousers?
The EN ISO 11612 standard indicates that the trousers provide protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, with flame-resistant properties that are inherent and will not diminish during washing. The EN ISO 20471 Class 1 standard guarantees a basic level of high visibility through the reflective tape.
This ensures you are more easily noticed by those around you in situations with an increased risk of accidents, while simultaneously remaining optimally protected against extreme heat and flames.
The trousers offer extra comfort due to the elasticated waistband and are equipped with nine storage pockets, including a ruler pocket and practical kneepad pockets.
