Portwest SW20 leather welding sleeves offer professional protection for your forearms and elbows during intensive work. These high-quality welding sleeves are specially designed for welders who need to perform in tough conditions and require reliable protection against heat and sparks. Thanks to the robust material and strong para-aramid stitching, this protective clothing is extremely suitable for daily use in demanding work environments where safety is paramount.
For which specific tasks and sectors are these Portwest SW20 welding sleeves suitable?
These split leather welding sleeves are exceptionally well-suited for heavy-duty applications in the welding industry and metalworking where welders are exposed to extreme heat, welding spatter, and sparks.
The premium cowhide split leather, combined with heat-resistant para-aramid stitching, provides an excellent barrier against mechanical and thermal risks. This makes them ideal for manual welding techniques with heavy spatter, such as MIG/MAG welding and electrode welding, where extra arm protection is necessary to prevent burns and wear to underlying clothing.
What does the EN ISO 11611 Class 2 (A1) standard mean for these leather welding sleeves?
The EN ISO 11611 Class 2 (A1) standard indicates that these welding sleeves provide protection during manual welding techniques involving heavy spatter and droplets of molten metal.
Class 2 is the highest class within this standard and is specifically designed for extreme welding conditions and heavy industrial processes. The addition of A1 refers to the flame spread test, indicating that the material is resistant to brief contact with flames. This ensures that the sleeves do not catch fire immediately when exposed to sparks.
The elasticated cuffs ensure a secure and comfortable fit, preventing the sleeves from sliding down during work.
