The Portwest MV73 Modaflame Softshell jacket is an advanced multi-norm jacket specially designed for professionals working in high-risk environments. This jacket offers reliable protection against flames, chemical splashes, and antistatic charges. Thanks to its high-quality materials, this garment is exceptionally suitable for daily use in the petrochemical, installation, and utility sectors, where safety and comfort must go hand in hand.
For which specific working environments is this multi-norm jacket suitable?
This multi-norm jacket is ideally suited for use in ATEX environments and zones with an increased risk of explosion or exposure to heat and flames. Thanks to its EN ISO 11611 Class 2 certification, the jacket provides excellent protection during welding work and related processes.
Furthermore, the EN 13034 Type 6 standard ensures that the wearer is protected against light mists and splashes of liquid chemicals, which is essential in the chemical industry.
What do the arc flash and heat standards of this Portwest MV73 mean?
The Portwest MV73 complies with the strict EN 61482-2 standard with an APC 2 rating and an ELIM value of 11 cal/cm², meaning the jacket offers high protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc flash.
The EN ISO 11612 standard also guarantees that the fabric is resistant to radiant and convective heat. Because these flame-retardant properties are inherent in the fibers, they are not lost during washing.
The three-layer softshell fabric is windproof, breathable, and water-repellent. Adjustable cuffs, a storm flap, and a drawcord hem offer extra comfort and protection against harsh weather conditions.
