This flame-resistant sweatshirt from Portwest is specifically designed for professionals who are exposed to heat, fire, and static electricity during their daily work. The PW3 FR716 is a high-quality multi-norm sweater that combines certified safety with high wearing comfort for high-risk work environments. Thanks to the fluorescent fabric and reflective striping, this model also ensures you are always clearly visible in the workplace.
For which specific work environments is this flame-resistant sweatshirt suitable?
This garment is ideal for industrial work environments where there is a risk of exposure to radiant, convective, and contact heat. Due to its anti-static properties in accordance with the EN 1149-5 standard, the sweatshirt is safe to use in ATEX zones where there is a risk of explosion.
In addition, it offers protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc according to the EN 61482-2 standard. This makes the sweater extremely suitable for welders, installers, and technicians in the petrochemical and energy sectors.
What do the flame-resistant and reflective standards of this flame-resistant sweatshirt mean?
The flame-resistant properties of this model are inherent, meaning that the protection is in the fiber itself and will not be lost during washing. The EN ISO 11612 standard guarantees protection against various types of heat and flames.
The EN ISO 20471 class 1 certification indicates that the garment provides a basic level of high visibility. The heat-applied segmented reflective striping provides extra visibility without restricting freedom of movement or elasticity.
