Description
The Portwest FR756 flame-resistant sweatshirt is designed for professionals in high-risk work environments who require both high visibility and certified heat protection. This multi-norm sweater offers reliable safety for welders, mechanics, and industrial workers. Thanks to its inherent flame-resistant properties, which do not wash out, this garment ensures optimal protection against thermal hazards and sudden flame contact at all times.
Which specific work environments is this flame-resistant Portwest sweatshirt suitable for?
This garment is ideal for industrial sectors, the energy industry, and construction, where workers are exposed to heat, flames, and static electricity. Due to its anti-static properties, the sweater may be worn in ATEX environments where there is a risk of explosion.
Furthermore, the EN ISO 20471 class 2 certification ensures excellent visibility in daylight and darkness. The orange version also meets the RIS 3279 TOM standard, making this model suitable for work on the British rail network.
What do the flame-resistant and anti-static standards of this sweatshirt signify?
The sweater meets stringent European safety standards. The EN ISO 11612 standard guarantees protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat. The EN 1149-5 certification confirms its anti-static performance to prevent electrostatic charges.
For protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, the sweatshirt complies with EN 61482-2 APC 1, with an ELIM value of 8 cal/cm². This means the wearer is effectively protected against the immediate effects of a short-circuit arc during electrical work.
The sweatshirt offers added comfort due to its high cotton content and elastic waistband. The segmented reflective striping is heat-applied for optimal freedom of movement.
