Which work environments is the Portwest FR737 flame-resistant sweatshirt suitable for?
This garment is ideally suited for industrial sectors where workers are exposed to electric arcs, heat, or static electricity. Thanks to its antistatic properties, the sweater is safe to use in explosion-hazardous ATEX zones.
In addition, the model offers certified protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat. The sweater is certified according to the EN ISO 20471 Class 1 standard, which means that the garment offers a basic level of high visibility for lower-risk situations.
What do the flame-resistant and antistatic standards of this Portwest FR737 sweater mean?
The sweater meets strict European safety standards, including EN ISO 11612 for protection against heat and flames, and EN 1149-5 for antistatic properties. The EN 61482-2 standard guarantees protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc.
The inherent flame-resistant properties of the Modaflame fabric are built into the fiber itself. This means that the protection will not be lost or diminished after repeated washing, allowing you to rely on durable and constant safety during your work.
