This flame-resistant gilet from Portwest is specifically designed for professionals working in high-risk environments where visibility and safety are crucial. The bodywarmer offers reliable protection against flames and static electricity, while the striking color and reflective striping ensure optimal visibility in the workplace. Thanks to the high-quality materials, this model is excellently suited for daily use in the industrial and construction sectors.
For which tasks is this flame-resistant gilet from Portwest most suitable?
This flame-resistant gilet is ideal for work in the petrochemical industry, the energy sector, and on construction sites where there is a risk of flame contact or static discharge. Thanks to the windproof and water-repellent three-layer softshell fabric, the garment offers excellent protection during outdoor work in harsh weather conditions.
The breathable properties prevent overheating during physical exertion. Additionally, the handy radio loops and pockets with flame-resistant zippers ensure that you can carry tools and communication equipment safely and within reach during your daily activities on the construction site or industrial location.
What do the EN ISO 14116 and EN 1149 standards mean for this flame-resistant gilet?
The EN ISO 14116 Index 3 standard guarantees that the fabric of this flame-resistant gilet has limited flame spread, ensuring that the material does not continue to burn upon brief contact with ignition sources. The EN 1149-5 standard confirms the antistatic properties, which prevents the buildup of electrostatic charge to minimize the risk of sparking in explosive environments.
Because these protective properties are inherent in the fibers, they are not lost during washing. This guarantees constant and reliable safety throughout the entire service life of the bodywarmer.
The flexible, segmented reflective striping is heat-applied for extra freedom of movement. The chin guard and the non-magnetic, nickel-free materials increase daily wearing comfort.
