The Portwest flame-resistant work trousers are specially designed for professionals in high-risk work environments who demand maximum protection and visibility. These trousers combine inherent flame-resistant properties with high visibility in accordance with standards. Thanks to strategically placed stretch panels, the garment offers excellent flexibility during active tasks. The trousers are ideal for welders, electricians, and mechanics who deal with heat, flames, and potential electrical discharges on a daily basis.
For which specific work environments are these Portwest flame-resistant work trousers suitable?
These flame-resistant work trousers are ideally suited for use in ATEX environments where there is a risk of explosion due to static electricity. The trousers comply with the strict EN 1149-5 standard for antistatic protection, which is crucial in the petrochemical and chemical industries.
Furthermore, the model is certified according to EN ISO 11612 for protection against heat and flames, and offers class 2 high visibility in accordance with EN ISO 20471. This makes the trousers indispensable for work along the road, on construction sites, and in the vicinity of heavy machinery.
What do the specific standards for electric arc discharge mean for these flame-resistant work trousers?
The trousers comply with the standards EN 61482-2 EN 61482-1-1 and EN 61482-1-2 APC 1. This means the wearer is effectively protected against the thermal hazards of an electric arc discharge.
The ELIM value of 6.4 cal/cm² and the EBT value of 6.8 cal/cm² indicate the exact level of energy absorption before material breakage occurs. This ensures certified safety during work on electrical installations, unlike standard work trousers without these specific protection classes.
Practical details such as detachable holster pockets, ten storage pockets, top-loading kneepad pockets, and an elastic waistband ensure optimal comfort and flexibility.
