This flame-resistant sweatshirt is specially designed for professionals exposed to thermal hazards during their daily work. The sweater provides a reliable barrier against radiant, convective, and contact heat, ensuring the wearer remains optimally protected in high-risk industrial environments. Thanks to its well-thought-out material composition, this comfortable garment combines effective safety with an excellent fit for daily use.
For which specific work environments is this flame-resistant sweatshirt suitable?
This garment is ideally suited for use in ATEX environments and ESD environments where explosion hazards or static electricity pose a risk. The sweater meets the strict EN 1149-5 standard for anti-static properties, preventing the buildup of static charge.
This makes the sweatshirt essential for technicians and operators in the petrochemical sector, energy sector, and industrial installations where spark-free clothing is mandatory for the safety of personnel and facilities.
What do the flame-resistant standards of this flame-resistant sweatshirt mean?
The sweater complies with the EN ISO 11612 standard, meaning it protects against heat and flames. The specific classes A1, B1, C1, and F1 indicate that the garment is resistant to limited flame spread, convective heat, radiant heat, and contact heat, respectively.
Additionally, the sweatshirt provides protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc according to EN 61482-2 class APC 1, which is crucial for electrical engineering work.
