This flame-retardant sweatshirt is specifically 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-considered material composition, this comfortable garment combines effective safety with an excellent fit for daily use.
For which specific work environments is this flame-retardant 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 antistatic properties, preventing the buildup of static charge. This makes the sweatshirt indispensable for technicians and operators in the chemical industry, energy sector, and installation technology who work in zones with an increased risk of ignition.
What do the EN ISO 11612 and EN 61482 standards mean for this flame-retardant sweatshirt?
The EN ISO 11612 standard (A1, B1, C1, F1) guarantees that this sweatshirt offers protection against limited flame spread and various forms of heat transfer.
The EN 61482-2 standard, with an APC 1 classification and an ATPV of 15 cal/cm², means that the sweater protects against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. Because these flame-retardant properties are inherent in the Modaflame fiber, they are not lost during washing.
The sweatshirt has a high cotton content for optimal wearing comfort, ribbed cuffs that retain heat, and a convenient external standards label for quick recognition.
