The Portwest FR402 flame-resistant work trousers offer high-quality protection for professionals working in high-risk environments where heat and flames pose a danger. These innovative trousers combine certified safety with a contemporary design, making them ideal for daily use during heavy industrial work. Thanks to the thoughtful material selection and comfortable fit, the trousers are extremely suitable for welders, mechanics, and technicians who must perform under challenging conditions.
For which specific tasks and sectors are these flame-resistant work trousers suitable?
These flame-resistant work trousers are specifically designed for use in the petrochemical, installation, and metalworking sectors. Because the trousers are certified for use in ATEX environments, they are highly suitable for locations with an increased risk of explosion.
In addition, the model offers protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, allowing welders and maintenance technicians to work safely. The trousers meet strict safety standards such as EN ISO 11611 Class 1 for welding and EN ISO 11612 for heat protection, which guarantees reliability in industrial environments.
What does the EN 1149-5 standard mean for these flame-resistant work trousers from Portwest?
The EN 1149-5 standard indicates that these flame-resistant work trousers have electrostatic dissipative properties to prevent electrostatic charging. This reduces the risk of sparks that could cause fires or explosions in explosive atmospheres.
Unlike standard workwear, these trousers are made from inherently flame-resistant Modaflame fabric. This means the protective properties are built into the fiber and will not be lost during washing, ensuring the trousers continue to offer maximum safety throughout their entire service life.
The trousers feature an elasticated waist, pre-shaped knees with knee pockets, and eight convenient storage pockets. The leg length is easily adjustable from 31 to 33 inches.
