Description
The Portwest FR66 Bizflame Ultra flame-resistant trousers are multi-standard work trousers for professionals in hazardous industrial environments such as the metalworking industry, petrochemical industry and sectors with ATEX zones. The trousers protect welders, technicians and operators daily against heat, open flame, electric arc flashes and chemical splashes, and meet multiple European and international standards simultaneously.
For which work environments and sectors are the Portwest FR66 flame-resistant trousers suitable?
The Portwest FR66 is suitable for welders, electrical technicians and operators in the petrochemical industry, metalworking industry and other environments with explosion hazards or exposure to arc flashes.
Thanks to the antistatic properties (EN 1149-5) and the non-magnetic composition without nickel or iron, the trousers can also be used in ATEX zones and sensitive industrial environments. The certified protection against molten metal splashes and the arc flash protection up to ATPV 13 CAL/CM² make the FR66 suitable for daily heavy use in sectors where standard work trousers offer insufficient protection.
What does the multi-standard certification of the Portwest FR66 mean and when do you choose this model?
The FR66 simultaneously meets multiple standards, including EN ISO 11612 for protection against heat and flame and EN ISO 11611 Class 1 for welding, where class 1 provides protection for less intensive welding processes with limited spatter formation.
In addition, the trousers are certified according to EN 61482-2 APC 1 for protection against electric arc flashes and EN 13034 Type 6 for limited protection against liquid chemicals. You choose this model when you want to cover multiple risks in one garment, without changing trousers for every task. This makes the FR66 efficient in environments with varying hazards.
The trousers have eight storage pockets, a ruler pocket, knee pad pockets in two positions and an elastic waist for daily wearing comfort.
