Portwest FR95 Shirt: Thermo-Electric Protection and Industrial-Grade Visibility

The FR95 shirt is an engineered textile solution designed for high-risk environments where the dangers of electrical arc and flash fire converge. Manufactured with the specialized Bizflame 88/12 fabric (88% cotton and 12% nylon), this garment offers exceptional thermal resistance without compromising the softness or breathability necessary for prolonged work shifts.

Why is this equipment vital for operations?

• Fire Performance: Unlike superficially treated garments, the FR95's flame-retardant finish is designed to maintain its chemical integrity throughout the garment's lifespan, preventing flame spread in case of accidental contact.
• Superior Mechanical Resistance: The addition of 12% high-tenacity nylon significantly increases resistance to abrasion and tearing, outperforming 100% cotton garments.
• Safety in Critical Areas: Equipped with flame-resistant reflective tape, it ensures the operator is identified under any lighting conditions without adding combustible materials to the equipment.

Regulatory Compliance Analysis

This equipment has been rigorously tested to meet international protection standards. The Bizflame technology ensures that, in the event of thermal exposure, the fabric creates a carbonized barrier that insulates the skin from intense heat, minimizing the percentage of body burns.

• Composition: Bizflame 88/12 (88% Cotton / 12% High-Tenacity Nylon).
• Thermal Protection: Inherent flame propagation resistance.
• Arc Rating: Suitable for environments requiring electrical arc protection (specify ATPV per batch).
• Functionality: Two chest pockets with flap closures to prevent the entry of incandescent particles.
