Portwest MV70 Jacket: Multi-Hazard Protection Engineering, ModaFlame™ Technology, and Electric Arc Shielding

The MV70 is an advanced textile-engineered garment designed to provide superior protection in environments where electrical and thermal risks are persistent. By integrating ModaFlame™ technology, this jacket offers robust shielding that combines intrinsic flame resistance with certified protection against electric arc incidents. It is an essential technical solution for electrical maintenance personnel, field engineers, and control panel operators who require maximum safety without sacrificing mobility and mechanical durability in demanding work areas.

Critical Operational Capabilities

• High-Level Inherent Protection: ModaFlame™ technology ensures that flame resistance is integrated into the fiber itself. This guarantees consistent performance against thermal exposure, eliminating the degradation of protection characteristic of treated fabrics and providing a long-lasting safety standard.
• Electric Arc Shield: Developed to minimize thermal energy transfer in the event of an arc fault, the MV70 is a critical element within the personal safety system for maneuvers in medium and high voltage installations, significantly reducing the risk of severe burns.
• Mechanical Resistance for Heavy-Duty Work: In addition to its thermal protection, the fabric structure offers remarkable resistance against wear and accidental cuts from friction with metal components or industrial wiring, ensuring the integrity of the garment during intensive tool handling.

Technical Structure Details

• Base Material: High-performance ModaFlame™ fabric (60% Modacrylic, 39% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fiber), designed for balanced protection and thermal comfort.
• International Certifications: EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2, B1, C1, F1), EN ISO 11611 (Class 1, A1+A2), IEC 61482-2 (APC 1), EN 1149-5 (Antistatic).
• Tactical Configuration: Front closure system with arc protection flap, easy-access pockets for measuring instruments, sleeves with technical adjustment to prevent snagging, and ergonomic design that facilitates the use of a harness or additional protective equipment.
• Industrial Stability: Molecular structure optimized to withstand aggressive industrial cleaning processes, preserving the protective capacity and material resistance against degradation from daily operational use.
