Portwest FR35 Jacket: Multi-Risk Thermal Shield and Permanent Antistatic Resistance

The FR35 jacket is a piece of protective engineering designed for professionals operating in the most demanding conditions in the energy, petrochemical, and electrical maintenance industries. Made with Bizflame Plus technical fabric, this garment provides certified protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat. Its structure incorporates carbon fibers that ensure continuous electrostatic dissipation, making it critical equipment for safety in ATEX zones and areas with deflagration risk.

Why is this equipment vital for operations?

• Industrial Grade Thermal Protection: Designed to resist ignition and maintain its structural integrity in the face of fire, this jacket acts as a thermal barrier that minimizes the risk of burns. Its flame-retardant properties are permanent, withstanding industrial washing cycles without degrading its level of protection.
• Visibility and Resistance Engineering: It features flame-resistant reflective tapes, double-stitched to prevent detachment in rough use conditions. This ensures that the operator is detected in low-visibility environments, complying with the strictest passive safety protocols.
• Reinforced Mechanical Durability: Constructed with triple-stitched seams using high-strength flame-retardant thread, the FR35 is prepared to withstand physical stress and constant abrasion, ensuring a long service life even in the heaviest maneuvers.

Regulatory Compliance Analysis

This equipment complies with international standards EN ISO 11612 (Heat and Flame), EN ISO 11611 (Welding), and EN 1149-5 (Antistatic). Its functional design includes a front flap with hidden brass snap buttons to prevent heat conduction and facilitate quick removal in an emergency.

• Material: Bizflame Plus (99% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fiber) 350g (Heavyweight Fabric).
